I realize I have some catching up to do. Now I can actually do it because I'm not in school this semester. I decided getting ready for baby was kind of paramount since the other three might want to see their mother less insane than their worst nightmare. Here we go.
Max turned 7- what? Only one more year until he's baptized! I can't even believe that as I was buying his baby book (from birth to baptism) thinking that eight years would go by so slowly. I was wrong. Sometimes when I feel this baby move, I try to remember that first pregnancy with Max. It's hard to think that big boy was once so little and dependent on me. Here are some things that Max can do:
-Make his own toast/ sandwiches/ concoctions. Sometimes in the morning I ask him to make his lunch and he loves getting everything out that he wants on his sandwich. (Don't worry, no sharp knives allowed)
-Read in French and English. Seriously. So. Smart. He loves to read the books at story time at night, "I haven't read it yet today". Dustin sometimes finds "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" slightly...ummm... dragging. Max does really well, though, using intonation and proper rhyme timing. (did you catch that one?)
-Walk to school and friends' houses on his own. He loves to be independent.
-Floss. ( Which is AWESOME because I HATE flossing the kids' teeth.)
-Vacuum and unload the dishwasher and all sorts of chores. He's an awesome helper.
-Create. He still blows me away with his imagination!
Second item of business: Elle is potty trained. Well, mostly. She knows when she needs to go so she only wears a diaper at night and naps. So much better! She spent most of the Christmas holiday in the nude so that wasn't too bad to endure. She would occasionally ask for her "underwears". Now she says "Where's my panties?"-I'm sure all of you know how I detest that word.
Sam has started Club De Jeux (Play Group) at the school again. He's been very busy pretending to be Super Heroes, and learning letters with the sounds they make. He's been such a good helper with Elle. Sam loves to play with her and show her things like, how to eat (even yucky suppers), how to play in the toy room, and play puppies. He's a very sensitive little guy, and wants to play all the time.
Lemonade stand at G&G Wilde's in the summer. When he saw the kids across the street, he stated, "Those guys might be my friends over there", and skipped over to introduce himself.
April 2012. Number four. Another one to blog about. Because I'm so awesome at blogging. We're excited to be surprised with this one, because it's our last chance! So what do you think? Boy or girl?
