I
know I do not post very often. I really do
not remember how to do much to this site
since my friend was doing everything at the
beginning, I stink at computers.
Summer is here.
Thalia is in a summer program
and goes there most days throughout the
week. She loves it. Thalia is still on meds,
we have gone through tons of different ones,
she is currently on "The Patch" as most
everyone knows. It helps her so much. Not
many side effects either and she is such a
better healthier happy child while on meds.
You can tell when it wears off because she
starts doing things like yesterday we were
all out playing letting the kids jump in the
puddles from the rain. Thalia decided to put
Isabella in 1 of those small kid shopping
carts when my back was turned. Then tried to
haul butt down the drive way, OF COURSE the
shopping cart flipped over and there was
bella flat on her face on concrete. Thalia
picks her up and starts rocking her and says
she is sorry. We put Thalia in time out and
she screams "I was just trying to give her a
ride!". Truth is, she WAS just trying to
give her a ride, also we have told her about
55 times to NOT put Isabella in the shopping
cart. Also have told her about 2.2 MILLION
times to NOT pick up Isabella. After she
gets up from time out she walks over to
Isabella and picks her up and tries to run
with her. Isabella is 1/2 her weight and
height! THAT is the ADHD child. It is
constant, stressful, yet so innocent on
Thalia's part.
Olivia is growing BIG. She wears about 1/2 a
size under Thalia! She is so sweet yet so
manipulating and mean! Thats kids though. I
could look at how beautiful she is all day
long. Her hair is so long and her face so
sweet. She has been dx with a milk
allergy and since we took milk out of her
diet she is a happier child. She loved
school and cant wait for the new year to
begin.
Elijah is following in Thalia's footsteps.
He is ALL over the place and just can not
stop to focus. He is a sweet little boy
though and at 4 1/2 still loves his blanket.
He loves to play with his "MONSTER JAMS"
morning, noon, night and anything in
between! We let his hair grow out
again and it is amazing how cute he looks.
Straight on top but curls all the rest. He
begs me to shave his head like his daddy but
I just can not bring myself to cut his curls
off again.
Nadia....oh my sweet Nadia. She is the most
well behaved child, MOST of the time. She
listens, she rarely gets in time out, and
she does what she is told. She is my little
mommy and loves to clean and help set the
table and just please you. Now she is still
4 so she does know how to throw a great
temper tantrum, but we only see those 1 time
about every 6 weeks. She has perfected it
though.
Isabella is a spoiled rotten little girl. I
am in love with her. I am in love with all
of them! Isabella has the CUTEST smile ever.
She makes you work for it though. She looks
just like Thalia but with curly hair like
Elijah. She thinks she is a lot older then
she is. She fits in PERFECTLY with this
family. I thank God for her all the time.
Wally is STILL out of a job, if you are
counting that is now 11 months! I am VERY
worried but I just know it will work out.
With nobody working money is tight. I
thought he would only be without a job for a
few months, boy was I wrong. He keeps busy
though. He has done so much to our home,
within the next few months we should be
moving into the addition. We are going from
about 900 sq. feet to about 2200!!!
We went to North Carolina for a week and the
kids had so much fun. SO CHEAP! Our family
has a place there so all we had to pay for
was gas to get there. We did lots of free
fun things. Soon we will going to the beach
for a week. We paid for that a LONG time ago
when times were not so tough, if we cancel
we lose the money so we are going. I am
looking forward to the break. We do nothing
but sit on the beach. Sit on the balcony and
look out and dream of winning the lotto!
Please check the pictures because I AM
adding some.
