What's that sound?? Oh, it's silence! Drew is out with Lee, and Tucker and Connor are both napping, though for how long I'm not sure. What to dooooo? There's cleaning to be done, Christmas shopping to prepare for, a dishwasher to unstack, laundry to fold. I think I'll blog instead.
It's been a busy and mostly positive fall here. Drew turned four and has lost a lot of the worst parts of being three already. Unfortunately, he's also lost naps, which makes our weekends a lot harder because we realized we relied on those naps for our own sanity! Luckily, we can still bribe him with quiet time in his room or a video in ours. He's growing like a weed, totally hilarious, and loves just about everything and everyone. He's been in swimming class and he's doing a fantastic job. I'm so proud of him.
Tucker has finally stopped fighting us and started using words! It's still hard to get him to eat dinner, but we've started bribing him with cubes of bread (his favorite food) and it's working, so we're good with that. He's really super funny, tries to make jokes with us even though we've only heard one or two sentences (both declarative) from him. The one I got was, "Put that back!" For the record, I did not.
Connor may be growing faster than the other two boys combined! We've finally found a great additive for his food to bulk up his weight, and it is working! He's getting tall (up past my bellybutton now) and adding pounds. We adjusted his medications again this fall, and fingers crossed, but it's working pretty nicely so far. Only a very few breakthroughs, which is a far cry from the every five nights that was prior to the medication change. He continues to love school, and we love getting good reports. He has a very special friend, Emma, who just loves playing with Connor. We got a great message from his teacher one day telling us that they played a game together where Connor was laid out on his back on the mats in the room, and Emma got big cardboard blocks out and built a tower on his stomach. Then Connor rolled over to knock the tower down, and he smiled and she laughed. They did it over and over again. I honestly thought for a very long time that Connor wouldn't really have any friends, and it's possibly the best way ever to be proven wrong.
Okay, I'm hearing Tucker playing in his crib, which means I should at least get the clean dishes out of the dishwasher before I bring him downstairs for a snack and the usual destruction of order.
