Abby accomplished putting herself to sleep in her bed, with bedtime prayers, brushing teeth and a little snuggling. Hand in hand with this was leaving the bottle behind, she is now a full fledged sippy cup fanatic. Though I have a feeling regular cups aren't far behind. She will drink out of them but the sippy cups are safer for ME. (No puddles to mop up) The babies can now roll around the floor with no worry about Abby coming after them. They love their big sister and even if they are bawling and screaming their heads off they will laugh at Abby... now if only I could get Abby to perform more! We moved Abby to the back seat with the twins in the side seats. This works perfectly because the twins can watch Abby and be entertained and Abby can be entertained by making them laugh. Yep I love hearing them laugh when I drive (better than crying!)
Baby gates are being used for babies only now. I no longer need a baby gate in front of the nursery. Abby leaves most of the clothes alone though occasionally I need to remind her that she is not allowed to dress Elmo in all of the babies' pj's. Oops Kara just pulled out the power cord. Abby still loves clothes but doesn't undo everything like she used to lol. She can pull herself up onto the 'big kid' swings and will sit there yelling for us to push her. I'm trying to teach her how to pump her legs :o)
I'm not sure how soon potty training will come but we are ready! I have Elmo Abby little girl underpants. If we both feel ambitious some day perhaps we'll give it a shot. Right now I'm not ready but those little Elmo undies are cute! They were a little more expensive but if they get her excited about potty training then they are worth every cent!
I'm still waiting to hear back from my nursing group to see if I will get accepted back into the program this Fall. If I'm not accepted then I'm not sure what I will do. But can't worry about that now. I filled out my Fafsa forms and it made me laugh when the form told me that my number of children in the last year had increased dramatically and that I should recheck it. Yes... my number of children HAS increased.
Tom took the van to work today, I guess the brake pads in his jeep are going bad. Awesome. But it means we are stuck home for the day. Hopefully I will get some things done then! We are going to replace the floor in our living, dining, kitchen stairs and hallway. We decided on a laminate wood floor that is higher quality. I'm excited to do it. It will make our house look so nice. The carpet in the living room is actually starting to come up all on its own. I decided I would rather enjoy the floor than install it before we sell. And who knows when we will be able to sell again! If we do it ourselves we will save 2 grand. So my parents and Tom's parents are going to help us with this massive project! I'm excited though. I'll try to take some pictures to show it off :o)
Kiley is back on Prevacid. She has not stopped throwing up the baby food every time she eats and they want to check and see if it is reflux first. Hopefully the Prevacid will help. Tom got a squash flavored puke last night. Baby spit up is nasty... baby puke tinted with squash or green beans or pears is even worse. So we are going to try a two week trial on the Prevacid and go in to see the GI doctor for a visit. She's starting to not like eating and that is almost more of a concern than the puking. So we'll see what happens. It was so funny yesterday Kiley and Kara took these really long morning naps. I went in around 1:30 to check on Kiley and she was sitting in her crib watching the mobile (that she had turned on) She got so excited when she saw me that she tipped over.
Well I think I've written enough for now! I'll try to be better about writing. Our power keeps going off at 11pm and thats usually when I write. Perhaps I'll have to get on earlier.
Oh and I think I'm going to start a meal goal... stay tuned for more info ;)
