Status Update


Reagan:
Her sleeping is all over the place.  There was a week that she slept until 8 (which she has never done in her entire life).  Then there were those two days she was up before Logan.  She pretty consistently will fall asleep for her nap every other day.  And as of last week she has tested her boundaries by opening her door and coming down the stairs when she was suppose to be napping.  We're dealing with that at bedtime as well....


The other day she wanted to use the potty - after the 4th time in a row of going in and sitting her on the potty (by the way we are not in potty train mode) she poo'd.  She did that again today.  She has yet to pee but I figure I hear about parents having more difficulty with poo in the potty than pee...perhaps when we do begin potty training it will be a breeze.  

She has a skinned knee that gets broken open like everyday
Her 3rd 2 year molar is currently breaking the skin
She weighs 26lbs (37%) & is 34.5in tall (69%)


Logan:


This will be the longest stretch of time he's been out of therapy/school since he was 14 months old and maybe we're experiencing the effects of that.  For the first time EVER in his life he is throwing fits.  Limp body, screaming fits.  Developmentally he is delayed so maybe we're approaching his terrible twos ? We go to the pediatrician tomorrow to hopefully get some referrals to out patient therapy so we can get this kid happy again.

He is loud, doesn't listen well is consTantly in motion and doesn't play like every other kid.  Being here at my parents house amplifies that.  Not because of anything they do or say but because I become hyper aware of Logan when I'm around others.  Perhaps thats why I put myself in a bubble when we were in CT.  A little self preservation.  Kevin and I had that talk again that we have every couple months when we feel the weight of 3.5 years of give, give, give with the very minimal return at the very slowest rate.  We'll see what the next set of doctors has to say & hope new doctors, a new house & new routines makes a positive difference.

He eats a LOT
Has gone diaper diving in the worst way twice this month
He weighs 34lbs & is 2ft 2in tall


That about sums up them.

As for us:

We have color swatches picked out for the rooms we plan to paint.  We've purchased a large outdoor umbrella for our patio, new/used fancy washer & dryer, Reagan has a new twin headboard, Logan has a new bed, we bought a playset from my sisters friend, and we are currently in the market for a patio set and a couch :)

T-minus a little more than a week, maybe less :o
