Well, I'm two days out of the greatest failure yet with school. I had to walk away from the Government class from hell when there were 13 hours left of the class. It was very difficult for me to walk away. I spent over 40 hours on the class and made As and Bs on all my quizzes and test. I made a 91 on my final but there was too many assignments. Each one took 4 hours to do and I finally realized what a crazy situation I was in. I guess the hardest thing is what would I expect out of my own children. Well, the answer is I would expect them to complete the class and with a good grade. I guess this is one of those little life lessons.
It's hard when I've gotten such a satisfaction on the good grades I've made and that I've been working towards accomplishing my goal.
It's weird having so much time on my hands now. I've actually slept a lot the pass couple days and it feels really nice to actually be refreshed.
We've all got a cold around here. I think the crazy weather has caused it. The kids are doing really well though and haven't been too fussy. We have an appointment with our new Nutritionist tomorrow. I'm kind of anxious to see how much the kids weigh. I hope at least one will finally break the 20 pound mark.
In Brody news, we have to get him new glasses with stronger lenses. We are also looking at getting him a custom made walker to help him feel more comfortable and confident to be up right and we hope it will promote him to walk. I've got a huge goal for Gracie and Brody to be walking by their second birthday. Last year the goal was for everyone to be sitting up by their first birthday and they accomplished it so I feel like this is a good goal for them. Madi at this point is running around. It's really getting hard to keep all entertained and work with them as a group since they are all three at different stages.
Gracie has been doing so well at pulling to stand. We are over the moon about her progress. We hope we can get her left leg strong enough to walk. Right now she slides it forward instead of stepping with it. But, this is huge progress from where we were a month ago! She is so smart and really so sweet. I just LOVE her!
Brody has had some really bad days with his vision recently. His vision really affect his daily life. It's hard to see him so frightened because he can't see. I really feel like as he gets older he will learn more and more about how to work with the vision he has and will gain confidence. At least this is a huge hope for me.
Madi loves to talk on the phone. Meme got her a cell phone for Christmas and she takes turns with me talking on it. The other thing is she was drinking out of a little play cup last night and would put it to my lips for me to have a drink. She is really learning a lot these days.
Anyway, life is good. Sometimes we have the hardest lessons to learn but that is all about growing! Take care,
Krista
