I can't believe we are already a week into 2015! I now have 4.5 year old kiddos and tomorrow Tuts will be 8 months old. I'm in shock of it all! Time is not on our side. It's more apparent every single day.
We've had a quiet New Year with doctor/ specialist appointments. I LOVE not going down to TCH. It's gotten to the point of dreading going a couple days before the appointments. The entire process just stinks. It takes forever to drive down there, parking is usually an issue and it's so expensive ($13 most days), doctors are rarely on time so you have to wait sometimes over an hour just for the doctor to walk in the door, most trips there are no solutions so it feels like a waste of time, and there is nothing normal about a kid being at TCH so much. Of course we have so much to be thankful for as it could be a lot worse but still, it's not something you imagine while daydreaming.
Brody got a guitar for Christmas and watch out country music because he is the next big star! It's so funny that he is such a little country boy considering we aren't. He'd prefer his cowboy boots any day and cowboy hat if allowed. His deep little man voice when he sings "Country Boys Will Survive" my stars it's precious! He really seems interested in music.
Madi has grown into a beautiful little girl. There isn't much baby about her. She is extremely smart and extremely independent. She is always eager to learn things... anything. She likes to dance and sing and cannot wait for her daddy to take her to the Castle (Disney World). She bosses Brody and Gracie around still but takes a much sweeter side to Truette. And boy does Truette love Madi. Madi's newest thing is when she is 5 years old she will do this or that like mommy and daddy. She thinks 5 years old is a real age to be. I'm just still in complete shock that their 5th birthday is approaching.
Gracie is doing good. She has developed quite the bad attitude. She really gets a rotten attitude often. Sometimes it's because she doesn't want to wear her leg brace, other times it's because she is just in a bad mood. She often does things that only hurt her I guess trying to show whomever she has control. She still is much more immature than Madi although, they do get along well. She is not interested in learning at all and pretty much does not/ will not do any type of "homework". It usually ends in a knock down drag out. I think she sometimes has amnesia and totally forgets she was born to the wrong mother for any of that nonsense. Have mercy! I hope she outgrows it soon.
Truette is always smiling and laughing. She was recently gifted a couple Minnie Mouses and baby dolls from the girls that talk. She is really enjoying them and can make them talk on her own by pushing the buttons. She is on the go now. I was in the kitchen cooking the other day and she crawled from the living room into the kitchen and pulled on my pants to let me know I needed to pick her up. I couldn't imagine not having her in our family. She is the sweetest little baby.
Update soon.
