February Update

How bad that I haven't updated in a month.  Oh my...  It is what it is so here we go with an update.


Kaylee:  I am mommy's biggest helper.   And my teacher's as well.  They both depend on me for so much.  I am writing a journal to my teacher.  I decided that she would like that better than getting pieces of paper every day.  Mommy is amazed at my handwriting. (Image below) She thought it was someone else's at first.  I write that way because I am a teacher too.  Kindergarten continues to dominate my conversations and thoughts.  I am reading very well and am happy to read harder books at school.



Chad and I made Valentine's boxes for school.


Cason and I are buds.  I sit with him while he is potty training sometimes.  He loves it when I read to him.



Cole:  The ENT is amazed at how well I am doing after having my tonsils and adenoids removed.  And after three weeks of no jumping, running, or biking, I am very happy to be able to do whatever I want (or so I think).  I am fascinated with jails right now and have figured out how I will break out if I have to go sometime.  God is using me to bring my parents to their knees.  A job with which I am happy to assist.  Legos, trains, and books occupy my non-timeout time.  I build amazing things.



Chad:  Math continues to be my favorite subject.  I am thrilled when my teacher chooses my answer as the example.  I spend around an hour a day on therapy activities and reading.  But it is paying off as my reading is improving and Miss W is helping me make great gains in many areas.

I love to play in the garden dirt and am trying to dig a really deep hole.  I am excited for summer to be able to bike and swim.  Soccer is just around the corner and I am looking forward to playing again.  Legos are my favorite toys and I make really cool planes.



Cason:  I have been mommy's dream child for the past month.  Giving hugs, kisses, and being obedient.  This week I decided that I have a mind of my own and am sharing it with others.  It has lead to some discipline but I am repentive afterwards.  I continue to use the potty but stopped telling mom once she finally gave in to letting me use it.  Either way, I am doing great!

My vocabulary has exploded.  At the beginning of February I started repeating words.  There are few words that I won't repeat.  Now I am repeating sentences and creating my own that are four to five words long.  I chatter non-stop and assume that everyone knows what I am saying.  I find myself very funny and love to read - especially when on the potty.  After doing my business, I lean down toward the potty and say, "Bye, Bye Poo-Poo!"  I can not reach the light switches and turn on all the lights and fans throughout the house.
