give me your booty

just wanted to drop a few notes on the monkeys...

kadence

is doing so well. she is loving being outside now that it is officially warm outside. she is doing well in school and is really taking off with her reading. she is great at telling me what the speed limit is too ;). she says "mom, you can go 5-0." funny. she is such a big sister. she will not let anyone step out of line. if they do, she is quick to let me know. she is taking her own baths, washing her own hair, of course picking out her own outfits. i remind her that i get to pick what she wears when we go somewhere special. kadence does miss her daddy and talks about him often. she can't wait to get to have slumber parties again with him (sorry honey, your secret is out).



kambel

is so cute! she has grown so much - literally!! she skipped an entire size (from 2t straight to 4t), wow!! she is beginning to ask why? why? why? for everything. i remember when kadence went through that stage. i thought i was gonna go crazy... she too loves being outside. she finds 'flowers' (aka weeds) and picks them and then will try to plant it and say "mom, look at my flower i planted!" she is funny. she looooooooooves to swing. she really loves the dirt! kambel is such a happy person, and truly only gets grumpy when she is tired. she loves to sing songs, over and over and over and over and over. i will have to catch her on camera... i did get this on camera too funny!!!



ty

now you wanna talk about someone who loves being outside! this kid! he wants to be out there doing something all the time. we try! he loves to play with his bike and all his balls. he loves swinging too, as well as climbing up the slide and sliding back down. his favorite has to be riding the lawn mower. he will point to the shed and say "ooo? ooo?" i know what he wants... on a dimmer note, still we are fighting his ear infections. mainly it is his left ear, but basically since october he has been treated 6 times for an ear infection. finally we got a referral to an ear, nose and throat doctor. first we will go to the audiologist, then to the ENT to see what treatment is necessary. the family doctor mentioned that half of the kids who get tubes are like ty, they have reoccurring ear infections that do not clear up and the other half of the kids are those that have trouble with speaking/hearing. i don't think ty has issues with his hearing because his receptive language is awesome. he has several age appropriate words (mama, dada, dog, wow, uh-oh, ball, thank you, yes, all done, bite) which are all good signs, we just need to get the infections under control and see why his ears are not draining correctly. this said, he takes it in stride and is a champ at taking medicine!! lol. SO you knew these pictures were to come. he HATED it! ha ha! eric is gonna kill me...
