Drought on Pictures

Sorry for the drought of pictures and posts on our blog. The computer that I mainly use got a major virus and we are trying to reboot it and just erase everything. Needless to say it is near impossible to work on the computer during the day and at night Nate is using his computer. So I have somewhat limited time. For instance why am I not going to bed now. It is past midnight Nate is on call which means he will not be home tonight, but still I should just go to bed.

Well, a quick update on what has been going on. Bristol has been tested and proven to be more than ready for kindergarten. She had to go through a two hour test to see if she could go early since she just misses the cut off date. They gave her an I.Q. test and other math and reading tests. She had to score at least in the 95th% but she blew through it and scored 99.8%. So needless to say she may be small but her brain is big. She is officially starting kindergarten on Tuesday next week. She is so excited as well as I. She often gets bored during the day now and then causes trouble.

Kali has decided to finally potty train. She is doing a marvelous job. I have known that she is pretty much ready for the last couple of months. She has shown interest a few days here and there but would just find it easier to wear a diaper. Well on Friday when she told me she didn't want to wear a diaper that day I decided we just needed to take the plunge and fully transition over and stop confusing her with switching back and forth. It was a little rough the first day or so because she had a hard time remembering that she didn't have a diaper on and would just pee unless she was naked and then she would be perfect and go on the toilet every time. So the first couple days she had a few accidents but the last three days she has been perfect with no mistakes. It did take her a few days to let her body take a #2 because she was scared it would hurt. So hopefully it really has been that easy for her to potty train and I wont have some crazy regression or something. If this was all it took then it has been a breeze compared to Bristol. I guess Bristol is just a real hard head and would just fight me with control over it.

Gwyn, is doing great. We had a rough spot there two weeks or so ago with her crying for hours in the evening. I then finally realized that the poor child was just over tired and I needed to start taking her up to her room to fall asleep and try to get her more on a schedule. I just paid more attention to the amount of time she was awake and tried to be more attentive with everything and she got way better. She is still super burpy which makes it frustrating sometimes when trying to put her to bed. I will burp her for what seems like forever, put her down only for her to wake up in a few minutes. When I go in to get her back to sleep I pick her up and pat her back to be greeted with yet a burp that would not come up in the last twenty minutes prior that I burped her. I have tried the gas drops, which help, but I swear those burps still get trapped in her. Bristol and Kali still adore her and almost love her too much sometimes.

Well now that I have written a novel I will say goodnight and get the rest I really need. I hope to post some pictures soon.
