Finally Starting to get some where

We are happy to report that both of the kiddos are peeing on the potty and I mihgt be able to say soon that I have two potty trained kiddos. We will be so excited. We are having Liam's evaluation planning meeting in a couple of weeks. We are excited to get the process started and get his curent levels for his langauge and motor develpoment. His speech is really coming along. When ever he is looking for something and I tell him where it is, he will look for it and when he finds it he will say " there it is!" It is so cute. Well I have been trying to write this for some time, but things keep happening. Accidents, succeses, dinner, playtime, on and on. A couple more pictures for everyone to enjoy. On the tractor with daddy and sitting with grandpa.

Potty Training

Well we are starting to get some where with potty training. They are both doing pretty well. The last two days Adrian and I have been home together. We have been keeping them in underwear when we are home or near the house. We have been putting them back in diapers/pullups for car rides. nap and bed time, as well as out for errands. We are trying to still take them when they are in the pullups. We have found with Liam that he will wait until he had the diaper on and go. Then he pees through his diaper and his pants. Should just have kept him in undwear. We just do not want their carseats etting pee all over them. Today we will be venturing out for our regualr friday nigth Pizza Chef night with two kiddos in underpants. Adrian is very nervous. We will just make sure they go before we leave and then when we get there. Stella is a little better than Liam who will pee his pants and protest when ever he needs to try and sit. Other than potty training things have been going great. Liam is doing awesome in preschool and they both really like their new daycare. When I drop Liam off at daycare after preschool, Estella's runs up and gives him a big hug. They miss each other when they are apart. It is so cute. Liam's english is really coming along. Theythink he is doing great at preschool and the speech therapist thinks it is only a matter of time before he is caught up with the rest of the kids. For being home three months he is doing so amazing. He has grown another 1/4 inch and his size six shoes are starting to get a little tight. Yeah. The only problem that we have is that he is a little whinny and cries whenever he cannot get his way. This is pretty typical for a toddler anyway. It is just overwhelming for Adrian and I when both of them are doing it. We are liek silence please. Well hopefully tonight the red sox will win and life will be even better. Thanks for keeping up with us. Thought I would add a photo have some end of summer fun.

First Day Pictures

I am attaching Liam's first day of preschool. Estella had to dress up too. She was going back to daycare. They both are too cute. Also I am attaching Liam's first day of gymnastics and Estella's first day of Ballet. Liam cried through most of gymnastics and I had to go in and help him and then I tried to leave and he cried so I took him out. We are going to try again. Estella was so excited and she loved Ballet. They are both the smallest in their classes and the only two that have thier finger's in their mouths the whole time. We had a lot fo fun. They go every week. We are trying to potty train. We are going cold turkey in the evenings and when they are home. No more pullups. We are feeling pretty discouraged, but hopefully it will start to come along. We will see. Well I better get going. We need to get them in bed. We are trying to get them to bed earlier since they have to get up earlier to go to school and daycare. Enjoy the pictures. Sarah I am also putting in a picture of my neice Olivia's first day of kindergarten and a picture of Laim with his uncle Kabray, who he loves.

I want.....

Liam is starting to put words together to make sentences. It is so cute. It is mostly, "I want my daddy, I want go outside." Basically I want everything. He is talking more and more. It is really great. He started preschool on Tuesday. They all think he is so cute and he is defiantly the smallest three year old in the class. He seems to really like it their since he threw a full blown tantum when I picked him up this morning to go to daycare. He did not want to stop playing. But then when he realized he was going to play with more kids at daycare, he was really happy. Sometimes I cannot beleive how well he is doing. We had heard so many horror stories. I know it is only two months but we are feeling pretty blessed for the good times we are having. He had his doctors appointment again on Tuesday. He is now up to 24 1/4 pounds. Which is up over two pounds in two months. He is up to 341/2 inches, which is an increase of over 3 inches and he has gone up half a shoes size. I guess he is going to grow up before he grows out. The speech therapist at school is pleased with his progress and she is going to keep an eye on him. In two months he went from having basically no language to having a few sentences and tons of words. I am trying to get him to say my juice right now, instead he keeps saying I juice. Now he thinks it is funny and keeps saying it. What a jokster. Tomorrow is his first day of gymnastics and Estella's first day of ballet. We are all very excited. Adrian and I are going to take them over. After that I will post pictures of the first day of school and first day of gymnastics and ballet. I can't wait. They are both going to be so cute. Well it is bed time and we need to get them both to bed. Thanks for reading. Sarah
