Quickly again.
Things are good. G is doing really well. She did give Ben a really hard time a few weeks ago but aside from that, she's for the most part been really great. She has so much more confidence. I see her walking strong to go to Emma's house to walk to the bus. She is slowly reading. It's a slow process. But she isn't fighting it. I got her a box setof helly kitty books with a CD. She spent yesterday after reading the books in the bike while we went to get her haircut and went to the farmer's market. She gets stuck on words and doesn't actively look at the cue's to even guess it, like she'll guess but guess a synomym that starts with a different letter!! But at least she is interested. She also got a book that is a beginning clock book and has been working on telling time. she doesn't fight to go to school and while I am still not a morning person and I still have to do a lot of "chop chop chop" to get her dressed and eating etc, she is just being slow rather than flipping out saying " I DON't LIKE School". phew. A huge weight off my shoulders for this year so far.
Toby is good too. He can really be a pain in the ass three year old, but he is still a sweet kid. He sat in my arms during G's haircut just sitting there. He does have a cough, but still he was his usual self and I felt lucky to have a kid who would allow us to sit for a haircut for 20 minutes. He is a such a sunny happy kid. He gets a lot of attention and he eats it up.
the two of them are really great together. T loves G so much as misses her when she goes to school. The last two days he missed seeing her due to sleeping in. He cried b/c she wasn't around. G always gives him a hug and a kiss when she leaves. When he told her he used the potty she said " Great job buddy" and gave him a hug and high five. Sometimes G calls him a little bother instead of a little brother. I think it's the cutest thing and love that she made it up. She'll say she doesn't like hr brother, but deep down her actions usually speak much louder than words and she really does take care of him. The only time they get into it is over toys at times and if she has a friend over and wants to focus on her friend. T doesn't understand and gets sad. He wants to go wherever she goes.
I love them both so much. I feel like I fell back in love with G. She was so hard for so long and now I feel like we are in a good space. And Toby is just the sweetest child, I can't stop kissing him. sometimes I baby him more than I should. But I can't explain how much I love to snuggle and carry him. I love to snuggle with G too. Each night when I go to kiss her sleeping head I want to crawl into bed with her and just snuggle with her warm self and soft breathing. Last night Toby slept with me and I loved his warm feet on my belly.
Ok now I have to clean up. Take a shower and go inspect a bicycle that was left on the side of the road. It has not saddle. but it's a white mixte. If it looks like it might fit me I might drag it home and figure out if it is worth any time and money to fix up.
