Kid Updates
Christian started walking Jan 15th and is now mastering the stairs as of today. I am always leary to let my kids learn the stairs since Jayden had a hairline fracture in her cervical vertebrae and was unconscious for a moment after falling down 3 carpeted stairs on her 1st birthday. Christian continues to scream and is very irritable. Anyone who is around us knows how terrible this noise is. If anyone has any suggestions for us we are willing to try whatever. We also cannot vaccuum without Mr Scream riding the vaccum. At least the vaccuum sound drowns out the scream.
Kate is loving Signing Times videos. They were supposed to be for Christian to learn to better communicate but Kate has really taken a liking to them and often times plays deaf and wants us only to sign to us. That's fine - the quiet game works great on my end. She loves to sing Primary songs for church and loves her Viewmaster. She says she loves everyone as I am sitting here typing about her. She is extremely tall.
Jayden continues to love WTTC and her tumbling. Big meets coming up and her nerves are starting to set in. I think she is finally realizing what she is doing. Congrats, Jay! on getting student of the month this month. We are so proud of you and your willingness to always keep learning.
Jared is 10 going on 16 as the picture shows. He is a very smart boy and gets bored in school. He has recently discovered street hockey and plays it many hours at a time in our garage or street. He doesn't like me to take his picture as this picture shows. He longs to play hockey but I just can't let him unless he promises me that he will keep all of teeth and never initiate a fight. Hmmm! Just doesn't seem to be what hockey is about these days.
I am back at the hospital and happy about it. Being gone has given me a good check of what kind of a nurse I want to be and what kind of care I want to give. Everyone is glad to see me back and I have easily gotten right back into the groove without too much trouble.
Can't wait to get my piano. Soon. Until another blog entry - see ya.
