Nothing like going back in time to when you were a little baby and Mommy gave you a bath in the kitchen sink. Mara and Daddy were having fun running around the house and Don plopped her into the sink on the island. She was so happy in there and refused for us to take her out. She looks so big here. We just put here in to her big girl bed and she is doing really good in it. She did realize that she could get out all on her own and when she is done her naps she just opens her door and says, "Mommy, I'm up now and had a good sleep, but it's all done now" I just hope she keeps her routine of taking a nap every day because I really need her to still take a nap when the baby comes so that I can catch up and take my nap too. Connor can pretty much keep himself occupied with out me, but Mara she still needs all the one on one attention all the time. I did take a lot of new pictures of the kids rooms, but we are still waiting for Connor's mattress to be delivered because the one they sent had a tear in it so as soon as that comes this Thursday I will post all the new pictures of their rooms. We also have the living room all prepped and ready to go for the paint but just haven't had the chance to actually get the paint on the walls yet. Don has been on call the last two weekends we have been here so hopefully with Uncle Andy around this weekend we will have a little extra time to maybe get most of it done. We will see, we definitely know we aren't going any where any time soon and neither are the walls so no need to rush it along. We are just all enjoying our space and the new house. I still feel like I am living in somebody else's house, but hopefully soon it will all feel like "Home" and I will forget that this used to be someone elses "Home". I think the painting will make a huge difference. Stas is going to put hard wood floors in the baby's room for us sometime in October and we will get that room ready to go for #3, That baby that we still haven't taken one single belly shot of yet and I only have 9 weeks to go, I really better get on the move. There goes that time again just flying by before I can even blink my eyes. Connor starts his first week of Preschool next week and we just went tonight to show him the school where he will be going. I know he is excited for school to start and I must say I think I am really excited too. He has been having a little trouble with battling his frustrations and I am hoping that a structure school day and some changes will help him out. I don't know if he is getting bored or just very impatient, but I really think that a structured school week will make a big difference, at least we hope so, because the time outs don't seem to help anymore.We even took away outside playing which he loves so much and he went on a tangent again tonight even after punishment. He just starts screaming and crying, stamping the floor and then starts throwing things, so it really gets to a point where he is totally out of control and sometimes I feel lost and don't know what else to do besides taking away things, but like I said it doesn't seem to even phase him. Any Suggestions?
