I know, I am sad too that I havent been posting things on here recently. So much has happened. We have tons of pictures on our camera but for some reason the memory card drive (?) on our computer will not register that there is a memory card in it therefore no pictures are getting off the camera onto the computer. So UGH. I am very frustrated about the whole thing. I am sure it has something to do with our computer crashing a few weeks ago. Thank goodness we were able to recover all our pictures that were previously on the computer!!
But in the mean time, I guess I will tell stories but without pictures!
Lately, and by lately I mean the past 3 months, Stevie says his own prayers. He will bless the food, (no matter if we are going to be eating or not!) then go through all that are at the house at the time. He will intentionally forget to say his own name though. Then he will bless things he thinks of like the computer, his fingers, a game he enjoys playing, a movie he watched. Then he ends it by saying amen. Then he stops, acts surprised and says, "bless Stevie!?" Then will begin another prayer just to bless himself then close again. EVERY TIME. Its really funny. He will even do it if he blesses himself the first time.
Adalyn Loves to tackle Stevie. She is only 10.5 months, but she can hold her own!! Takes after her mommy!! If Stevie even thinks of laying on the floor she is on him like a hawk on a mouse! And thankfully, Stevie is such a good sport about it and lets her do it. He will even join in on getting her, and is usually pretty gentle about it. They are seriously the best brother and sister ever.
Stevie loves the computer. He has his own file where his games are, like Legos.com He loves to do puzzles, matching, anything! I am very impressed on what he has learned on some of the programs. He can even be better at matching than me. And he's only 2.5! I think this is how he learned how to count to 10 and some of his ABC's too. The downside to this is, all he wants to do is play on the computer. So, Ive had to create a behavior/ chore chart, so when he accomplishes 4 things he can get 30 min. computer time. Then if he gets 4 X's for bad behavior, then he gets no computer for the rest of the day. (I will post a picture as soon as I get it on the computer!) So far it has been working pretty well! And he helps clean and put silverware away!!
I am in the process of turning half the playroom into a craft room!! I am so excited for this! I am turning an old bookcase into a desk. I will we taking it apart and putting pieces back together. All by scratch!! I was just sitting around and thought of the idea. I hope it turns out! Then will use some of the left over wood for shelves! I have recently gotten a sewing machine and am in the process of stocking fabric and other necessities! Cant wait to get it all organized. I will also be making a net to hang all the stuffed animals in. I have so many ideas of things to make!!
Thats about it for now! Life is going pretty well. Tim and I have such a wonderful little family!
