Six weeks ago today we became a family of 4, Jon and I became parents to 2 kids instead of 1 and we started on a new turn in this adventure of parenting. Tomorrow we start another. Juliet will start preschool and Nate will start attending school too. I am unprepared for this. I am not ready to go back to work and leave him with someone else. Right now my mind is racing with what-if's and stresses, so I have had to stop, pray and restart a few times tonight. (Nathan told us in church today that is how we are supposed to handle the stresses and uncertainties in our lives. God is in charge of everything and I have to remember that.)
Updates on the kids:
Juliet will stay in the preschool class for the school year. She loves art and will have more of a structured day. They will introduce spanish, technology, and we will have homework (reviewing what they learn) and they will start reading, writing and math. Juliet played peekaboo with the baby monitor on Saturday morning. She will turn it on and say peekaboo, I see those eyes. Just about the cutest thing I have ever seen.
She is such the helper but so rough. We have to watch her constantly. I have also signed her up for Awana's at church. Every week she will have a bible verse to learn and recite.
Nate has found ceiling fans. They fascinate him, he will sit and stare at one for a long time. He has a very laid back personality. He only gets mad when he is hungry or you change his diaper. He weighs 8.8 lbs and he is starting to look like a little chunky monkey. We started rice cereal at night and are going to put him in his bed because he is a noisy little boy and mommy doesn't get any sleep. He has what is called a normal (innocent) heart murmur. Dr thinks it should be gone by next visit. Please keep him in your prayers.
Wish us all luck as we start back to the real world, should be fun!
Love, Laura
