Ezra is napping and Oren has locked himself in his room which is fine with me.
Have a few moments of peace so decided to post.
Lets see... what has been going on.
Zoe keeps getting in trouble at school. Nothing major thankfully. Just little moments of not listening to her teachers or doing what she should be. Again... it's nothing major, but she still has to learn that there are consequences.
I really hate being mean to my kids. Mean isn't the right word to use, but it sure feels that way when I have to discipline.
I wish I could be a fun happy go lucky parent that never tells my kids no and all that shit, but nope.... just nope.
Oren is doing well. He had his 3y checkup yesterday finally and he's growing on his own curve. Still a little shorty but that's ok. It's why we signed him up for gymnastics lol.
We had to switch his and Zoe's classes from Thursday to Mondays. There weren't any 3yo classes on Thursdays and Zoe will eventually be moving to the 6yo class. We also signed up Ezra for the baby classes on Thursday. He's going to love it.
He ALWAYS wants to go in to the room whenever the other 2 go in to their classes. I'm just glad he'll get to experience it now.
No idea how he'll do though b/c he is stubborn as all shit.
Back to Oren though....
He's getting better at controlling his crying. Before he would cry and cry and cry, but now... he realizes that he doesn't have to carry on that much to get his feelings across.
Still haven't started potty training him. Just keep asking him if he wants to use the potty and it's always.. No..... lol He'll get there eventually.
Oh he did love his new gymnastics class though. It's his first one where he gets to go in alone instead of with DH. Looked like there were 2 other small kids his age in the class and they were SO darn cute going in to the big gym area together with their little train and then happily jumping on the trampoline.
His instructor said that once he's older, that we could sign him up for the boy's class which is 2 days a week. I dunno if we can afford it all though. Gotta see what the kids want first, but for now, they love it.
Ezra is doing well. He's a hitter and thrower/swiper though. SO frickin annoying.
I know I didn't help the situation when it first started, but I am definitely trying my best to get him to stop doing it now. Doesn't help that the other 2 hit back when he hits them. I guess it teaches him that they're not going to take it though.
He is very independent. He like being held, but definitely not a snuggler like Oren is.
Can't believe he's going to be 2 in just a few more months. Insane how fast time flies.
DH and I are doing ok. We moved the elliptical machine in to the living room and neither of us have used it yet lol. I will.. I'm just being super lazy.
DH's grandfather isn't doing well at all. Doctors told him he only has a few months left to live.
I think everyone was expecting it and they're not really acting totally different, but they're all going to be devastated when it happens.
Honestly.... now this is going to sound terrible.....
I'm kind of relieved for MiL.
Since he had a stroke, she's been his main caregiver. 2 siblings live on the same land, yet she is the main one that has to take care of him bc well.. they live in the same house and she doesn't work.
She WAS watching Zoe's cousin too until she started school.
That doesn't sound bad, until you add in the emotional/verbal abuse. We always have to hear from her about how he just constantly belittles her and does not appreciate anything she does for him.
MiL has her flaws.. like we all do, but she has the biggest heart and does her best for him and IMO once he is gone... she's finally going to be able to relax again. Finally able to go and do what she wants instead of being stuck home b/c she has to look after him all the time or afraid to leave the house for too long b/c he might fall or something. And the asshole abusive comments will be gone forever.
I get that DH's grandfather is depressed. He has been ever since he had his stroke, but him taking it out on her is really messed up and not fair to her.
Anyway... need to go check on Oren and I'm sure Ezra will be waking up soon.
