Mom left last week. Danny has been a big help getting Geoffrey up in the morning (considering Geoff sleeps about 8 hours at night, if we don't go to bed right when he does, we're tired.)
Katelyn is doing well at home with Grant and Geoffrey and Danny. She has good mornings, but it does seem like she is mostly sleeping or fussing. She will be awake and happy for short periods but then she usually starts fussing. She drinks small amounts at a time, but is getting better about drinking from a bottle. The general vibe though is that she drinks enough to be comfortable until Mommy comes home to feed her. My friend Julie gave me a "Nap Nanny," which is like a foam bed that has an incline - sort of like a car seat but not as inclined. It is nice because it keeps Katelyn more upright while she sleeps, but she doesn't slide down like she does in her crib on the wedge. Out of the last 8 nights, she has slept from 10:30 - 7:00 five times!
Geoffrey has been a pretty good, too. He can be very helpful and really seems to love katelyn. Sometimes he will gently push her in her swing and sing to her. We were at Sizzler today for Andy's birthday and Katelyn was awake in her chair, and Geoffrey held her hand and just started talking to her. He is doing well in preschool. We also registered him for preschool for next year - we decided on Hilltop Preschool. I really feel that this is a good choice for him and I am excited. it seems like a very creative atmosphere, and it is a play-based program that I was hoping to find. He has been better about picking up his toys (at times).
We "finished" the play room. Grant and Bobby painted it and we cleaned out all unnecessary furniture. It is really nice to have a place to keep the majority of his toys.
As for me, my mood is variable. SOme days I feel like I have a really god handle on things. At other times, I feel overwhelmed and emotional. Here I am, with my family. My two little kids. I love them so much...
