Busy

Connor decided last week that he wanted a tent. So Dave put up his old tent for the boys to play in.

As you can see, they were pretty excited. They even played together some!

Connor got out his sleeping bag and insisted on "napping" in it most afternoons last week. It's down now so we can get back to "napping" in his room!

(The tv niche that is too big and too small all at the same time.) We spent a few hours at IKEA on Sat, with a million other people, trying to figure out what we wanted to go in here.

This is what we decided on...now we need a new tv because this looks bad. Evan has a bad habit of messing with the buttons on the tv and now it's even lower! Right this minute he is going through the drawers pulling everything out I put in there last night while he was asleep.

I've spent a lot of time in the last week researching MTHFR and trying to find successful studies and treatment protocols...not a lot out there. It was just discovered in 1995 and they just recently started to do "studies". There are a lot of people out there that say that a certain, very aggressive, treatment protocol for pregnancy works, but they aren't official studies so many doctors are not following it. I am anxious to meet with my hematologist next week and OB the next week to see where they stand. I know that the specialist acted like it was no big deal and yet also seemed to be convinced that it contributed to the loss. I am trying to read all I can so I can be knowledgeable when I go in and ask for a certain treatment.

Evan is saying lots more words these days. He spends much of his day following me around saying "MAMA" and "UP" which gets tiring. He puts all of his toys on his head and says "hat." He says "more" and "all done." One of his favorite games is still chase Sophie..which is pretty funny since she is so annoying. He says "dada" when he hears Dave coming, but still shies away from him most times. His other favorite games is still "make Connor cry" which he does pretty well. NO is another favorite word too!

Connor is hooked on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse which in turn makes Dave and I crazy because the silly songs get stuck in your head. He likes to sing the songs and when he plays you can hear him repeating things from the show...it is kind of cute.

On Wednesday we are going to look at new school for Connor. We had decided to keep him where he is and then I walked past the older 3 yr old class that was working on letter names/sounds. I know this is too easy for Connor so I talked with his current teacher. She said that she would recommend Connor go into the younger 3s class because she feels he would fit better with that teacher. We don't want him to get bored and turned off or start causing problems..since he's working on spelling works and reading them. (He's starting to have some issues already of wandering away or just doing his own thing.) So we are going to look at a Montessori school that may let him work at his own pace a little more...only problem is he has to be completely potty trained to go to this new school! We've got some work to do!
