Settling


I'm enjoying settling into a new routine. So far I've only had 6 days by myself as a mom of 3. I've been accepting lots of help, for instance dictating into my phone that types my words for this post or using  meals from the freezer.

Maizie and I got to do homeschool for the first time in weeks today. She has been asking to do homeschool for days and days, each time we sit down for a lesson she is thrilled to be writing and learning something new. That has been fun for me as she is learning such simple things, like shapes, colors, numbers, letters, history, US States, animals, etc. I think some of this us too basic, so I need to come up with more detailed lessons.

Colton is a good little guy, he usually sleeps one 4hr shift during the night, which is great since the other two have been getting up before seven. He does prefer to sleep in my arms and gladly I oblige because I know these moments pass much too quickly. He joined us for school today!

Jackson has been irritable lately, my guess is that he us working on his two year molars. He is constantly my little helper and always looking to give kisses or bring Colton his blanket.

I'm so glad you are able to find a new "normal" with all three kiddos now! How fun to have a new routine, as crazy as it may get at times!

Poor Jackson, hope his teeth come in soon!

So glad you are back to blogging! (I know you have your hands full) I for one have missed you my friend. So happy that your little one has arrived and all of you are doing well. Hope Homeschooling goes wonderfully! I for one know how amazing it is to learn at your own pace at home. (I was homeschool K-12th grade!) Good for you!!

We're trying to get back into a routine too. SO much traveling lately I have felt my house is completely out of balance and my kids on no schedule! We got back to homeschooling too and are loving the felt boards you got the kids. What a great tool! I looked at some online and they were so expensive so you got a great deal!
I'm loving the dictation on the phone too. Makes things almost too easy!!! ha ha ha!
Now I'm off to kick your butt in WordFeud! ;)
