I'm HOME!!

Well let's just say our SECOND trip to the beach was not so much fun. I think I was just SUPER tired and Emma and Tyler are so in need of getting back into a routine that they just were not functioning properly so the kids are I are at home and I am attempting to get them into some sort of routine again! We used to have such a lovely routine and it made the days go so much smoother and the transition back into that routine will probably be a little difficult but I GOTTA DO IT! So right now is the kids scheduled TV time so they are watching Sesame Street (my favorite) and coloring at the kitchen table (hopefully not ON the kitchen table). I can hear them through the monitor (yes I still use a monitor even though they are 2 and 4) and they are just so nice and quiet and they are not fighting. Emma is helping Tyler pick a color and Tyler is laughing at Oscar the grouch :). Ahhh...these are the moments I love! We are going full force into the potty training. We had a little accident this morning, but those are to be expected. Emma starts school September 4 so this morning we practiced writing her name and with just a LITTLE work she is already writing it much better. Tyler and I did shapes and colors flash cards. He is doing soooo good. He knows circle, triangle, diamond and square. He calls the rectangle a door and the oval an egg but that's close! His colors are going okay too. He knows blue and white and black, but he calls red, yellow and orange all ORANGE. I really think he just likes the way it sounds b/c he repeats "orange" over and over again. Brad is home this weekend so we are looking forward to some "daddy" time! I guess that's about it.
