Breastfeeding has been quite a challenge and I'm praying for perseverance in this. I thought feeding Luke was tough, but Ben has upped the ante! Will see a lactation doctor on Friday to see if she can offer some help. While going to bottles isn't exactly the end of the world, I'm not ready to give up yet.
I've been working with Brie on getting her to ride a two-wheeler. It's fun to see how each day she gets a little better with her balance. Reese wanted to give it a shot, too, but wasn't sure about it once he realized it wasn't so easy. Probably for the best anyway since his bike is still on the bigger side.
Potty training for Luke is going well. Though I've lost count of how many pairs of undies he wets. Better than diapers though.
We're continuing our reading of the Middle Ages - started on a book of castles today. I wish we were in England and could take them to the castles we saw when we were there. I know they'd all have fun exploring the ruins and going up the narrow staircases. We're hoping to get to a local Medieval Faire this weekend or the next if the weather holds out.
Things I'm thanking God for tonight:
- Baby smiles and bouncy seats
- Brooms that double as guitars (a Lukie invention)
- Swim classes at the Y - Brie and Reese graduated to "advance eel"
- Rain that adds romance to the night
- the Internet which helps keep us connected
- Guacamole - I made some for the first time today
- reading books from the series' "The Pony Crazed Princess" and "The Unicorn's Secret" to Brianna
- A husband who gives me time to think and write while he tucks the kids into bed
- Discovering God through His Word and the words of others
