So many different things are going down in my house these days. My girls are getting ready to start school and then I will only have two in the house. It's gonna feel like a vacation for me! So much to prepare for, so little time. Aliya I know will be great, but Zaynah I worry about. I wonder, sometimes, if I have prepared her enough for what she is about to do. She has always been my little home body, never really wanting to go anywhere. Always wanting to be with me or Nate. Aliya has always been footloose and fancy free from the moment she was born. I guess I need to just trust that she will make it on her own and that what I have taught her will see her through. I know it is only kindergarten, but still.
That leaves me with Joshua and Wyatt. We are in the middle of a crisis with Josh. He still needs Nate or me to lie down with him to fall asleep. Such a stinkin headache and more drama than I need. So the past few nights Nate has been telling him that he will be lying down alone to sleep, that he is a big boy and it is time for him to go to bed on his own. Well, Joshua, is not taking that very well. He tells us, " I am not a big boy, I a baby. I don't like to lay down by myself.". All my kids, with the exception of Josh, are great sleepers. I don't know what went wrong with him. He will learn, then it won't be so bad anymore.
Okay, for real this time, I am going to concentrate on loosing my baby weight from Wyatt. My best pal, Elisabeth, is giving me some tips and really encouraging me. She is a yoga instructor and mommy of 2. She is really an inspiration to me and it is good to know she is there for me. It's not too bad, I'm not really overweight, I could just stand to loose a few pounds. I really would like to be aware of my food intake and not be so in love with food that I just ignore the mounds of food on my plate. I seriously love to eat and I could throw down with BBQ or some really good Mexican food. I can still love all that, but moderation is key.
Well, I'm watching the Olympics so I am going to end this. This has been really exciting, a lot of nail biting moments.
Good night all!!

We had that same problem with Avery with the sleeping and it was a big pain. We finally did get her to start going to sleep without us there but it was a fight!

P.S. Don't forget to pass on those weight loss tips!
you are going to loss all the weight you desire. You did it once so I know you can do it again. Once the kids are all on a scudule things will come easier. I still have to sit with ash to get her to sleep. She is getting better but it is taking some time. I made rewards for the kids. She gets to go to libby lous when she has it nailed down. She is almost there. Maybe if you bought him something he really wants and you keep it up where he can see it but can't reach it and he new that was what he was working towards he would be more receptive of the idea?????? I don't know just a thought.
That's a possible idea!! It may work.
