The kids have a new pet! One of my friends who owns a Boutique had a fish tank with fish. One day, Gavin and I were in shopping and Gavin would not leave the fish tank. He was calling the fish, "AUDI AUDI!" it was quite entertaining. Drew informed me that we could have it because he was renovating his store. The kids love having the fish. The fish follows Olivia's finger. It's funny.
We are having some issues with Olivia in school. It seems she is having trouble staying focused on her work. When it comes to the state testing, she tests well above average. Her grades are terrible right now. I went in and had a talk with the principal and she basicly wants me to look into having Olivia medicated with ADD meds. This has me even more concerned because I don't believe in medicating my child. She is 6 years old. I wrote a blog about it on facebook so I'm not going to get into it over here. I am setting aside time for her at home where we are going to be working on assignments even if she doesn't have homework. I want her to succeed and I want her to know that when she gets bad grades, she doesn't get to have fun. She missed out on her Daisy troop swim rally this past weekend. She was very upset but she knows I'm not messing around.
The boys are doing well. Gavin needs some kind of social interaction with other kids. He's a pistol and wears us out. I'm having him tested for preschool for Fall. Hopefully, he will be potty trained by then. He has NO interest in going on the potty. I'm not saying he doesn't get it. He just doesn't want to do it. I'm not forcing him to do it. When he's ready, he will get it just fine. I keep telling him that when he goes on the big toilet, he can go to school. He had such a fun time at Channing's christmas party in the classroom that he now asks, "I go to school, too"? I have also taken him to the store to pick out his own underwear. He was excited about that but after he's had them on, he'll go in the toilet but then still go in the underwear.
work is going well for me. Sunday brunches are where I make the most money. I was hoping to only work a few of the Sundays so that I could start going back to church but knowing that's the only day of the week where I make excellent money, it's hard. Especially when we need the money.
I've started my work out sessions. I have the Reebok easy tone gear and I'm loving it. So far, I'm down 5lbs. I am hoping to lose a total of 30 lbs by summer! Wish me luck. Have a blessed day.
