Jacob had his very first official sleep-over on Friday night. He stayed over at his friend from the dayhome's house. Jake and this little boy have known each other forever - seriously from the time they were 6 weeks old! Jake went over for supper, had a sleep-over, had breakfast the next morning and then Keith went and picked him up. The two boys apparently had a very good time, got on quite well and even managed to get some** sleep. I guess they didn't fall asleep until after 11 and then were up again at 7! I was very pleased to hear that Jake used his manners and was a well-behaved child. You never know how they are going to act away from you, and I was so pleased with Jacob's behavior, it really makes me very proud of him!

So I have added a poll to the left hand side of my blog page. There are 9 names (I think) to choose from, plus, there is a spot for you to add your own suggestions. We are looking at names that work with a middle name of HEATHER, GAIL, TRACY, ANN (or anna) or JENNIFER. I don't have my heart set on any one of the middle names in particular, so be creative!

Valentine's Day was fun! The dayhome kids and I did some face painting, finished our crafts for mommy and daddy, had some little treats, and then I sent them on their way with a special Valentine's gift from me and Jacob. Almost all the kids traded cards, it was fun! Keith surprised me and the boys with little sweet-nothings!! My sweet tooth was appeased with yummy candies, and as a lover of candy - I say MMMMM-mmmm!!!!

Downstairs this morning, after all the kids had arrived, and Jacob and Kolby had been given breakfast, I thought I would work with the 3 and 4 year olds on their recognition of BIG and little letters. We are all playing around and laughing, and I hear a laughing from the kitchen. Me and the kids look at each other, and sneak into the kitchen to see what this giggling is. Low and behold, apparently Kolby decided he hadn't had enough breakfast! He helped himself to some Cheerios!!



He has a mitt full of cheerios, and is perfectly happy sitting there eating away! Note to self** get clips for corner cupboards, AND feed Kolby more breakfast!

As we get closer to the impending delivery and arrival of our newest little 'un, I have faced some "truths" that I have not previously considered. Maybe it's preggo-brain-uber-hormone driven! There WILL be 3 children for whom I will be responsible for. It's not that there will be 3 kids, it's that there will be 2 babies and one "big" boy. I am feeling guilty that Kolby will not get "his" baby time with Keith and myself, and also feeling guilty that Jacob will not be part of that baby clique. Jake is excited for another baby, he did so well when Kolby came, I only hope that I haven't worn out Jake's welcome of new babies.
I must make time for Jake - without the babies, I know that. I only hope, for Jake's sake, that I can do it enough.
Likewise, I must give Kolby baby time - without Jacob and the new babe.
And then, I must give baby time - without the bigger siblings!
Having said that, where in the world do I fit in time for Keith? Nevermind, I do need to shower every once in a while !

Uh-Oh, here comes a big wave of guilt again...


Hmm?! Amazingly enough, I am already starting to feel better. Yep chalk it up to hormone driven craziness!


So let's move on to more "sane" topics! We are stumped for a girls name. Thought we had a few, turns out we don't really LOVE any of them. Ideas are now being accepted, credit will be given to whomever suggests the name we use!!!! No cash reward or anything... just a severe satisfaction in knowing that you were responsible for the naming of our child!! Unless it's a boy, then you are out of luck - we already have a name!!!

Oh yeah, and don't forget to put in your best guess in the baby pool
