At five weeks old, Chandler is a welcomed edition to our family. We are working out a few bumps. Like, Colton needing extra attention and Caleb wanting more independence. Caleb is a great big brother that likes to quickly pick up Chandler, one hand under is rump the other hand around his head. Zooming him around the house calling him super baby. While Colton has decided, just this morning, that he is going to start paying attention to Chandler.
Colton was laying in the big bed with me and Chandler, watching cartoons. He leaned over Chandler, who was sitting in his Boppy, took his hand, and said "Good Morning" while googling in his face. (FYI-Googling means making funny faces and noises while right in front of someone)
I wasn't sure how Colton was going to adjust to a new baby. Now that he is the middle child, I realize he has always acted like the middle child. Always wanting to be right next to me and bothering his big brother to the point of annoyance show the middle child syndrome.
Chandler is a good baby but just as demanding as the other boys were. Right now he is fussing and whining about needing to "nurse" for the 20th time today. (Small exaggeration but almost true)
Often fussy in the evenings and almost refusing the "binky," Chandler gets to wear cloth diapers, only wearing disposables when the cloth seems too inconvenient. I am mastering the art of washing cloth diapers and have had some ups and downs with them.
Colton's birthday is coming up on Sep. 6th and we will be having a small party at the park if the weather allows for it. This also means that Colton's birthday falls after the cut off date for Pre-school so we get to spend one more year together before he has to go to school. This is a good thing mostly because Colton has been interesting in retaining his alphabet until recently.
3rd grade is beckoning Caleb in 2 weeks and I am excited to see what new things he leans this year. I am already surprised at what he has previously learned and I pray is teacher is as good this year as was his last. Mrs. T from 2nd grade spent time helping Caleb learn to read and find the value in it. Caleb's excellence at math often makes him only want to learn more in the subject.
I am almost revealed of my duties with the local Farmers Market. A few more weeks and the volunteer position will be someone elses to deal with next year. Young Life and working on my degree to become a Pro. Medical Transcriptionist are my only commitments thus far for the rest of the year.
I hope it stays that way.
