Its been such a long time since I've written anything here...I'd like to get back in to blogging but I'm not going to promise anything yet.
Carrson starts school in 5 weeks! Just 5 more weeks will he get to be carefree and not have to worry about homework. He will be in school through college (I hope!) and then working after that so really until retirement! Yikes! He is really excited and because his birthday is in December he already knows sooo much. He can count to 100, reads and sounds out words, can spell and write his name and many other words, can do basic addition and subtraction, and now we are working on counting money. All of this he has shown interest in and so we just teach as he shows interest.
Paisley just turned 3 years old at the end of May and wow...I feel like I was just on here writing her birth story! She has grown so fast and is just a gorgeous beautiful little girl...but don't tell her that! She loves to hang with bubba and is obsessed with "being a boy" she doesn't want to wear skirts or dresses because she doesn't want anyone to tell her she looks pretty. She wants people to tell her she is handsome like bubba ;) She is our shy girl and wont even make eye contact with people she doesn't know or doesn't see often. Which also means she will not go to her class at sunday school haha! but thats ok because she is so quiet she just sits in the big church with us when we go and just writes or whatever she feels like doing quietly at the time.
Violet will turn 1 on 8.31.12, what a whirlwind of a year that was..transitioning to having 3 kids was no joke! I feel like it definitely took a little bit to feel like I wasnt drowning in laundry and chaos! not to mention I dealt with Postpartum Depression this time around and finally I feel like thats all under control! (thats a whole other post, lol) She started walking at 9 months old....she has been the earliest walker of the 3. She is definitely the one who has just flown through the milestones the fastest, just blows my mind! The only thing she wasnt in a hurry to do was get here...she was born at 42 weeks and that was my longest pregnancy of the 3...guess she is all about trumping all the records as far as the kids go...longest pregnancy, heaviest birth weight, quickest with all the milestones...ok, ok Violet we get it..YOU win!
As for me I'm studying to become a Natural Childbirth Educator through a program and series of classes called Birth Boot Camp www.birthbootcamp.com Its all about educating moms about natural childbirth and breastfeeding. Its something I've become so passionate about in the last 5 1/2 years and I'm excited to share it with the rest of the world! Literally anyone who will listen! When my kids are all in school I'd like to pursue Midwifery School and become a midwife...thats really my life long passion, as far back as I can remember I've always wanted to help mothers deliver babies...and thats transformed from wanting to be an OB/Gyn to wanting to be a midwife...much more my cup of tea.
hopefully I can get back to blogging regularly!
