Making progress on getting rid of the nuks!

I have learned over the past week that the kids only "need" their nuks when they are with Pat and/or I! They don't use them at all during the week while we are at work. On Saturday they spent the day with my in-laws and didn't use the nuks all day...not even for nap. the minute I got there to pick them up they started whining and asking for their nuks!

so yesterday we didn't give them their nuks all day until bedtime. both kids had a few meltdowns and tantrums when I told them their nuks were only for bedtime. I am hoping within a week we can get rid of them for good. I am tired of looking for them when they misplace them!

Potty training is still going really well for Abby and Gavin will occasionally go on the potty. I think he will be a little bit yet!

Gavin started Tumble Tots at the Y last Thursday...he loves it and it allows him to run off some energy! Abby still loves dance class and likes to show off the things she has learned!

Is Summer ever coming?

Well we are into Week 2 of the kids being home for the summer and not at daycare! So far it is going really well. Gavin gets to sleep in and I get extra time to get ready for work and have actually been on time most days! that is a big change!

Abby just finished up her Spring dance class. She loves it and has actually learned some stuff! After watching her on her tippy toes I am confident we got her in the right class! she curls her toes under and then walks on them...my camera needs to be charged but once it is charged i will add a picture! She is also doing really well potty training! but when she doesn't make it to the bathroom she cries "I didn't make it" as she pees all over the floor wherever she is standing. it is actually quite comical!

Gavin is definitely all boy! He is very into wrestling, climbing, hitting and biting right now! We are working on controlling these behaviors but Abby gets most of it directed at her! I am looking for something to get Gavin in since Abby has dance and Pat doesn't really want him in that! Hopefully we can find something at the Y for a boy not quite 3.

Back to work!

I am finally back to work!! I got approval from my doctor around 10:30 yesterday!! I am still typing with one hand so am pretty slow getting things done but it beats sitting home!

Abby had her first dance class last night. She did great and had lots of fun. At the beginning of class she didn't want to go in and started crying saying she needed Gavin...I guess maybe we need to split them up once in awhile!

While Abby was at class Pat took Gavin by the river to see the ducks and geese. He thought that was great!

What's new with the Kennedy's

Last Wednesday I had a ganglion cyst removed from my left wrist. I thought I would be back to work on Friday but my doctor has me off until May 19th. I am trying to get him to release me early but so far no luck. I should be making good use of my time off and be studying for the CPA exam but I always seem to find better things to do!!

Abby has a follow up appointment on Friday for her ear infection. She has been on 2 antibiotics and it still isn't completely cleared up...hopefully soon!

Gavin went to the allergist and they didn't anything he is allergic to but he did have a slight reaction to cats and since we have 2 cats we have to keep an eye on him! So I guess all his health problems are related to his tonsils/adenoids.

Abby starts dance class tonight...I hope she has fun. I am still looking for an event for Gavin to do!
