14 month old and a three year old...




The kids are growing so fast...

Christian is into EVERYTHING. He loves to get into the bathroom drawers and tries everything out. He will put on my headbands. He tries to brush his hair. But his favorite thing is to get hold of the toothbrushes and toothpaste and he tries to brush his teeth. I don't know how many toothbrushes I have lost. One day I will find them all. Christian has a very competitive personality. He loves to race. Ready, Set and Go and he is off running. And he will keep going. Christian is only 14 months and he eats more then me. Cereal bar and fruit for breakfast, a McDonald's cheeseburger and green beans for lunch, puffs and more puffs for snack, two hot dogs with broccoli and yogurt for dinner, and finally a graham cracker before bed (not to mention the two cups of milk at night). Where does he put all this food....I can only imagine what the teenage years are going to be like.

Kayla is growing up to fast. She is no longer my little baby girl. Instead, she is a very independent person. She wants to go everything herself (this causes problems at times). I did find out this summer that she has no interest in t-ball. We attended two games and three practices. After having to beg and plead for her to stay in the game or keep practicing, I figured it was a was not worth the struggle to keep her on the team. Starting in September, we are going to see about swim team and gymnastics. I am so looking forward for school to begin. Hopefully our schedules will get back on track. When summer school ended a couple of weeks ago, Kayla decided that her bed time was at 11pm and not 9pm. This has been killing me. I tried her afternoon nap out hoping that she would fall asleep at 9pm. No luck. You would think that she would sleep in since she goes to bed so late. No...8am she wakes up ready to go. What happened to my child that would sleep from 9:30pm-9a.m and took a 2-3hour nap? Jon tells me it is the Schneider genes that kick in at night and keep her up.
