Now that we are settled into the rental house, it feels as though we are resuming our routines and weekly schedules, which feels good. Sully is nearing the end of his speech therapy as his third birthday approaches and I seriously cant believe I just typed that. Greta turned 18 months yesterday and she is crazy, in every sense of the word.
Sully's current obsessions are robots, basketball, and soccer. It is so fun to watch him turn into a big boy, and to see him gaining confidence in himself. Dave and I are so proud of him. We are still battling the sleep issues, but it has improved, slightly. And by slightly, I mean that one of us lays with him until he falls asleep, which, on a good night, is 15 minutes. But on a bad night, it can be more than an hour. It can be exhausting after a long day with the kids, but we are both holding out hope that when we get back to the house things will get better.
Greta is wild. She loves to do dishes, or anything involving running water and she loves to be outside, that is usually her first request upon waking each morning "outside, outside!'. She is so sweet and smiley and pretty easy going. She is gaining a bit of independence, which is adorable. Her cozy blanket has turned into her favorite thing, right behind me and then Dave. She loves her cozy and will run up to her pack and play squeal at it until she gets it. She is able to follow rules and directions, and is the cutest little thing.
Construction is underway. We had a 7 day delay waiting on sheet rockers which was so painful. I knew that every day we were delayed meant we would be delayed moving home, which is the most painful thing. The rental is going fine, it just lacks outdoor space and the homey feeling. I will be so thankful to be home which we are hoping takes place in 5 weeks from this weekend, but that could easily be 6 weeks after this last delay. We get daily calls from our builder with 5-10 questions in each call. So, it feels like things are moving. The addition and basement are being framed, sheet rock is going up on the second floor and in the attic, and kitchen/bathroom cabinets finally went into
production. Tick tock! (I'm 15 weeks pregnant this week :))
