Life moves too quickly!

I actually forgot I had a blog until I saw my facebook page and saw the link. Our lives got busy during the fall with lots of fun activities so by the end of the day I didnt have time to blog. I suppose spending my evenings doing BSF instead of blogging is probably much more beneficial in the long run. I do enjoy it too! Also, lack of sleep from Caleb screaming a whole lot in the night and a whole lot during the day makes a tired mama who doesnt even feel like writing anything. On that note Caleb was scheduled for a sleep study but it isnt until Feb which for 2 very tired parents seems like an eternity away! So we are seeing an ENT to see if she thinks it is indeed sleep apnea without needing the sleep study to prove it. With the family history it certainly wouldnt be surprising. On one hand we hope it is sleep apnea because we know it is curable with surgery. On the other hand the surgery is a rough one! But in the end we are always glad we went through with it. Sleep is so precious to us!
Caleb finally started walking two weeks ago. To be honest I didnt think he would ever figure it out! But he did and that has made him a bit happier and less needy. He has had 2 sinus infections in one months time and a 3 week stint of diarrhea. He is constantly climbing anything he can and pretending to talk on the phone saying, "hi hi!" He loves to wrestle already and I must say he is vicious! We actually run from him! He always win!
Bekah and Ryan are getting more and more independent. As a matter of fact I was begging them to play with me yesterday! I was bored and tired of doing nothing important however they informed me that they would rather play church and school together instead of playing with me. So sad! But dont worry Caleb kept me busy getting into constant trouble! My goal is to keep him alive. Nothing more will ever be accomplished Im sure!
Bekah is turning 3 in 2 weeks! Im more shocked that it means Ryan will be 4 1/2! No way! But dont worry it is also a relief that they are indeed growing up some. I will say that Im dreading having a 3 year old in my house again. I didnt enjoy that age with Ryan and I can already see some of the challenges from then starting with Bekah. The screaming tantrums for 30 min at a time have begun and I dont see them ending soon. However, I do handle them better now since Im not so shocked to see these battles. Im hoping since Bekah was a little more difficult at 2 than Ryan that she will be a little bit easier at 3. Who knows but Im sure it will be a fun year anyway! We of course are having another Dora party (the same as her 2nd bday) to my disapointment, but I guess it isnt my birthday!
Ryan has completely made it to her age level in speech. They are continuing to work with her on Kindergarten speech since she is already enrolled. She told me today that she is so happy that people understand her now when she talks. Im so happy for her! Bekah is making many of the same mistakes Ryan did at 3, but we have not decided if we will have her evaluated now that I know how to work with them. But I like the fact that it is free and having someone else help out. I will decide in January.
Well since Ive written about nothing important and my son is on the kitchen table eating markers I better get away from here! I will write again soon!
