For the last two weeks we have all had our turn of being sick… now it is Khéna and Colin a bit… both seem to have a touch of Bronchitis. I used to deal with bronchitis myself a few times a year so I know the signs and sounds of it…  since both have it it is most likely viral so the only thing that we can do is let it pass…

Khéna has just been having a few rough days and night though, which of course means that we too have been having a few rough nights.

Besides being sick, I have been having a lot of rough times with Xavier in the last while. He has been emotional and has been tantruming at the drop of a pin… He always needs to be close to us, almost on us all of the time and I get to feel very touched out because of it and I get impatient which I do not like. I hope something clicks soon, because the constant confrontation is really wearing me out. Of course I can’t focus on the negative and I have to say that other things have changed with him… he has gained a big interest in letters and sounds and writing. He can write his name without a problem and will write other names by asking what letters to write. He also started to sound out words, though it hasn’t clicked completely how to link all of those those sounds together but it isn’t far away I think. He is also drawing a lot more and

The other boys, besides being sick,  are doing great and are such a joy to be around.

Colin is really understanding and very compassionate. He has his moments of course but it is really easy to reason with him. He makes us laugh constantly and is such a bundle of energy… I forget that is not even 3 1/2 at times though… his language skills are great and we can have really cool conversations with him…  He is amazing at puzzles and his imagination is so fun also… He has a Harry Potter figurine and loves to play out Harry Potter stories but doesn’t have the other characters so his hands become Hermione and Ron, his hands walk and talk and play out tons of adventures…

Khéna is also a little bundle of smiles and is really easygoing… He is walking full time now and can now stand up from sitting without assistance also which makes it so that he never crawls anymore. It is so fun to see another kids walking around the house. It makes his presence in the house different and makes us realize that we have another little boy in the house. He loves the gift we gave him at his birthday… He walks with it, put things in it, takes the sides off and sits in it and plays… or sometimes sits in it and gets pushed around the house by his big brothers… It was such a great gift that really I still have no clue what to give him for x-mas because there is not much else that he needs and he is too young to want anything… Another change is that he has gained a lot more interest in food and eats pretty much anything that we eat… it makes it weird that instead of preparing 4 plates at supper time I am now preparing 5…

So here we are… we have been having a few ups and downs…

so it is life as usual I guess…
