What's been happening lately...since the last blog, we thought we were all done being sick, but I think I was more sick of the sickness than it was sick of me (and my family). Colds, flus and allergies, never ceasing. I know, that's all a part of life, but it seems like it's hit us especially hard this year (especially Christian). I think we're seeing the beginning of a healthful season. Allergies are preferable to cleaning up vomit and visits to the ER.
Christian's approaching his sweet sixteen ironically with a sour outlook. I know his diabetes gets him down and it's compounded by general teenage angst. Or vice versa. There's still a lot of nagging. Sometimes there's notable improvement, but not long after, being followed by backsliding. The negative stuff is really kind of minor and very typical, but when you want everything for your kid, you don't want them to get hung up on the little BS stuff. He's a smart kid and deep down, he's a good kid. I just want him to enjoy high school more than I did. And I want him to have an easy transition into adulthood.
Madeline's officially registered for kindergarten. She has her assessment in the beginning of May. I have mixed feelings about her starting. I'm excited to see her in another phase of her childhood, but like her daddy, I will mourn the loss of her dependency. I will be going back to work after a long stay-at-home "vacation", as Christian calls it. Time to put the Bon Bons away and start earning a decent living.
Since Christmas, we've had a lot of birthday madness and general madness, which I will share with you in the form of a pictorial:
Until we meet again, Blogger.
I love you SMUCH!
