Not too much. House is a mess, but I'll be remedying that soon.
We've had some busy evenings as of late, and I've been going into James' classroom each morning to help curb his behavior, so my normal clean-up the house routine has been a bit off schedule. And no, for those of you who read the entry about James the other day, my being in the classroom doesn't really help - only gives Mrs. Galler a little bit of respite and a chance to get control of the class, before James does. She still just absolutely loves him, which is a really good thing; however, the look on her face at the end of the day, mirrors the look I so often wear now: total, emotional exhaustion.
Joseph's mood has been pretty stable as of late. Some torturing of the siblings, but not too bad (well, except Tuesday. Every one was bad on Tuesday). His meds sure do make him sleepy though, and he will fall asleep really fast at night. He also sleeps through the weekend. He often will take a good 4 hour nap on both Saturday and Sunday afternoon. It's like his body is making up for the fact that he can't sleep at school. In the picture above, he didn't quite make it to his room, but crashed on the stairs instead.
Rebekah decided to wear her hair down this week (by the way, it's really long) and straightened it. It looked beautiful like that, and she got so many comments from people, who never see her hair down. However, yesterday when it came time to wash it and braid it, I had a four hour job. We finished it though as we watched
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (who is
so dreamy according to someone in the family). And, as always, she looks beautiful!
Jalen Andrew just got in two more teeth, the two top first molars. He also had his first taste of jealousy this week. I had the opportunity to watch my friend Kate's kids for a couple of days this week, as she practiced the piano for the RS Enrichment program. Landon, who is 16 months old, got quite attached to me. The first day Jalen Andrew was okay with it, but after that, he clammered for me whenever he saw me with Landon. During our rehearsal on Wednesday, I was laughing because I went to help Abby Holt with the kids in the nursery - Jalen Andrew 12 months, Landon 16 months, Izac 4 years old, and Canyon who is younger than Jalen. I was feeding Canyon his bottle, which made Landon jealous, so I held him too which made Jalen Andrew jealous. So there I sat on the floor, 3 babies on my lap. It was crazy!
Christine has no news to report, but has again stolen my camera and used it to take some really great pictures. The top picture of the boys is her work, and so are the following: P.S. Christine, why don't you buy your own camera?
Her pictures are better than mine were when I was young. I use to take pictures of my Barbie dolls, and try to make them look like they were real people. What a strange kid I was!
