Life and things

We have somewhat settled into being a family of 6 (and yes, we count the dogs). Our routine is getting there, but it always seems that if one child sleeps like a rockstar the other is up all night or vice verse. Last night was actually one of our best nights yet, Little Miss only woke up once and so did my Monkey Pants. It was very nice and much needed as our past two nights have been a little rough. The joys of parenthood!

Sloan has definitely rounded out our family very well. She is so adorable and her big brother still dotes and loves on her. Even Elvis is taking some notice of her. Which brings me to the lost love between Elvis and Gavin. A few nights ago during dinner, Greg and I had a long talk with Gavin about his attitude toward Elvis. This is what we have found out, he does not like Elvis because Elvis is "Mommy's dog". And Crash is his dog. Hmm, I would say is this because of the baby? Is he lashing out at me through Elvis? But no, he has been mean to him for the last year pretty much! He then told us, "I want to sit by Elvis." With me replying, "Why? You don't like him." His response was, "But I like me." Makes no sense, but was hilarious when he told us this.

Tomorrow Gavin begins school (again). He is moving up to the older classroom - it will be interesting. He is so in awe (I would say love, but he better not love any other woman besides his Mama right now!) of his teacher that this transition will be very hard for him. I am hoping that he takes to his new teachers like he did Miss Stacy. He had just gotten to the point that he doesn't cry anymore when we drop him off. We will see how this turns out! I will keep you posted!
