Easter Fun

The boys had fun dying eggs for Easter, Collin did not get it though and broke a few eggs. He also kept saying that there's a baby chick in the egg, I felt really bad! Trying to get a 2 year old to understand that there are not baby chicks in the eggs was hard to do. I also had a hard time explaining to Aidan what Easter is about, we read an Easter story and in it said Jesus can even bring people back to life, he wanted to pray to Jesus that we bring back my Grandmas, so it got even more complicated during my explanation. His brain is always thinking of something!

Birthday Pictures

Happy 1st Birthday Dominic!

Dominic is 1 today!! We're having family over to celebrate tomorrow night. For his low fat diet I'm making Angel food cup cakes with fat free whip cream topping. Today he's running around causing trouble with his brothers, they keep leaving the bathroom door open and he keeps getting in the toilette, disgusting! He also running around saying
"Da Da" another Daddy's boy!

Dominic's first haircut

Well Dominic had his first hair cut a little early. Aidan decided to cut it when I was trying to clean the house, he climbed of coarse up to the top shelf and got their kid craft scissors and when I asked him what he did he said "Mom, I just took a little off the top". Wonderful. Aidan has a history with cutting hair, he's cut Collins a few times. So much for cleaning, I can't be in another room for more than a minute before they get into something!

Aidan begins to read

Aidan recently started to read a little, I've been working with him on letter sounds and recognition for a while now and he just started putting the letters together sounding out the words. We are very excited that he's already starting to read! I bought some BOB books for him and he loves them! It's amazing to watch these little minds at work!

Update

Sorry it's been a while since I've put anything up. After the hospital stay and chaos we've just been trying to get back to normal. The hospital was really a reality shock for us, we didn't have a good plan for Aidan & Collin, they had a very hard time with being moved around. We are starting to think about how we should do this when the kids are in school and Dominic is in the Hospital for an illness. It's not going to be easy trying to get them to and from school and I'll have to be with Dominic at the Hospital. I know we have some time to think about it all, it was a lot harder on us than we thought though.
The stinkers are doing pretty well, we've been getting out a lot more, I'm finding if I get them out to the park or just get them out somewhere they are a lot better the rest of the afternoon, I guess didn't know kids get stir crazy too. I'm having trouble with gaining their respect again, this happens every so often that they just stop listening to me. Ever since I had Dominic and have to spend so much time with his frequent feedings/pumping and charting his diet I couldn't always stop them after I told them to stop doing something they were not supposed to do, of coarse they realized that Mommy wasn't going to come stop them from what ever they were doing but only tell them not to do it so they just keep on. I'm trying to get back on top of that! The ages they are at right now are not easy at all!! I don't want them to grow up fast but have happy thoughts of what it will be like in just a few years when we are past this crazy time.
I've found out through an MRI that I may not have fibromyalgia but I do have bulging discs in my neck instead causing much of the pain, we can work through chiropractic and pain management doctors to try to help the problem and hopefully I'll start feeling much better soon. If we get them under control then I guess I'll know for sure if I do have the fibro or not, there is no set test on whether you have it or not so it's very hard to diagnose, I'm really hoping it's not what is wrong.
Nothing else really going on here, just trying to get through each day as it comes the best we can. I'll try to update more, I have lots of pictures of the boys to post soon :)
