Kaden and Teo Update

Kaden is now officialy in big girl panties. She has gone over a week with no accidents. She even slept through some naps dry. Poor Kaden had a stomach bug this weekend. Some how she knew how to throw up in the toilet and was able to tell me in enough time when she was going to be sick.

Teo is doing better. We went to see a Holistic Doctor and the homeopathic treatments are helping a lot. Right now his molars are coming in. It seems like they are taking for ever. Poor guys is cranky when the teeth are breaking the skin. So funny how each kids is different. With Kaden she never had issues with her teeth and with Teo every tooth has given him issues.

WW Update

Kaden was sick this weekend so I just went to weigh in on Saturday morning but did not stay for the maeeting. I have been sticking to the diet but did not feel like I was making progress during the week. I was surprised to hear you lost 4 pounds! I still did not get exercise in yet. I'm not sure why I'm struggling in this area. I hope to get motivated some how.

WW Update

Saturday mornings are the time I go to Weight Watchers because it is the only time it fits in my schedule. The meeting time is at 7:00am. I was woken up by work at 6:15 this morning and instead of laying back down like I wanted to I got up and got ready for WW. I lost 3 pounds! It is a start which is what I needed. I hope to have another good week. Hopefully this week I can manage to squeeze in some exercise.

Night Time "Nightmares"

Our bed time has had many ups and downs. Since the kids share a room we have found nighttime to be quite tricky.

Right now we are going through one of those hard times. We usually put Teo to bed first and 30 minutes or so later we put Kaden to bed. Kaden loves to talk to herself until she falls asleep and she is usually not quiet. Lately either Teo waits up for her to come to bed or she wakes him up. The night before last it took 2 hours for the kids to fall asleep. Part of that time they are talking to each other and the other part of the time they are usually crying. On top of these issues Teo is teething and has a double ear infection. Last night it took about an hour and I had to leave Teo screaming not crying for about 20 minutes before he finally calmed down.

I have tried everything I can think of. I give them books, I play music, nothing seems to work. Bedtime has gotten so hard that I dread that time of the day. If anyone has any suggestions I would love them.

Weight Watchers

Today I signed up for Weight Watchers. I hope to stay committed to this and work hard to get rid of the baby weight I am still carring around. If anyone has any good receipes that are WW friendly please send them my way. Also if you are looking for receiptes an old friend of mine, Brooke, has a blog with WW meal and snack ideas.
