Will- He needs the sleep, but.... he LOVES to procrastinate. The things he will hate me for when he gets older... "MOOOOMMMM, I gotta poop!" "MOOOOOM, I need to pee." "MOOOOOOOOOM, I want Daddy." "DAAAAAAAD?" "MOM?" "Hey Mom, I want to snuggle!" This goes on anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 1/2 hours! He needs the sleep because if he misses it, he will wake up in the middle of the night and scream. Other than this, the boy is tired of the weather. It's amazing one day and he can play outside for hours and then the next day it's snowing. He just doesn't understand that he can't go outside to play when there is 3" of snow on the ground. Well, he could, just his hands would be ice cubes. The last few days he has been acting like his ear hurts but you ask him and he denies it. In fact he told one of his daycare providers that he was holding his ear because it 'not hurt'.... silly boy. But with this we are keeping an extra eye on him wondering if he may have an ear infection. He is pretty much potty trained! Tonight and last night he pooped in his diaper for the night but I'm sure that's because we were trying to ignore him because of his procrastination. But for the last month and a half or so he has only been wearing big boy underwear. Pull ups and/or diapers are only for sleeping time.
Lillian- FINALLY, she has 2 teeth! She was 13 months and 2 days old when the first tooth popped out. I was really beginning to think if she even had any teeth in her head. She took about 3 steps on the 11th and since then has only taken one hear and there but she still has no interest in taking off. The girl is determined to be a baby forever! Yes, she had another ear infection last week. The good thing with tubes is that we could treat it with drops instead of anti-biotic. They always gave her infections and so then we had to treat another problem. After a week of drops, she was good to go.
Dennis- Is starting his long working hours. Once daylight lasts longer, so do his work days. He's been working on a fuel trailer at one of the guy's house that drives for him. There are about 6-8 cows still to have calves but most are done. He has about half the herd out on wheat. His chore buddy has a blast helping him. Talking about Will if you didn't get that. Since winter has seemed to hang around forever and a half, I'm not sure when he will start doing spring chopping. It's usually the end of May but if it doesn't start warming up with lots of sunshine, who knows?!
Natalie- Working like normal. I am glad that I finally found something to help me sleep during the day. I started taking melatonin when I sleep during the day and it took about 2 weeks of taking it to see it actually working. For a while it was just making me drag on when I was awake but finally it started working and I got to sleep until 4 this afternoon! That makes me handle nights a lot easier. I'm not sure if I ever blogged it or not but from the end of January to the beginning of March I lost around 7-9% body fat. When I realized I was finally in the 'average' range I was very excited and realized HOW to set goals. I've been on the 'weight loss' journey for so long that that's how I looked at it, as a 'weight loss'. Thing of it is, it's not a weight loss journey for me anymore. I want fat loss. That's how I should have looked at it the entire time. I always knew that muscle weighs more than fat but I guess it didn't sink in until I was measured and was told that I have 160lbs of lean muscle mass. My goal weight wise WAS the weight I was when Dennis and I got married, at 173lbs. That would put me at less than 8% body fat! That is very difficult for a female. So I know now to make my goal a percentage instead of a number. This is especially true since I want to continue to build muscle. So, for my "fat loss" journey, I am lifting my butt off! Well actually, I kinda like my hinny since I've been doing so many squats so I don't want to lift my butt off but that wont happen since I'm lifting and doing it heavy!
