Firstly Levi is LOVING preschool and so am I. He goes 3x a week for 2.5 hours in the afternoon. We go to the preschool a little before class start then him and Max can play on the play ground. This is good especially for Max so he can get the last of his wiggles out because once we drop of Levi we go home and he takes a nap and usually wakes up just before we need to do pickup. The timing is perfect and its a good guaranteed 2 hours of work time in my day. Nice.
Also despite the glorious break I get in the day I love it because Levi truly does. He loves being around all the kids, his fun teachers, and all the art/craft projects they do daily. Ask him how it's going and he'll enthusiastically, with arms in air shout "Great!!!" Ah, the preschool life.
One thing that's kind of hard to change is sleeping. Since Levi doesn't get a nap or even any quiet time he gets tired pretty early so we've moved up the bedtime because we've found that, for the most part, regardless of when they go to bed they pretty much wake up at the same time every day (lately that's been 6-6:30, 7 if I'm lucky) so to make sure he gets enough sleep we have to put him to bed early and on school days can't stay up like he used to when family comes over. It's been an adjustment for me because no more of this staying up till all hours working, it usually has to be before 12:30 or so or I'm completely dead the next day. We're all adjusting.
Also he's been extremely helpful lately. He's still a great picker-up-er and now has a new job taking out recycling. He loves it because it's a 'big boy job'.
Max. Now what's up with that little prince? He can now open doors, he couldn't before. He loves to pick out his own cloths and pretty much always wants to wear big brothers shoes. Oh, almost every time we drop Levi off for school or someone picks him up he freaks out because he think he gets to go to. In some ways that makes me a little happy just because he'd really go and be fine if I let him which I don't think he would have done a couple months ago. Also there have been a number of times lately where he'll go with Jason smiling without completely freaking out because he's not with me. All right!
Right now they're playing with legos and Levi refuses to play with the girl lego people and says he only likes boy legos. "I don't like lego girls, I only like lego boys. I hate lego girls. I don't like them because they're girly and I don't like girly". Well now.
Me? Super busy with shop stuff. I'm getting ready for the holidays and re-doing some stuff in my store and re-doing some pictures which is taking for-evha. But little by little I suppose. I've actually been cooking dinner's lately. I was getting back into the swing of things and had my dinner menu scheduled out but then it was extremely hot and because we are on the top level and have no air conditioning I refused to cook. Then I was completely dead sick for a week but now we're all better and I'm cooking more regularly which definitely helps out with the routine.
Jason has a new fish tank and has been working on setting it up and taking apart the big tank and piecing it out. Also he just started studying again for his APICS certification exam for work. I wish I was as good of a test taker as he is. I'd be stressing out about it, but it shouldn't take him too long to get.
So that's the current state of the Goodrich's, crazy as ever.
