Update on the Gs

The Boy has been busy.

He is loving Kindergarten. I used to walk him up to the slab every morning when I dropped him off. Now he tells me to just drop him off and he can walk by himself. It is hard letting him grow up so much.

G1 has soccer practice once a week and a game on Saturdays. Two days a week he has Martial Arts class. He is enjoying both.

G1 has learned to tie his shoes and has learned another trick (but you have to wait until I can upload videos to learn about that one).
G2 is loving preschool. She wishes she could go every day. She has wrote her name a few times. My walls are covered in "Gs" because she is so excited to be able to write that letter.

There is a little girl from her preschool class that has an older sister that goes to the same elementary as G1. G2 gets so excited to see her friend at Bubby's school. I love how social she is.

G3 is doing great.

Parents always wonder if they are making the right decisions for their children. Since preschool had started I continued to question if separating G2 and G3 was the right thing to do. One day when I went to pick the girls up I peeked in on G3. She was singing and dancing with the rest of the class! I was so happy. It brought tears to my eyes. I felt validated in my decision. Her teacher has said she has started really talking, and even talked to one of the the "helpers" (Knox College student) one day. I have noticed a positive change in her in other situations too. She is finally coming out of her shell, such a wonderful thing!

We chose not to sign G2 and G3 up for tumbling at this time. We weren't very impressed with how little they were actually getting out of class. We have decided we can work with them at home until we decide where they will take classes from. Also, on Saturday G2 and G3 went to their first friend birthday party without Matt or I. They had a blast. The little girl is someone from the preschool who they both love dearly.
G4 is amazing.

Potty training is going great. She still wears training pants to bed, but wakes up dry more often than not. Day time she is in underwear all the time and rarely has accidents. She HATES toilets that are not in our home, but is getting better about that.

G4 talks. A lot. It is pretty cool being able to have real back and forth conversations with her.

Matt is back on 3rd shift. He was 3rd shift with Saturday and Sunday off for quite a while, beginning of September he switched to 1st shift with Wednesday and Thursday off. Last week he switched back to 3rd with Friday and Saturday off. I'm pretty sure he will stick with this for a while. Matt is take martial arts 3 evenings a week. On Fridays Matt and G1 have class together.
