In the Groove

We’ve gotten down to a pretty tight ship around here.  Brandon thrives on routines (as do most kids).  He’s on at least one week of positive reports from school – he’s either a good listener and/or participant during circle time.  He is happy and is listening to his teachers and keeping his hands to himself.  He loves his homework, and will sit diligently and do it every night.  Some nights, he wants to do more than one page (tonight, he wanted to finish 3 pages!).  He looks forward to doing it, even on the weekends when we tell him he can take a break.  In a “what comes first the chicken or the egg moment”, he sleeps better at night, too.  There are NO tears when it comes down to night time.  He knows what to expect, and he follows the rules at home.  It’s still a struggle when we are with the grandparents, but here at home, he knows what’s what.  He has been sleeping through the night with dry clothes.  He’ll wake up in the morning, and promptly go to the potty.  If it’s too early (before 7am), then he’ll go back to his room and wait.  Usually, it’s been that I’ve gone in there too early to start getting him ready.  Today he told me, “But Mommy, it’s not seven-zero-zero yet.”  Even when we drop off Peyton first, he leaves when it’s time to go, without putting up too much of a fight.  This weekend at my parents’ house, I got mad at him and told him it was naptime (it was after lunch).  I told him to go to sleep.  I Some people might accept it and move one, but others can log online buy generic viagra and buy anti ED medicines like Kamagra has been formulated.

These all qualities of the kamagra soft tablets made it a popular and convenient drug to treat men’s generic cialis erection issue. didn’t say another word.  I was telling Dave what happened, and he asked where Brandon was.  I had to go downstairs to check on him.  I found him in his bed, just lying down playing with his car.  I couldn’t believe it!  Dare I say – BREAKTHROUGH!  It was a rocky couple of months that we had there with lots of power struggling, rule-testing, and frustration from everyone; always afraid of the phone ringing, thinking it’s the school calling.  I think that it was all bad timing with turning 3, being a new big brother – with Peyton being here at home with me, or even with my mom all day, and looking for a new home – going in and out of open houses; Dave also blames his old school, with the lack of discipline, and the kids there.  It seems the kids at the new school are less snotty, and while some of them are rambunctious, they are well-intentioned, not like at the old school where Dave had witnessed some trading of major beat-downs.  Let’s see if we have to go through the same thing with Peyton.  She is more feisty in some ways – she gets into things way more than Brandon ever did.  She is more daring, exploring the wine cabinet, and almost crunching her fingers in the drawers on several occasions.  She touches the warm fire place glass, oven, and anything else she can get her hands on.  She will be a handful in a different way.  My grandma wants us to have another kid – in fact, she said to have twin girls, just like Peyton.  No way, Jose.
