Temperance
Let's first start off by saying she is amazing. She has learned so much from school and Malakai, that she amazes me more and more each day. She is picking up on signs and is using them constantly. I will admit, there are times she throws up a sign and I have no idea what she is asking or telling me, but eventually, we compromise something out. She is still not talking, but trust and believe, she has her way of telling me what it is she WANTS, not need. Temperance seems to be getting taller each given day and her attitude, well, she's got one. We are still working on potty training her. There are times she goes to the potty and pretty much informs you she has to go, and once she gets settled down onto the potty, she handles her business. But there are other times she does not want to be bothered by the potty. Christmas is just around the corner and I truly believe, I will have one happy little girl. She will be getting two precious Disney babies for Christmas (Mulan/Ariel), a gorgeous Rapunzel suitcase, and a Rapunzel blanket made by Violet from Coming Up Baby (http://www.facebook.com/ComingUpBaby), from Santa. She is going to completely love LOVE love all her items. Currently we are still working on signs, but right now, nothing new. She did however get two new DVDs for Christmas, one which talks about going to the potty using signs and Kai also go one DVD. All purchased from Signing Time, so we will have so much more to share once the new year starts. Temperance has recently picked up signing: red and purple. Mainly because at least a few times a week, me and Kai play the Rainbow Song in the car and while it's playing, Kai does the signs in the backseat and if you just saw Mimi's face, it lights up as if she's inspired by everything Kai does :)
Malakai
First I must say is he is going to be super smart when he gets older, if he can continue to focus and steer away from too many distractions. It's like he is taught something and never forgets it. I mean never. He remembers a lot and he's at that age in which he should be able to. I am so proud at how much he has learned these past few months at the Child Development Center. His teachers are great with him and I am so glad they are his teachers. He has been working on writing his name and is doing a great job. He pretty much knows to how write Malakai, but now I have them working on the Prince portion of his name. I have faith that Kai will succeed very far. He has met so many friends at school and I am so glad for that. Before he was never really around many people because he didn't "actually" go to school, but now, he has friends and it means a lot to me to know he has someone he can have fun with at school. As far as Kai's health, we went to the doctor a few months ago and had his thyroid levels checked and everything seems to be normal. He has gained a little bit of weight (50 pounds), which the doctor said it could be because of the amount of juice/gatorade he was taking in, so currently he is drinking more water/ or diluted drinks. He seems to be getting taller each day. Before I know it, he will be as tall as me. Oh my!!! He is suppose to be getting a hamster from Santa/Uncle Malcolm, but we shall see what happens. He's been a little "naughty" lately, and well, he needs to work on his behavior a little bit :)
Well, that about sums everyone up a bit. Hopefully, I can start back blogging here soon, once I get a little more organized with life <3
