Nicholas' life right now is wrestling. He gets home at night between 630 and 7 - matches are even later. He then eats showers does homework and heads to bed. This past weekend he went to a 2 day overnight tournament. He had a blast even though he came home with some bruises welts and a black eye. He didn't make the 106 weight for the 106 weight spot on varsity he was certified at 106.2. He was so disappointed even more so when he couldn't beat the other 112 wrestler for that spot. So he tried for the open 120 spot on varsity. That's his spot. So... Basically meets are a learning experience and a chance to get a little better as it is hard to win wrestling kids that can be about 15 lbs heavier than you. He also has a "girlfriend". They are getting to know each other by talking on the late bus and texting. And so the adventure of teenage dating begins!!
Nic giving William his favorite - a piggy back ride:
Justin is loving school! He started a basketball clinic last week and finishes this week. He has been having so much fun! Luckily Alex has been home on vacation days or left work early to help me with William at the game and with lifting his stroller in and out of the burb. Yesterday Justin also stayed after for craft day. The kids got to stay until 515 make a craft watch a movie and buy snacks and hot cocoa. He had a blast and is seeming to make and find friends from his class easily at these events. He is doing do much better with his reading. It has improved a 100%! He is even asking to and reading chapter books. Not sure if it finally clicked for him or if it is his teacher but either way I am ecstatic! Justin is still crazy and loves to run and jump and be outside. He is great at riling up William and then being done playing with him and goes upstairs leaving me with a 16 month old running in circles screaming.
Basketball Pics:
William is crazy and a sweetheart all in one. He loves giving kisses and blowing them. He also still loves to cuddle and rock to sleep at night. He also loves to be a wild man! He loves nic to pieces and will scream for him until nic picks him up. He loves to play ball with JJ but the 2 of them rile each other up something fierce! It usually ends with Justin escaping upstairs and William running in circles screaming. Oh Joy! He is also at the stage where he will give a kiss and hug and share a toy. Then want it back and if it's not given back immediately he screams and hits and wrestles for it. He is definitely my worst so far with climbing (yes he is worse than J- which is terrifying)! He is also the worst with temper tantrums. I am praying he is getting out all the terrible 2s and horrible 3s now and be an angel when the babies come! A mom can dream right??? His vocab is increasing and it is so fun to hear new words! He loves balls and loves to toss around mini beach balls.
William watching Justin's game:
Stealing mommy's coke off the table and running for the laundry room to hide:
Uh Oh! Mommy caught me!
Alex is doing better, his dizziness was just a calcium deposit in his ear. They have no idea what causes it but it can happen to anyone. They also switched his bp med that was making his bp too low! I guess the drs need to be careful but an overnight hospital stay and a mention of brain tumor with an MRI thrown in is too much! CRAZY!!
I am doing well. I passed my 2nd 3 hour glucose test and my blood pressure has been so low that they took me off blood pressure meds and we are holding steady! I feel great in the morning but by afternoon I am ready to sit and not move! My hips hurt so bad, the babies are all upfront so... I ordered a belly bra this week! Hopefully it works!
Life keeps on moving along...at a gallop! I wish it would slow down so I could savor all the moments longer!
