Things have been really hectic lately. Soccer season is finally over. We missed the last game because it snowed. We got a couple of inches. We live in an area that had power the whole time but many of our friends did not. So no soccer but can't wait for the spring season. After that things went very quickly and Jaedon has really taken up most of my time since then. Three weeks ago I was brushing Jaedons teeth and a piece of tooth fell of. I got him an emergency dentist appointment and they got him in the next day. The damage was worse than I thought. Two of his teeth had to be removed and two teeth capped. It has been really hard for me because I feel guilty I didn't see it sooner. We get them regular check ups and I help him brush once a week but sometimes it isn't enough. The surgery was pretty extensive. he was in surgery for 4 hours. Thankfully they were able to fix everything. It took five days before he was up and running and playing again and his teeth still hurt where they put the spacers in. (Spacers save the space for the new tooth to grow in.) JJ and Kaylee went to the dentist as well and thankfully they were both part of the no cavity club.
Jeremy and I are doing well. Jeremy has been doing really well at work. This weekend was the first weekend he was on call to deal with the weekend problems. It was not a easy thing, on Saturday morning he received 12 calls between 3:30 am and 8:30 am, but I know he was really flattered to be asked and had a great sense of accomplishment when the weekend was over. I have enjoyed canning this week. We havent really gone and done a lot of things this season but I have been able to can apple sauce, pumpkin, apple butter, pumpkin apple butter, and pumpkin pie mix all from scratch. Kaylee is still mad at me for cooking her pumpkin.
JJ is doing well in school. He is really excelling in everything but spelling. JJ is really good at reading and sounding out word but it unable to do the reverse. He can't dissect a word and write out the letters. Art PE and the library are his favorites. He received a homework award this week for doing his homework every day last month.
Jaedon is getting better about his anxiety. I can leave him for a couple of hour now and have high hope for the coming year. He is getting really good at making crafts and is learning how to sound out words. He is reading small books, they started teaching him in his library class. He told them I don't read enough bed time stories and they told him he could read his own. I love our library class.
Kaylee is doing great. Her new favorite saying is "Pink is better". Her favorite color is pink and is not afraid to tell you. The highlight of her day is getting to pick out her clothes. She loves to hang up clothes and take them down and is really good at matching shirts and pants and jackets. She seems to take after her Aunt Heidi and Grandma with everything has a place. She likes to have her toys cleaned up and has her own space for the things she likes.
