The days are going FAST!!! The kids have gone back to school ALREADY. Jack is 3 months OLD! What to do?!?

We finally moved the crib into the "playroom". Now the daunting task of getting Jack to "cry it out" and get him trained to fall asleep on his own during the day. YES, I am still holding him for naps during the day. The little charmer won't sleep on his own during the day. I lay him down nice and sound asleep and POP open his little eyes. Now he needs to learn how to do it on his own I guess. I remember doing this with Madi. It was hard. I don't like it. However, this mom of 4 needs to get this house back in order, and the only way that is going to happen is if Mr. Jack takes a decent nap on his own.

Madi is in 6th grade. Oh my. I can't believe it. I can't possibly be the mom of a 6th grader! She is trying to talk me into letting her do band or orchestra. I think gymnastics takes up enough of her time with 12 hrs a week. She is such a good big sister to her little bros. She loves them and helps take very good care of them.

Ellie is a 4th grader. My girls are so big! She is coming along on the cello. She is starting a new dance class next week. We'll see how she likes it. I think this will be the first time she is in a dance class without one of her good friends along. Maybe it will help take some of the shyness out of her.

Brody is in his second year of preschool at QC Elem. I am letting him ride the bus, much to the disapproval of dad. I don't see the big deal when it picks him up directly in front of our house and drops him off DIRECTLY in front of our house. All under the watchful eye of ME. He loves it. Plus I don't have to get Jack in and out of the car a billion times a day.

Sorry for such a long post. I needed to catch up!
