hey!

As you can all tell, I am terrible at being consistent with this blog! But I will admit, that with the kids it is hard to get some computer time as Wyatt believes that my laptop is his and he needs to help me!

So much has happened since my last post I do not even know where to begin! So I will start with the newest addition to our family! Malaika (Mah-lay-kah) Christine was born January 5, 2010. She arrived at 1051am weighing 7 pounds 14 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. She is such a good baby and now only gets up once, maybe twice a night...such a difference to the twins! Kaylee and Wyatt have adjusted fairly well to having a new sister. Kaylee loves to help and enjoys holding her, and she really copies me with her own "babies" it is so darn cute. Wyatt loves to get a new diaper when she needs one. He also loves to lie on his tummy and have conversations with her when she is in the floor. He is going to be such a great big brother!

Kaylee and Wyatt have grown so much! Since Malaika was born their vocabularies have increased tremendously! Along with their independence. Independence has been wonderful on one hand, but hard on the other...both seem to have quite the temper if the can not do something, but refuse any kind of help. And then when they decided they need help, they want it right now...no waiting...ahhh the fun of the age of 2 :)

Kaylee has begun potty training and all and all it is going really really well! We have had a few accidents, but she has been out of diapers now for 2 weeks (except for bedtime). We are so very proud of her for this accomplishment. Wyatt on the other hand has not been so good. I decided to let Kaylee train first seeing that Wyatt has no interest at all. This was working great until Wyatt began to get upset that he was not getting the praise that Kaylee was. So now he says he needs the potty, sits on it and gets all excited to get 1 square of toilet paper and to flush the toilet. He comes out shouting "I Peed, I peed" but we have had to correct him and say that he has not. He likes to wear big boy underwear, but with not being successful at using the potty, he gets really upset when he has an accident. So we are not pushing or suggesting he uses the potty right now. We are going with his lead and hopefully soon, he will join his sister in the potty trained club! Oh it will be so nice to not have the older 2 in diapers...woohoo!!!!
