I thought I'd better give an update on us before people got too worried, especially after my last post. Julianne is 3 weeks old today and she is a blessing to have in our home. She's a good baby who only really fusses when she's hungry. She's our little Sleeping Beauty. I'm doing better and have started doing laundry again. As for house cleaning and cooking...not quite there yet. For those of you who offered advice, thanks. I think Gabriela is about to get a good dose of reality. She's 3 and is plenty capable of going potty, feeding herself, brushing her own teeth, and being a big girl. She just needs some motivation. Hopefully we will see some progress soon.
A funny thing Gabriela said...The other day I was on the computer and Gabriela was in my face. I asked her if I could "have some space." She reached up in the air and pinched a piece between her fingers and handed it too me, while she said, "there you go Mom, I got you some space." That's my Gabriela.

I love Gabriela's imagination. Steve and I were discussing Blake the other day , and I realized that the reason he had been so annoying and acting like a baby lately is because of all the attention we give Alli for doing and saying cute things. I realized that I had stopped treating him like a big boy so he decided to act like a baby. The last few days I've tried to be a lot nicer to him, and treat him like a big boy by talking to him more about him, being a lot more patient about all the things he does on his own, and giving him special privelages that Alli can't have or Alli can't do. I think he has responded well (using the potty is one of those things that Alli can't do). He has showed signs of being more helpful, playing better, and for most of the day, acting like a big boy a little bit better. I liked Libby's post too, and I've tried to think about how Blake can teach Alli. So glad that laundry is going again. I'm sure it missed you since it never goes away.
Hey Lindsay, its your old neighbor Laisa Nielson.....how are ya?? Julianne is absolutely adorable, she fits right in with your family. You are looking great too. Graciela gave me your blog address.....we haven't started one cos I'm already addicted to facebook & thats enough right now (ha ha). We miss you guys.....I would still love to hang out sometime - especially since the boys are in school.....Keilana is so bored with me.
Anyway, I'm glad that I can get updates on how you're doing.....take care.
