I think we are seeing a turn in Zoe's attitude. Travace,like Zoe did, has started exerting his independence early and does not want to held all the time, but, prefers being put in his crib or the playpen to play and sleep by himself, which, has freed Christi up to be more available to Zoe. It is making a difference in her. She is talking and responding a little more freely, the potty training is at least being worked on. The other day she went and got her Mommy by the hand and dragged her into the bathroom so she would put her on the potty. She still gets Trav's pacifier out of his crib when she is at the house with me and I let her suck on it... it is less and less and usually when I don't make a fuss about it she just throws it down.

Levi reports that she is responding better to their play "school" time, repeating words more freely. I've noticed in just the last few days that when she comes to the house she isn't asking for the tv as much. She is willing to play with me more without much fussing.

Our lives for the past week have seemingly been one freaking disaster after another.
The fire which threw us for days afterward. We've had to buy a new trailer we weren't ready to buy. We are having problems with equipment we installed at a local church and getting the run-around from the manufacturer.
So, to say the least, it has been a stressful week or so.

I am ready for something to go RIGHT for a change.
