Hello June

Adrien

Summer is fully underway and we are getting down a schedule! I've been working really hard to get Adrien on a schedule so he will sleep longer and I can get more things done instead of being interrupted. He has very solid awake times because he is happy and so cute, but his naps are never more than an hour and a half! usually only 45 minutes though and it seems like I can't do a lot, but luckily he likes to sit in his seat and hang out with me while I finish things if he's fed and happy. The girls still like to play with him, but they often get distracted and won't sit with him the whole time I'm trying to do dishes or whatever chore I'm working on. Luckily they are understanding when I'm stuck sitting down and are patient when I say I will do something as soon as I'm done feeding him. 

Claire

I thought they would be driving me crazy by now, but they are playing together pretty well, and making sure they do homework takes up an hour of time in the morning. They have most of their toys down from the closets because they kept asking for them and cleaning up what I told them to clean up. I was surprised but we will see how long it truly lasts. Claire has lots of fun playing with Buttercup now that she is used to the safe games and is getting better at not biting. They like to run around and get chased more than playing with the toys, and then they get made when she catches them and jumps on them. I just keep trying to remind them that they need to have a toy to play with her instead. They do wear her out and want the games to keep going, but I know when she lays down during fetch she is done! We got to play with some cousins on our trip to Blackfoot this weekend, but it wasn't a very long time because Chris had a work thing on Saturday and we had to be back for work on Monday too.

Shay

Having her sister home to play with is great because she doesn't have to beg me to play with her when I have to take care of Adrien. Whenever they ask to play a game I always suggest a board game after they have done all their cleaning up and homework and a chore if I have one for them. Usually, the chore is putting laundry away, but I'm thinking about getting a mini vacuum downstairs since they aren't really good with the broom yet and Buttercup likes to eat crumbs. They found a slide on one of the rest stops we had on our way to Blackfoot yesterday and Shay is the one that reminded me to get pictures of them being cute. She asks me to take pictures of her when she holds Adrian and when she does funny things. I'm glad I have her so you guys get good pictures! I don't know if I need a full new section for Buttercup, but I tried my hand at grooming her and the girls liked to help when she was being blow-dried while I brushed her. She turned out pretty cute!
