Corn Maze

Adrian

Chris says that he is at the stage of cutness that he just wants to squeeze him and play whenever he sees him. I agree because he loves to smile and play most of the time as long as I keep him rested and his tummy full. He just plays with all this toys throughout the day and we like to look and smile at each other no matter what I'm doing. He seems content to be in sight and is getting good at throwing his toys away from him but not yet crawling to go get them. The funnest part is when he gets tired and doesn't want to play with anything anymore but doesn't want to sleep. He just wants to be held so he can rub his face on me. I had a party on Tuesday so Chris stayed up with the kids until I got home and Adrian fell asleep cuddling daddy while they watched a movie. We also had fun feeding him while we went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse on Friday. He was in a booster and we kept everything except the small food pieces away from him which made the table feel crowded. While at the corn maze, Chris carried him while he got to look at everything, and he was really worried about the meeting the goats.

Claire

Claire started doing chores so they could earn money because they keep geting sent home with scholastic newspapers with books in them. They circle about 10 of them that they want to buy and I'm glad I gave them a love of reading! She suprised me by making our bed for us and her own bed and then asked when I was going to wash their cloths so she could put them away. It was kind of funny to see her excited about chores finally, and now I have to come up with more things for her to do besides reading books she has already read over and over again. There was a lot of fun to have at the Corn Maze and her favorite was to race me on the bike carts even though it was never a fair fight because she would start before I could get in the cart. 

Shay

I started feeling bad for something I said about the things she likes to pick up as we walk outside. She literally always has something she sees and picks up, I find them in the coat pockets she wears, in her backpack, and on my kitchen table. She did it when we were going through the maze with corn and called them her treasure, and she ran out of room to hold all that she found. By the end we convinced her to 'bury' it in the stocks so she can hide it like a pirate and we could continue to go have fun on the other activities. She has officially had a full week with no incidents at school and only one day that she didn't earn all her stars on our communication sheet. I'm still knocking on wood and praying that she can continue to control her emotions and work well with others.
