Stupid clocks!

Onto day 2 of my children waking up at an ungodly hour.  Yesterday it was 5:55 am and today 5:30am, is tomorrow going to be 5am. BLAH!  Phoenix was just starting to sleep into 7 and Tristen was sleeping in till 8:30 and now bam early again.  And this whole its pitch black outside at 5:30pm really doesn't help either.  Last night we ate dinner, had it all cleaned up my house was all picked up Phoenix was tired and grumpy and what do ya know the clock only said 5:45.  God help me today!  At least today I have Tim home to help and I get to get out of the house for a meeting tonight.  So there is my feel sorry for myself bitchiness for today. (brought to you today by the letter Zzzzz)

Got a call last week from the Ortho and Phoenix's new snazzy leg braces are in.  Going to get them Friday and not a week too soon.  The poor kids braces now his toes stick off and the straps just don't hold his feet in.  But the last two weeks we have seen a VAST improvement in all things.  He now says mama when he needs me, or just wants to be held.  In the past the only time he would say it was when he was pissed off.  He also says his own version of dada...its ahh ahh with a happy squeal mixed in.  He is signing regularly now, gets his arms above his head without any issues but if you try to force something out of him forget it.  He loves to army crawl, and yesterday actually flipped himself from back to belly!!  The main thing that we are failing at it eating.  He just doesn't want to try new foods, he screams in a panic attack if we make him eat something he doesn't want.  He still pretty much only eats mushy foods, but he can eat normal things just doesn't want to.  Oh and still drools like crazy.

On another note I am almost done Christmas shopping.  Got the boys things and put it on layaway, got my families things ordered and now I've just got to wait till this weekend to pick up Tim's and I'm done.  All done anyway except for the homemade goodies.  Also got Thanksgiving dinner all planned....I think my mom is more exited then me.  She keeps calling me to talk about what we are making and having.  I'm looking forward to a very relaxed and peaceful holidays!
