My day has been very full but productive. I got my van cleaned..at least on the inside. I vacuumed, washed the windows and shined up the leather. It looks pretty good. Didn't make it to the outside yet but hope i will have time tomorrow before the rain to at least get the bugs and dirt off it from soccer this week.
Grant seems to be doing better. His fever broke and his poopie seems back to normal. He is still drooling and chewing everything but his teeth have all broke through the skin so i assume he is better now. Grant has his appointment on Tuesday and i will be able to see if we can take him off the formula.
I am nervous about it because he is attached to the bottle but i know it is time to get rid of it and the formula...i don't want him to be one of THOSE kids and i worry about rotting out his teeth falling asleep with a bottle every night. Hailey was breatfed and she weaned easily at 10 months and i didn't have to worry about bottles she easily went to a cup...hmmm... He drinks out of a cup with his juice and soy milk so i just need to up those things while decreasing the formula...and more solid foods which he isn't liking very much but then again he has been sick. How are you supposed to get a routine when things are constantly changing???
Hailey has been having some problems as well at home and at school. She is doing very well on learning and reading and all that. BUT she has been starting to lie to her teachers and to us...it isn't about anything important not that lying is ever good but it is about things she wouldn't even get in trouble about....I don't know what to do about it. We have tried being nice, we have tried punishments...nothing is working.
At least once a week she is getting in trouble at school for lying!! Today she lost tv, coloring, must finish cleaning her room, and has to write "i will not lie" 75 times. Last time we made her write it 50 times....Do you have any suggestions for me...i don't want to punish her i just want her to learn to do the right thing...lying is wrong! I have even tried showing her in the bible what Jesus says about lies...nothing is working. I am getting frustrated. What have you done to stop your kiddos from lying?? Should i spank her?? I don't feel like that is the answer..i don't like to spank but i am to my wits end...H-E-L-P!!

I obviously don't have any experience with this - Ace doesn't know really how to lie yet. Still, I think in that situation, I'd keep taking things away until she got the point, and make her earn them back one by one by having 5 full days without lying or something like that.
You're doing a good job, and you're an awesome mommy!
