a new house

Wow! It's been awhile. We moved last weekend and it's been a little crazy with the move and trying to get onto a schedule. I love the new place, i am so happy to have more room. The oldest has his own room, the other 2 boys share and our lovebug has her own room. My kitchen is bigger than our old place and we have 2 bathrooms....YEAH! We are trying to empty boxes still and it just feels never ending right now, trying to find the perfect space for everything.

Gee loves having his own room and i love that he gets his own space away from his brothers. He needs that time to himself sometimes, he has taken care of them and worried about his brothers for so long. He also depends on those around him to play with him, interact and 'do what he says'. I want him to start getting some independence and self confidence in his own abilities to play and entertain himself.
I think turtle was a little upset the first couple times he had to sleep in the room without gee. He was whiny and a little sad. He is used to having gee there and unfortunately him and banana don't seem to have a very strong bond. They don't play well together and i hope that sharing a room will build their bond and help them to get along with each other more.

Of course our lovebug LOVES her room. She says 'Oh, thank you mommy!' She has done great so far and has been fine sleeping by herself. It is on the lower level and quieter, so she is getting more sleep. She enjoys letting the boys play in her room and it is also nice to have a room to send her to when she needs some space.

Our youngest, banana started speech therapy a few weeks ago. We have had 3 sessions so far and they have been going great. The therapist comes here to our home every tuesday for 45 minutes and banana really seems to enjoy it. I hope this will help him to communicate better.
