This year has flown by and now it is December it is just crazy!.
Our life has changed with preschoolers. Now we have to get up at a set time and get out the door and to school on time. That can be challenging with any children, but you throw SPD into the mix and it becomes a little harder.

How did that happen? We have had a pretty mild summer, mind you I'm not complaining...just wishing the garden wasn't so far behind this year. We may not get many tomatoes the way the nights are cooling off already.
Our life has been busy. Both the kiddos are taking swim lessons 5 days a week.

We had the 5th wettest March in the history books and April hasn't been much better. There have been 3 glorious sunny filled days and the rest have been wet or a tease of sun and then WET.
But being a TRUE Oregonian means you do not let the weather keep you from doing things outside.

But first I need to give some background information. Haven has had an issue with poop and wanting to touch and (this is not for the weak of stomach) eat it when she first came home.

My children's imagination have been taking off and it is so fun to watch. New things that they do;
Haven has set up an office in the entry way of our house. She put two of their little chairs there, insists on having her shoes on, packs up a "bag" and goes to her office. Sometimes she even brings her baby with her to the office.

I know I have written a few times about how challenging I find parenting Haven. I love our daughter dearly, but I have such huge guilt that I am not doing a good job with her, because she is such a challenge. So after much soul searching, researching and discussing with Naing, I made an appointment with an Adoption/Bonding therapist.

We started the weekend by meeting our friends at the zoo for the annual Zoo scavenger hunt for kids. When we woke up Saturday it was raining, but we live in Oregon so that wasn't going to stop us from having fun and getting candy.

It really is amazing to me. One year ago they didn't know English and now they are motor mouths. Haven is starting to become a tattle tail. Even when I catch her in the act, she says "Alec did it". Yesterday I awoke to Haven yelling "Alec did it", "Alec did it". When I went into their bedroom, Haven and Alec had both taken off their overnight Becky and Nainghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17898009938333646106noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801427941019048412.post-46388252022034000112010-09-23T23:17:00.000-07:002010-09-23T23:17:43.069-07:00She is a big girl now.We have been working on potty training Haven with M&Ms as rewards.

All I had to do was bring in the candy and things improved. Of course she does barter.

They love this book. It is a silly story about a young boy who wakes up and there is a shoe on his ceiling and all the wacky things he sees that day. Certain events in the book have become an ongoing joke between Haven and Alec. It is so funny to listen to them tell each other the "wacky" thing and listen to them laugh.
They will be Becky and Nainghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17898009938333646106noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801427941019048412.post-19043895229823588522010-09-15T21:31:00.000-07:002010-09-15T21:35:40.792-07:00One Year ago on Sept 14th.It was one year ago yesterday that we got to hold Haven and Alec in our arms for the first time. We finally became a family. Oh the joy, tears and nerves that were experienced in the minutes we waited for the nannies to bring in our babies. I was in a terrible state of mind, because I didn't know who I should hold first. But that was decided for us, they brought Haven in first.
So began our Becky and Nainghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17898009938333646106noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801427941019048412.post-17706518621448583002010-09-02T23:15:00.000-07:002010-09-02T23:15:00.931-07:003 suitcases, 3 carry-ons, 2 carseats, 1 play & pack 4 people and 8 daysYes it is true traveling with small children is not for those with weak constitutions. We set off for an 8 day visit to Toronto for our niece's wedding. Naing's brother was so kind to come all the way for our wedding, we wanted to do the same. Also the little thing of showing off our children to Naing's family was an incentive as well.
We had an early morning flight.

It didn't help that he likes to rub dirt and rocks in his hair. So I made an appointment for him to get his first haircut while I was having my hair done.
He was a little unsure about the whole thing, but was very brave. No crying or wiggling. He sat on my lap and held pretty still for CJ to shave his head.

Both of my children are a little confused with what an owl is. Whenever they see a picture of an "owl" they hold their wrist and scream OWWW. I have had tendonitis that is taking a long time to heal, because children reinjure my wrist. When they do that I yell OWWW.

He mimicks what Haven says. Sometimes I am the only one that can understand what he is saying. His new words are stuck, foot, ear, dolly, color, cheese, apple sauce, oranges, cracker and peas. Tonight when I picked up Naing from work, Alec said "Hi Daddy". Just melted my heart. First time he put the two words together.He is also mimicking his sister's tantrumsBecky and Nainghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17898009938333646106noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801427941019048412.post-61677105579494753162010-03-22T21:46:00.000-07:002010-03-22T21:46:19.082-07:00more picturesBecky and Nainghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17898009938333646106noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801427941019048412.post-25866741758270846442010-03-22T21:42:00.000-07:002010-03-22T21:44:41.575-07:00Haven's party Saturday we had Haven's birthday party at the YMCA. It was such a blast for one and all. We had the kids gym all to ourselves. Mats and fun things to jump, roll or run into. Kids ran wild and had a great time. Haven was having so much fun, she didn't eat her cake. (That is huge for Haven not to eat:) ) I so enjoyed watching Haven and Alec play freely and enjoy time with their buddies.Becky and Nainghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17898009938333646106noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801427941019048412.post-86803901749510834162010-03-22T21:36:00.000-07:002010-03-22T21:36:27.404-07:00 Days with Haven can be hard. I have shared some of that here. But I wanted you to see her cuteness even when she is in time out. We have moved timeout to the corner. Sitting in the time out chair was not a punishment for her and she would laugh and play through it. The corner takes her out of the center of attention and she doesn't get to see what is going on.

When I was in my late 30s and was not married I tried using a sperm donor to get pregnant and be a single Mom. I was driven if not obsessed with becoming pregnant. But that was not meant to be and after much heart ache and soul searching I came to peace with not being able to get pregnant. Then I met Naing.

He will eat pancakes, waffles, apple sauce, chicken nuggets, peas, yams, mango and that is it until this week.
