Anna's Eye Doctor Appointment

We celebrated Bowe's b-day yesterday. We were able to go out to lunch and then ran to different doctor appointments with the kids. Anna's appointment lasted almost 3 hours. It was a long day for her. Thankfully, her eyes are healthy right now. I hope that they stay that way. We still won't know if she has NF for awhile or if it will affect her eyes. It has been a frustrating process. For one thing it takes way to long to get a doctor's appointment. I wish that we could get answers sooner than later.

Making a Change

I feel like I am constantly telling my kids to do things that they should do all the time without me having to tell them. I have turned into a nag. I have talked with some friends and am going to try to use the Accountable Kids program (http://www.accountablekids.com/products.aspx). I am very excited. I ordered it tonight and can't wait to implement it.

Will We Ever Sleep Again?!

The hardest part of having three little ones and a newborn is the lack of sleep. I wonder every day if I will ever get a good nights sleep again. Anna has a cold so she is sleeping even worse than usual. She wakes up and can't breathe, coughs, and then squeals/screams. I think that she woke up every two hours. Then to make matters worse Olivia and Caleb woke us up. Caleb said the wind woke him up. We told him that he must be hearing things because it wasn't even windy. Olivia woke us up because we aren't even sure why. What in the world!! Does anyone sleep around here? Then to make matters worse someone (Ella- I am sure) played with my alarm clock, and it went off at 3:15 in the morning! It took me a few minutes to figure out what it was. Maybe the next night will be better!
