Shake it like a snow globe

I have no idea why I put that as the title other than that is what I hear all day at work...Shake it, shake it, shake it like a snow globe. (Being sung by the Lemur off of Madagascar and Santa shaking his butt) Be prepared this is going to be a very random update.

Things around here are doing pretty good. Lexi is getting better. The first day was the worst and she has gotten better each day afterward. She still is having a hard time talking and will be staying home from school again tomorrow and we will see how well she does on Tuesday.

Kayden and Koy are doing Kayden and Koy things. The two of them can get into trouble very easily. They have been in time out a lot at the babysitters and have had to come home and sit in their rooms since they were so bad at the babysitter. Kayden has also been going to the bathroom in his pants a lot lately because he doesn't want to stop playing long enough to come in and go to the bathroom so he gets in trouble for that too. They are always together and they are always fighting with each other but there are times that they are just fine and they keep each other company also. I have to pick my battles with them on a daily basis. Being 5 and 3 can be hard but we will get through it.

This Saturday is a big milestone for us. It will be Kayden's three year transplant anniversary. I think back to when he received his transplant and look at all that he has accomplished since then and I am so proud of him and so proud to say that I am his mommy. His pediatrician said that had he not seen that he had a g-tube or that I had said that he had a transplant he would have never even guessed because he looks like a normal little 5 year old. He is in the 50th percentile in his weight and really close to the same with his height. I haven't put him in any sports yet because I am still a little nervous about that, but we will see if maybe this spring and summer we might be able to sign him up for something since he deserves to have the same experience that other little boys have at playing sports and seeing what he is interested in and able to do. I am thinking that soccer might be a good place to start, or maybe get him involved in golf.

This week I am going to go and take the placement test at the community college. I am nervous and confident at the same time. I know that going to school is the right thing for me and I am so excited about the possibilities that are ahead.

About a year and a half ago I had a cyst removed from my wrist. I healed very well and the doc told me that he was able to get it out and that it shouldn't come back. Well, the past few weeks my wrist has really been hurting me and wouldn't you know right next to my incision there is a new bump that is growing. I am afraid that the cyst is coming back. It is causing more pain and I am having a hard time doing some things with my without hearing and feeling a pop in my wrist. I am going to call my doctor to see what they say about it coming back and having to have another surgery again.

So life at our house is pretty calm and I like it that way. Tomorrow we will be cleaning and dejunking a lot of stuff and just hanging out as a family since both me and Josh have the day off and Lexi will be home from school.
