It's time again for a monthly update on my kiddos! We'll start with Karly. She is still doing very well. She is sleeping through the night, from about 7pm-8am and she takes an afternoon nap from 1pm-3:30pm. She is usually very happy, but has the occasional fit when something doesn't go her way. She likes to get in my cupboards and pull out pots and pans, food, anything she can get her hands on. She also now likes to climb up on the big chairs at the table and tries to grab people's food. She is still not really talking, so Early Intervention will be coming in early January to evaluate her. She'll probably have a special instructor like Luke did. I'm sure once she starts talking, she'll talk ALL the time. She seems to understand what we're saying to her, so that's a good thing.

Luke is doing very well in Preschool. He goes 2 days a week and seems to really like it. I just found out today that he needs to have a 2nd set of tubes put in his ears, because the last set fell out and he's not hearing well again. He's also going to have his adenoids and tonsils taken out, because they feel that this will help his speech, ear infections, breathing, snoring, etc. He's scheduled for surgery on December 29th. Please pray that all goes well for him, that he recovers quickly, and that this is the last of the ear problems for him! Other than all that, he is a very happy boy. He's quick to comfort someone when they hurt themselves, he's very compassionate and empathetic. He enjoys watching Spongebob, ALL the time! He's still crazy about Thomas the train too. He's our little clown, he's always saying and doing funny things. He is fully potty trained, and needs very little reminding to use the potty.

Drew is doing awesome in school. He got his first report card in school, and it was great. The only thing that he could really improve on to get a better report card is his neatness and legibility. His teacher tells me that he is a very bright little boy and he sets a fine example for the other students. She also says he's shy and reserved at school, is she talking about the same kid??!! At home he's bouncing off the walls sometimes, and just loves to annoy Luke. Most of the time they all get along very well though.

Well, that's it for now. I posted some more pictures for you to see.
