6 weeks

Baby Benny is 6 weeks old today! Is that even possible? Has it really gone by that fast? I really try to soak in every minute with him because I know all to well I'll wake up one morning and he will be the one starting school :( All the moms reading this are going, yes it does go way too fast.

Ben is smiling a little now. He started at about 4 weeks, but lately we've been able to get him to smile instead of 'just gas' smiles. I have no idea what he weighs. His next apt. is on the 30th so we'll see then. He sleeps pretty good at night--waking up one or two times for a butt change and boobie time.

Jack started swimming lessons on Monday and it's going very well. He is doing great compared to last year. He's listening and participating. We're so proud of him! Alex cried the first lesson because he can't go in, he's too little. We keep telling him we'll go to open swim some night. I feel so bad :( Most kids cry because they don't want to go in the water and my kid cries because he can't go in. Too cute. He still has no interest in the potty. The diaper changes are getting really disgusting. I keep telling myself, he'll go when he's ready, but I think he wouldn't mind crapping his pants for a few more years.

No offers on the house yet. I'm trying not to let it get me down, but since we're moving in August, I'd like this one to sell.

I have pics--just need to download. Soon, I promise.

website

I see I had an inquiry about the web address that has our house listing on it. I purposely did not post it because it tells the state (I believe), city and exact street address of where we live. I'm not super computer and web savvy, but I didn't think it was a good idea for some random person to stumble on that particular info, even though I'm sure it's super easy to find out anyway. Just tryin' to keep our family safe :) If anyone wants to know the address, just e-mail me and I will be happy to pass that on!

thinking positive

We had two showings on Monday for the house. Don't know how they went as I haven't spoke to our realtor but we're 'thinking positive'. The ad hasn't come out in the paper yet (next week hopefully) but it is on the Internet with photos so maybe next week we might get more showings. Chad is hoping for an offer later this week, but that's a little too much positive thinking!

The boys are crazy with energy these days. I feel bad because we haven't had a lot of time for them with trying to get the house ready to show. I'm hoping once we get things done enough that all we have to do is maintain, we'll have more time for them and the crazy naughty attention getting stunts will subside (notice I didn't say 'go away' because lets face it, these are my boys).

Ben gets a gold star for being such a good boy for Mommy on Monday. I dropped the older two at my mother-in-law's so I could get the house ready and he slept from 1 until I had to wake him up to leave at 5. I think he could sense I really needed to get stuff done. Last night he slept from 10:30 until 6 this morning. AWESOME!!! I love that my boys are good sleepers. Nothings worse than a sleep-deprived momma left alone with three boys all day long! Our days go a lot better if I've had some sleep.
