Well, I haven't been doing a very good job of keeping up with my blog. I guess I'm lucky if I get at least one post a week up. This was another routine, but busy week. We had preschool for Gwynny every morning and Lily had speech therapy yesterday morning. In between I was doing errands during the day and then tutoring almost every evening. Tutoring has been going well and I thank the Lord for my small contribution to my family. It is better than nothing and I now feel like I am getting some satisfaction from my job, not like at Archiver's. The two kids I tutor are great kids. One is a first grader and one a fourth grader. They make me laugh which is very important for me.
I have been struggling with what to do with Gwynny for Kindergarten. I thought I had it all figured out and was planning to hold her back another year until I talked to her preschool teacher. Long story, short I am sticking to me guns and keeping her back another year. I would much rather she be one of the older kids in her class than the youngest. I think that will make a bigger difference in her success in school.
In the meantime, I was told that Lily would not be able to start the county's Toddler program until fall because they didn't foresee any openings. Well, Praise the Lord, I got a phone call the other day stating that Lily will be able to start on May 4th! WOW, did that throw me for a loop! Now I have tons of paperwork to get filled out by me and by her docs. It will only be for about 4 weeks but it will be worth it I'm sure. Lily will have the opportunity to socialize with other children and hopefully learn a few new things. Also it will give me a sense of what to expect for fall when she will be attending there the entire school year.
Another little tidbit on Lily she has been sitting up pretty consistently and I even caught her for the first time today going from laying down to a sitting up position using her side and her arm. It was so COOL to watch her! She is growing by leaps and bounds! She also does the wonderful flexible move that I know so many of you are familiar with and that is where she is sitting up and wants to go back into a laying position. She leans forward and swings her legs around to the sides so she is then on her belly. Amazing!
Well, that's my busy update for the week! I am hoping to post some pictures soon so you all can see how BIG she has gotten and how she has changed.

Can't wait for a few pictures. They seriously are so flexible, I can't even believe it sometimes. Lindsey now uses the same move to get back up to sitting. Straight splits, up she goes and looks at you like what? this is nothing. Glad you are enjoying some time tutoring and everything is going to work out for the girls going to school.
yes we know the flexibility moves lol. So glad to hear back from you and love the header picture
Way to go Lily! It sure sounds like she is doing great! Looking forward to seeing some pictures!!
