We are here!

I check my blog every day, but I really don't have much to say on a new post. So this is just re-assurance that we are here. :-) Here is a little update on each of us....starting with Dawson.

Dawson is not sleeping good AT ALL! lol! He wakes up randomly screaming, he won't get out of his bed anymore to come into ours. He just sits and cries, and screams, and cries, and yells DADDY!!! Even in his naps he wakes up crying for no reason. It's perfectly silent in our house, he has been asleep for 2 hours and has woke up 4 times screaming. Maybe night terrors??? I can't figure it out. He is very attached to his mom and takes an extremely long time warming up. He is in a VERY HARD phase now. Which includes
Testing me to every limit
Screaming, crying to get what he wants
Testing how many times he can get away with something after saying, "No."
Acting out violently when he is tired
answers "No" to everything
Can't make up his mind

After all of this, you might be thinking what a difficult child he is...but he is SOOOO cute too!! lol! I'm not crazy, but I love all that he is learning and does which includes

tons of new sentences and words
Mimicking everyone
Mocking me
Attitude
Reading books to me
Singing and leading music
driving
wanting to do everything like dad and be just like his daddy
cleaning up
Cooking
washing his own hair
brushing his own teeth
and potty when he wants ;-)
getting dressed and undressed
pulling at his diaper when messy
playing games with me
and he loves to hide!

J.D. is working full time maitenance manager for studio apartments across from where we live. He is going to school and taking a DAT course as well. He is ALWAYS busy! Although, he still finds time for his family here and there.

I am doing school, about ready to pass another 4 credits and am staying at home taking care of Dawson. This may not seem like a lot for our family, but it is. We are always on a do or die schedule I feel like. hahaha! Anyways, I hope everyone is doing well and we get to see everyone this summer at least once.

Brie had night terrors. They are creepy. She'd scream and sometimes talk to herself like people were in the room. She did this so many times when Steve was gone for Guard so it totally freaked me out. She was about 2 until about 8. The doc said she has no memory of it like a bad dream, they have no idea you are in the room. He said to wait it out and just tuck them back in and they would grow out of it.
