The Adventures of Cayden & Keenan

We've had a busy April!

Keenan

Keenan started school and loves it. The only thing he doesn't like is circle time and cries every time. He hates sitting still and is such a busy kid so I am not surprised! He naps so well there which surprises me the most! I told the teacher I had two fears. One is that he would steal food and the other that he wouldn't nap. Of course on his very first day he walked in, walked over to a boy looked the kid dead in the eyes, reached into his bowl and grabbed a handful of his cereal. He's getting better about not taking others food and suprisingly enough he naps just fine!!!! We had his allergy panel done for food and environmental allergies. Turns out he is not allergic to dairy, must have just had an intolerance which is what we expected. We've slowly brought dairy into his diet over the last two weeks and now he's full on whole milk! There was one surprising allergy that turned out from that panel. CATS!!!!! We were shocked. He's in the high range but low end of high. Nothing to be concerned about if you ask me. The classes run from 0 being no allergy to 6 being very high (100+). But class 4,5,6 are all very high. He fell into 3 which is "high" but ranges from 3.25 to 17.50. Keenan was 4.35. We've just upped our vacumming and have been keeping the cats out of his room.

Cayden

Caydens ever so long hair that I love needing a cut. It was just getting stringy. We got 3 inches taken off and it looks so much healthier. She had a harder time adjusting to Keenan going to school then he did. She was so afraid he'd be upset and her little heart was breaking. Her teacher told me she had to check on him several times the first day. She's a little mother sometimes. Keenan pulls her hair and constantly tortures her making her so mad at him but at the end of the day she doesn't like him to ever cry or be upset. We took Cayden to her very first circus. It was interesting. She really only cared about the animals and was bored by the acrobat acts. She loves the animals and thought the elephants were the best part! She got to be star of the week the past week at school and was the special helper all week, got to pick a movie to bring in on friday for the end of the day and brought home "Charlie" the school bear for the weekend. She's starting to try to read by sounding out every word she sees.
