Individual updates

Jaeli and Maysie chopped off their hair! They were tired of all the tangles.

Maysie is doing great all around. She's doing well in school and although she can be very dramatic she is doing well with her behavior. I got to have some one-on-one time with her the other day and it was very relaxing and fun. We watched a girly movie together and ate some yummy muffins!

Jaeli has been having a tough time lately at school and making friends. She still hasn't overcome losing the three friends she made in kindergarten and having them taken away from her when we held her back. She can't sleep at night and she's constantly crying about it. She said she feels invisible and so lonely. Everytime I think about it I cry for her. She is in a new program at school that is supposed to help with the shyness but I haven't seen any results yet. I am considering asking if she can be put into class with Maysie next year to hopefully help her confidence and feeling more comfortable. I just don't want to hold Maysie back from being social, but I think she'll be okay. It's just whether or not the school will let us do it.

Makenna has had a few episodes lately which is causing her to be very sneaky and hide things, as well as the attitude we get from her. But on the plus side she just got her braces off and she's very excited to be able to eat other foods again. She has a permanent retainer on the top 4 and 4 on the bottom, as well as a nighttime retainer. But she won't use that anymore when she loses a couple of her baby teeth. Which will be soon. So I'm hoping these don't cause her teeth to go back to where they were or move them considering we just spent a few thousand on them.

Jace is still struggling in school but doing better than he was last year. He just went to his 8-year check-up and no issues. We still have him on melatonin every night to help him fall asleep. The doctor said to consider looking into ADHD next year if we still see signs of it. Love his teacher, she communicate so well. And she's been a huge help to him this year. I am worried about next year and who his teacher will be. We need one that communicates very well and has great communication as well as compassion. Hopefully I can have a say in who he gets.

New Rooms... Again

Lately the girls have been fighting about what to do in their room so I thought it best to split them up again. It's usually the twins against Makenna. They're just so different and it's hard for them to get along. Mak begged me for her own room again as you can see in the picture. Since she doesn't know how to keep a bathroom cleaned, I decided to give her the room with the small bathroom. It will be her responsibility to keep it picked up. It's the biggest room of the three. Jaeli and Maysie never wanted to use the kids bathroom because she always had it so gross. They had to switch beds around though because the twins had the bigger beds... and since they're going in a small room we needed more space. So Jace gets a big bed! So far it's going well.
