Yeah, I'm Still Here

I promise, I'm still alive. I just haven't had a lot to post about. Other than having vertigo yesterday and my TV giving up the ghost (it was younger than Ty).

My weight loss basically stalled in the last week. For a personal and very good reason, I decided to take a break from counting my calories and being super focused on what I was going to do that day to shed weight. Long story short without all of the details, I was becoming too obsessed and weight loss is NOT something I want to become obsessed with. In the next week or two I will pick it back up a a slower pace.

I am (mostly) enjoying my new calling. It's teaching me patience and forcing me to use my new phrase ("not my problem") a lot more. I was getting stressed out if I didn't have every little detail I needed on Saturday morning until John finally told me "Just do what you can with what you have. You send out weekly reminders, so if they don't get it to you then it's their fault."

Brettley is still in glasses and is slowly learning to sit on his own. He does things at a slow rate and it's hard to know how much of it is him being a preemie and how much is his personality, as he is a very laid back child (usually).

Ty has, for the most part, mastered day time toilet training. He gets to go for a ride on the bus and LRT with Daddy tomorrow as a reward. He also gets a juice box every day that Caleb has school. He started Sunbeams this month and it will take a while for him to get used to it as he's always on the go and never wants to stop for anything.

Caleb is now in CTR 5 with a male teacher who is preparing for a mission. He isn't in the same primary class as his cousin, which I think will be great for them as they don't behave well together a lot and they are in the same Kindergarten class at school. He is learning how to read and loves it.

So yeah, I don't think too much else is new here. We're working on a plan to replace our TV. For now we'll just enjoy Netflix on our computer and phones. My vertigo is not as bad today, I'm at least functional again. So things are good.
