A little of this and that

 Brooklyn was Student of the Month this month. Here she is at her ceremony assembly. She was so excited to be Student of the Month. She also was given the opportunity to speak at the assembly. She memorized a whole part and said it to the whole audience. I love that this school continually gives the students opportunities to practice and get comfortable public speaking. A few Kinders hosted the whole assembly. Brooklyn had a pretty big speaking part and did AWESOME!
Ok little man Ryan looks ginormous. He really isn't half the size of Weston :) I am not sure if I have mentioned how incredible Weston is as a big brother. He is so instinctively amazing with Ryan it blows me away. Any time Ryan cries, without me asking Weston tries to solve the problem. And usually whatever he does works. I knew Brooklyn would be great (and she definitely is) but Weston has completely blown me away.  
Tonight Wade took Weston to a Pro Hockey game. They had a blast. Wade loves having a son and one that loves sports as much as his daddy. Wade has had a lot of fun taking him to a few sporting events. A few weeks ago they went to a SF Giants spring training game. 
I have the best boys in the world. Having two boys makes me want to have more boys. I love love love having boys. Never ever thought I would say that.
They do look alike huh? Weston started preschool last week. He absolutely loved it and his teacher loved him. She told me she loved his confidence. 
Today Weston asked if I could turn on a Giants game for him to watch on tv. That kid. Total boy and biggest Giants Lover.
I know I have mentioned before but I am having the hardest time with three. I am fully recovered and have been for weeks, I am only waking up once a night and my kids are super easy. I have no excuses but I am big time struggling. I am insanely disorganized, late late late, crazy forgetful, low energy, zero motivation and so tired. I am definitely not making three look good. My mom and Wade's mom has reassured me that having three is a huge adjustment and that this is normal. Managing three kids, swim lessons twice a week, dance, soccer, preschool, kindergarten, RS calling, dinner, cleaning, it's all just kicking my butt. I knew three would be the hardest so far and it definitely has been. It's so bad that I am praying and praying for help.
The other day I get a call from Brooklyn's teacher informing me that I forgot her at school and that she would be waiting in the cafeteria with an aid. Yep...perfect example of my life right now. I totally spaced that it was a half day. :) 
Oh this Ryan man. Best baby ever. So happy and calm (until he is hungry and then it's an all out fit). He is so much cuter then pictures portray. For some reason he definitely does not photograph well right now. I can't ever get a good picture of what he really looks like. 
The kids started swim lessons today. We plan on living in the pool so this is going to be great. They already know how to swim on their own quite a bit but I wanted them fully swimming underwater and completely by themselves so I don't have to be in the pool with them and can sit out with Ryan.
He is starting to smile. This is the best I could get but he doesn't look like himself. He is so dang cute in person. He just has the tiniest face and big eyes. Weston says he loves the lines on his head (for head). They are pretty cute.
He was eating like 3 or 3.5 ounce bottles for a few weeks which is double what he should be for his age. Then he started projectile spitting up so the DR told me I needed to cut back the ounces and feed more often. Now all I do is feed the little monster. Like every 1.5- 2 hours. It's exhausting. But if he is sleeping so well at night I can't really complain.
I love this little guy. I don't know how in the world I lived without him. I love everything about him too. I find so much happiness being a mom. Nothing better in the world!

Three was by far the hardest for me. Heck, it still is! I can't imagine it with a RS calling on top of everything. Hang in there. :) Cute kiddos!
