hello ya'll! Welcome to my Moody Family Blog. As the representative for our family I will be writing in here stories about our family and all our noteworthy activities.
Our whole family has all thier birthdays in a 5 week period.
Bens May 7th
SamyaRoses May 14th
Toshs May 27th
Gwens June 9th
So there you have our family. SamyaRose is four. She has her mothers brown hair with her dads straighness and her mothers green eyes. Tosh Benjamin is 3 now with his birthday only days ago. He has blonde hair like his father did when he was young, with beautiful blue eyes.
Our current situation is this: Tosh is having troubles potty training. He is deathly afraid of the potty. He won't even go on a small toilet. He has absolutely no interest in getting rid of his diapers although now he tells us when he needs to be changed and he also likes wearing big boy SpongeBob underwear.
He is a little behind developmentally. He says a few words that everyone can understand. Then he has a few words that only mom and dad can understand. the rest is mumbo-jumbo and Tosh talk.
Samya did the same thing when she was learning how to talk. it took her a little while to figure out how to correspond with other people. Potty training for her was a cinch. She took to it like a metal to a magnet. Now we are waiting for her preschool to start in August so she can be around other little kids who will help her with all her social skills. Right now, if there are children at the park, she won't go play. she will watch them but is too shy to say hello or play near them. We are working on counting and colors with her right now. She currently counts like so: one through ten she has down, then its 11, 14, 17, 18, 19, 11, 14,etc, etc. I think it's cute but as her mother she doesn't do much that isn't cute to me.
a lot of people don't realize how crazy the schedule is for active military. My husband is currently gone on duty, which is 24hr work for him. He left this morning at 9am and will return home at 9am tomorrow morning. They get the following day off but it messes up his sleep schedule. Not to mention the kids and I don't get to see him all day. These things are common in the Army, without any prior warning too. I guess the life of an army wife is too last minute for me.
I applied for a position on base at the hotel but I guess it is an open position so who knows when they'll be doing interviews?! Ben encourages me to do schooling while he's in the army but my problem is school itself. I am not good at it. plus I can't decide what I want to do with my life. Being a mom is all I ever wanted to be. Never thought about afterwords before.
any ideas about what I should do for schooling?
Craigslist has been good to us lately. We have sold Ipods and random household items on there and gotten our dog from there. If I remember I will post pics of our little chocolate chihuahua as soon as I find my camera again. I am sooo good at losing things. Too bad I can't make that into a career.
Well that's all that is going on with our Moody family for now. I'm sure I'll be back again soon as I find my days empty here and there. Thanks for reading. talk to you soon!
