Ah yes, our house. The place we love and brought new life to when we moved in has tested us yet again. A 'slight' gas leak became a bigger gas leak on Monday. DTE came out, said it is "..your problem not ours" pointing to some leaky pipe joints. I called a mechanical contractor 4 hours of labor and $500 later, the problem is repaired. Nothing like stimulating the local economy.
On a lighter note, Gavin is walking consistently and rarely crawls. He is fast with his new found freedom and we have to become more vigilant around him. He still bears the name "Gavin the Destructor" since he will dismantle, tip over, break or mutilate anything or person in his way. He also has a very powerful left hook and isn't afraid to hit you with it. The sound of his hand smacking the side of your head makes him giggle uncontrollably. Although a bad habit, I believe his left-handed strength will serve him well when he becomes a pro-baseball player.
Raegan...well she's 3 and challenging us daily. We have to find new ways to keep her in check. She is a powerful negotiator and will low ball you every chance she gets. Molly and I have all but stopped 'giving in' to her and have been consistent on our 'time outs'. (Dad does give in sometimes when she wants to lay in the chair and rock/read a book; those days are going to be gone soon enough). Although frustrating at first- listing to the screaming and whining- we are starting to see some results. She is quicker now to stop misbehaving or doing something when we ask her to. Our biggest challenge is doing 'clean up' of her room/toys.
We toured some pre-schools for Raegan and will be making a decision on where she will be going soon.
