We have finally accomplished the task of getting Slade to eat something other than ramen noodles and pop tarts! HOORAY!!! We successfully got him to eat yogurt, french toast, and chicken nuggets. I know that probably doesn't seem that great but any of you that have ever seen us try to get him to eat know what a task this has been. On a funny side note he asked Ashley (our babysitter) on Monday morning where her doughnuts were and when she responded that she didn't have any he told her that she needed to go to the store and get some.
I am also looking for a preschool for Slade if anyone knows of a good one please let me know.
As for Madie she is just as cute as ever. She is such a good baby and everyone keeps telling me to enjoy it while it lasts. I might be delusional but I am convinced that she will always be cute and sweet. She is laughing so much and we are pretty sure that she is close to being able to roll over. She is also sleeping through the night now too, which I know I should be grateful for but I am secretly sad about. I find myself getting up in the middle of the night and just standing next to her crib watching her sleep. Partly to make sure she is breathing and partly because I just miss her. I really hate being away from her during the day. People keep asking me if “it is getting easier” to leave her and I think that is such a silly question, No it isn’t getting easier – I miss her every minute of every day. My one saving grace is that I have a great babysitter that really seems to love Madie and I know Madie loves her.
As for Ben and I we are still plugging along. We got Ben applied for school in fall at ISU, we are still looking for a new place to live in April, and we are really looking forward to going to Utah this weekend!
