Irvine Regional Park

 

The time has come for Annie to start sleeping in her own bed. Homegirl still wakes up twice at night for the boob and this mama is tired. Her bed is still in our room but at least she has her own place now. 

I'm not sure what kid she is going to share a room with. Lilah wakes up for school at 0600 and we turn the lights on bright in her room so that she will wake up. 

David can sleep through the night, but I don't want Annie waking him up at midnight and then again at 6 in the morning when she usually wakes up. So, who knows when she will leave our room. 

The other day, Annie was at the sitter's and she didn't take a nap. She rarely falls asleep on me so I enjoyed the cuddles. 

I can't remember what David was showing me in my room for this picture. 

A picture of Annie's 6 teeth. The cutest little teeth. She is about to cut two more on the bottom. 

David walking in to Ms. Stacy's preschool. 

It was crazy hair day at school. 

Lilah loving on Annie as always. 

She loves her baby sister too much sometimes, hehe! 

David wanted in on the picture too. 

Lilah and I have been going to the deaf branch in Riverside. I don't know how to sign very well so I don't usually take Annie with me as I need both hands. Anywho, so Lilah got bored and stole my phone. She is too funny with her selfies. 

Someone was interpreting the speaker's talk. She is also the Primary President. She has been teaching me alot about how to advocate for Lilah and telling me that I need to have her switched to a Deaf school. Something I think about every single day. 

Sometimes when I am watching people sign, I get overwhelmed and find myself looking down. I have been taking classes every month but I still need to work on my receptive skills. 

I have been trying to be better about using more sign at home. I need to start teaching David and Annie. 

The kids love going on adventure days. This week we went to Irvine Regional Park. Last year, I won tickets for free bike rentals, train rides, water bikes, and other fun stuff at the park. We have been slowly using all of our tickets. We love this place so much. 

Can you tell little Annie was a big fan of the bike? She thought it was so fun riding in the front. 

The kids and I got on the bike together but I was too much of a tight wad so Lilah asked to go on with dad. 

As always we had a great time. We took lunch and ate it there and let the kids run around until they were too tired and cold. We can't wait to come back!
