We had a wonderful Christmas full of fun and canceled parties. We were supposed to have a party for Ridgedon's Joy School but with one girl out of town and another one sick we decided to postpone the party. Then our good friends were hosting a Christmas Eve dinner party but their whole family came down with some super fun sickness and their son ended up in the hospital with a fever that wouldn't come down. So, that party was cancelled and we stayed home as a family of 6 and enjoyed the time together.
The family got a Wii for Christmas and Jason and I wanted to make sure it worked so we stayed up WAY too late "testing" the nintendo and you can all rest assured that it works just fine. haha.
Islay spends most of her day being held and she spends maybe an hour total each day not in someones arms. This is in part because I have 3 little people who love to hold and kiss their new sister. I have to admit that I am reluctant to help her grow up. With all the other kids we did lots of tummy time and interaction to help them reach major milestones. But with Islay, I find myself content to let her stay little for as long as possible. I know she will grow up regardless of my efforts but I really don't want her to do it earlier than
The kids are all adjusting as well as can be expected. Dyson is doing just fine and has stepped into the role of big brother to 3 sibblings just fine. Ridge has felt a little displaced I think and has acted out by fighting with Rori. Rori retaliates to Ridge and I have about had it with their fighting. I am working on giving them each individualized attention and today that seemed to help.
We have been enjoying the time we have gotten to spend with Jason while he's been on break and I loathe to see it end. Come Monday school will be in full force for all my men. It will just be us girls at home during the day.
