man am I a slacker

Next week my baby will be five months old. The only picture of him on this blog is the picture of him with his dad and brother when he was five weeks old. Unfortunately it is not happening tonight.
With school being in session I seem to run a lot. I take Monkey to school at 8:00, take Bub at noon, pick Bub up at 2:45 and wait at the school until 3:00 to pick Monkey up. And in the middle of all of this I have to take care of Bear.
I spend a lot of time sleeping these days. Probably not the best thing in the world for me, but nursing is more exhausting to me than being pregnant. It doesn't help this time around that I have a two older children that are going to school.
Monkey loves school for the most part. He does struggle some days with doing the work they want him to. He hates to do things over and over. He already knows how to color so does not think that he needs to color at all. Simple addition and subtraction is also getting to be like that. He reads so well and enjoys it. He also enjoys being read to.
Bub LOVES preschool. I has been so good for him to go and interact with the teachers as well as the other kids. I have to sign him in and out but he wants to get out of the car and go by himself like Monkey does. He wants so much to be like his big brother. He is also so much more social than Monkey.
Bear is almost five months old. He is very content to lay on his stomach or his back. He turns himself around, but has no interest really in rolling. He has rolled from his front to back as well as his back to front so he can do it. He is the most content child I have ever seen with being on his stomach. He is such a happy baby. Today I had him sitting by himself for 30 seconds at a time. His brothers are so good with him and hate to have him crying. He is such a blessing in out lives!
