Korben got a good report back from school for the first month. He got a A in Social Studies, a B in Reading,and a C in Language Arts(English). He got a F in MAth BUT its because they said he had a missing assignment but it was in his bookbag and it was graded. SO I will have to let his teacher know that he indeed do it. He also got an F in Spelling because he dind't to an assignment (putting his words in ABC order). One day he didn't have his words and he told me that he didn't need to make it up. WRONG! SO I will make sure he has all this work done no matter what. We need to get those F's to better grades.

He also got his TCAP score back from last year. TCAP is the State testing for school kids. I forget what they are called in Ohio but I know I always dreaded them each year. MY hand would cramp up everytime I had to fill in another circle.
Anyways EVERYTHING was passed Average. He was SOOO close into getting Above Average. Many were only 2 or 3 points away. I told him that and he got really excited. He is hard on himself sometimes when he doesn't know something, particularly a spelling word or a math problem. Like me, he is having trouble with multiplication and division. I told him it will take time. Once he gets it, he will never forget it.

Julianna Funnies

While taking a shower with me on Friday Julianna decided she wanted to compare body parts. First she said:
"I have small hands, you have big hands."
"Yes that's right."
"Mommy has big legs, I have small legs."
"Right again!"
"Mommy has a BIG butt, I have a small butt! (giggle)" -Yes she emphasized BIG!
"Yes Julianna I have a big butt."
"Mommy also has a BIG chest, mine's small."
"Alright Julianna ready to get out now?"

We went out to eat this evening and before we left to go back home she said she had to go potty. The whole walk to the restroom she proceeds to say in a rather loud voice "Oh mommy I have to Poooooop!" We walked the rest of the way with me correcting her to use the word "Potty".
While on the toilet she looks behind it and sees a toilet brush.

"Mommy what is that?"
"Its a toilet brush."
"Whats it for?"
"To clean the toilet."
"Oh its the toilet's tooth brush!" (she turns and pats the toilet tank)
"Um, sort of. You think the toilet has teeth?"
"Yep!"

Milestone completed!
Trenton now rolls from belly to back and back to belly. He also got on his knees to try to crawl but ended up back on his belly. Once he is able to crawl he is going to be in everything!!! He puts everything in his mouth so all little toys (legos, doll shoes, etc.) will have to stay in the playroom or in the other kids rooms.
I have Trenton on my lap now and its extremely hard to type since he is trying to attack my typing hands. lol
This past weekend we had Matt's brother's wedding to go to. Korben was a groomsman and made a rented tuxedo look cute as ever! I will post a few pictures on here and if I know you personally you will get a link to the rest. Or just let me know if you want to see the rest and I will email you the link. Julianna wasn't in the wedding but she was just as cute with her flowery dress.
I am getting Trenton on solid foods more and more lately. He does not like any rice or oatmeal cereal. So I am just mushing up bananas for him and then pureeing veggies for him. So far he likes green beans and bananas. We are going to try carrots in a bit. I ended up getting that KidCo puree machine. Before that I bought a hand puree and it sucked! My hand and wrist hurt so darn bad that I refuse to use it until he is able to eat very textured but not pure solid food. That darn thing just can't puree like the KidCo can.
Alright need to end this now. The two oldest are driving me nuts and I am getting drooled on by Trenton.

Trenton is 5 months old today! Above is a little video I took last week. I think he is our happiest baby ever. ANYTHING will make him laugh but he is also sensitive. You scare him, he will cry in pain. He will put out that bottom lip and just cry, until you can comfort him and try to calm him down. He is still nursing like a champ, but going for longer durations now. He has tried a few foods, HATES any type of baby cereal but LOVES to munch on bananas and frozen peaches. I bought a net feeder that you put in solid foods and infants can munch on the netting and it will turn to mush practically.
He has been waking up almost every night for the past week. I think its time to reintroduce cereal after dinner time. He wakes up and nurses for a while then falls back to sleep. Of course I fall asleep too, on the couch or the recliner. Its killing my back, I need to get back to bed right after he is done nursing. I will not bring him in bed with me though. I did that with Julianna from when she was a newborn and it took almost 3 years to get her out of our bed. NEVER again.
A little funny thing that happened today:
Julianna was playing on my Nintendo DS and was trying out Cooking Mama game. If you have never heard of it, you make all kinds of dishes. You have to prepare everything, like shop up onions, mix ingredients etc. I am sitting right beside her and I hear "OH CRAP!" I turn to her and say, "Julianna we do not say Crap, its not a nice word." She turns to me and states, "No Mom CRAB!" I look down at the DS and she is trying to 'tear' a CRAB apart. lol OOPS! Of course I apologized and she just laughed.
