This is the week! I should be ovulating soon! Our shipment will arrive tomorrow at the earliest and wednesday at the latest. I'm trying to relax this time around. I don't want to obsess too much. I'm not going to worry about what I eat or how much coffee I drink! I'll just let it happen! Teenagers do it all the time! :)
Tyler was with us this weekend. He is getting more comfortable and also more defiant. It's interesting to see how our parrenting roles play out. I will mostly be mean mommy and Christina is turning out to be push-over mommy! :) He has a variety of ways to compensate for what he doesn't get. For instance, whenever there is something he wants and he knows he'll never get it (because his family doesn't buy anything) he automatically claims he doesn't like it. I feel sorry for him because that's his survival tactic. It's sad! We started a reward system this weekend. He made $5 by doing chores and listening. We let him buy a video game with his money. It was exciting for him! He kept saying over and over, I can't believe I earned this! :) very cute...
We haven't talked to his mother again about having him live with us. This weekend, we kind of planted the bug in his ear. He didn't like the idea at first, but we showed him the school he would go to and we played on the play ground for about an hour. After that, he really liked the school!
