The Life of a Mom!

So I am actually excited to have started this blog not only for KeKoa but for my Family! I am going to be using this as a journal as I feel it will be easier for me to update and it just seems to help lift a weight off my shoulders! I hope I am not the only one that feels this way but last night my boys seem to be tag teaming on who will care next through the night! After waking up a total of 8 times through out the night I felt like hiding under my pillow and not moving ha ha terrible I know! Well Kekoa is like clock work and always wakes up at 6 a.m. sharp no matter how many times he woke up during the middle of the night or regardless of the bed time, so at 6 a.m. lets just say I wanted to run away and hide!! The morning starts with Koa sopping wet, which he has twisted kidneys and he has just been having a rough go, I mean he is constantly wetting through the diaper with in the hour he has gotten a new diaper,so we have to change his diaper at least four times through the night and if he wakes up which is often the only way to get him to stop screaming and go back to sleep is give him his sippy cup with propel or he wont go to sleep and SO BATH TIME IT IS!! Koa loves his baths he would stay in them all day if he could, he gets very upset if that water is not a certain temperature and he has to have all of his air planes and fishes in the bathtub with him! He loves to line them up on the tub and then push them onto the floor, so my floor is completely drenched with water and he gets very upset when we interrupt. Well because Koa was in the bathtub Jayla of course had to join him right! Also I was told it would be beneficial for Koa to have a set morning routine, and I am not good with set routines I just like to go with the flow and I get distracted very easily, so this will be good for me and a great challenge! So I guess bath time will be apart of this morning routine but its just the process of getting him out of the bathtub that will be a complete challenge! I am trying to have Jayla start picking out her own outfits which are hard when they dont always match but I want her to be able to make her own choices, which she is very persistent about making her own choices. The challenge I am having with Jayla is getting her to be able to go the bathroom with out me always helping her but I feel like its hard cause she likes the attention of me having to stop what I am doing to take her to the bathroom. So I decided I would reward her a coin every time she goes the bathroom by her self, she has this piggy bank that is a Disneyland piggy bank so she thinks every time she puts a coin in there its helping her save money so she can go to Disneyland which I do like that because it teaches her how to save money. So it was working for a while but now she waits until the last second to run to the bathroom so then she cant pull her pants down fast enough so yes accidents and more laundry for me hooray!! So now I am trying to figure out how to help her want to go potty by her self but make it on time and its so hard to get up set with her cause she looks at me bat's her eyes and says oh mom it was an accident ugh why are kids so cute sometimes when you just want to get mad at them! Breakfast was nice this morning though for once though, I decided to play the Mormon messages for the kids to watch on the iPad while we ate which they loved, although gets complicated at times because Koa only wants to watch the same two over and over again and has an emotional breakdown when its Jayla's turn to pick, so when things happen like this Koa gets violent he hits me alot and it use to be really hard not to want to hit him back but now it just makes me sad cause I know he just is frustrated and its sad to see him get that way, he will literally start biting me and not let go its pretty bad and hard to explain, I was bite about 8 to 9 times today! Kai is crawling every where which means more fun crazy chaos! Honestly though I love that he is moving he always makes me laugh cause he always has a smile on his face! He started this little evil laugh today that is to die for ha ha! He loves to be around his brother and sister, and he tries really hard to play with there toys which makes me laugh cause Jayla and Koa do not like at all! Jayla dose have a baby doll though that she named baby Kai which is so adorable to me, she made me fill a little bottle with milk so she could feed it and we gave it a binky and she loves to put him her baby doll to sleep I had to make her a bed! To be honest I never ever thought Jayla would do this with a baby doll because she has just never been interested in all the girly things and to say that I love that she is now showing interest would be an understatement! She asks me everyday if she can go to dance class and I love it, it makes my heart melt! So my phone calls with doctor's also took place today as well, I was a little frustrated with my pediatrician because he told me Kekoa has to be seen by the hematologist in rexburg which yes you would think that would be a good thing but the thing is its easier to have all of his specialists at Primary Childrens cause they can all work together instead of me having to repeat my self to a million doctors what the hematologist is doing or thinking and then getting them to communicate with each other is even ten times hard but right now I dont have much of an option, the only way for Koa to see a Hematologist at PCH is if the dr in rexburg believes he needs more advanced care and testing! Then trying to schedule his sweat test for cystic fibrosis is a Joke and don't ask me how they are even going to make that work on a two year old but somedays this stuff is just so frustrating on top of Koa not taking a nap because his blanket is in the washer and yes people he will not sleep with out this blanket and I cant find the same blanket any where! Then he starts limping today and cant walk an want stop crying and his legs are red every where and now hes vomiting and is screaming in pain cause his bum and legs are red and so hot I have never seen anything like it and if he toots he screams bloody murder. He gets to the point where I cant even comfort him and he will not poop sitting down  and now we are back to square one with no help but him having a panic attack but wish me luck he is screaming again so looks like my five minutes are up ha ha, but I am grateful to blog to reflect on my day and be grateful for the little things is what matters most!
