Bits of Sunshine | February 2021

The snow day brought on this blog, but it was time for a little 'Bits of Sunshine' update. We're currently iced in our house as I type this, but besides that all is good. The boys are enjoying this time not just having each other, since Roman is normally in school, but also having their daddy home too. It's been round after round of 'hide & seek' daily.

Holidays have came and went with a lot of vlogmas and activities which is why I haven't typed one of these up in quite some time. Since the new year has started it been a constant routine/schedule which has left me drained and in need of me time. I think we're all benefiting from this break.

Axel is a singing machine these days. He sings the 'ABC song,' 'hot cross buns,' and any 'Hamilton' song all day. He's also our little nudist as it is so hard to keep clothes on this child. I swear I dress him 38352 times a day. He loves learning new things and keeps up with his brother pretty well. When bubby is at school most days Axel isn't here either, but our friendly Spiderman is. He is suited up and zooming through the house with spiderweb sound effects. I can't believe my youngest will be 5 in less than 3 months. How?!

Roman is a machine in general. This boy has powered through 1st grade like a champ and I couldn't be prouder! He is kind, listens, and is incredibly smart. I love hearing his chatter about his day at school as soon as he jumps in the car every afternoon. We're using this break to get valentines and his box made since we're iced in and his party will be delayed til next week. This year has been finding the balance of being there and present while not being able to attend any school event due to the pandemic. We try to make any and every activity at home a special one that has to do with school so he doesn't feel left out when going to school. We've had "family projects" every month that helps too. We have now made a turkey, a Christmas Tree, and now a Valentine's heart. I couldn't leave this blog without saying since the last Bit's of Sunshine post in October, Roman has pushed himself in Taekwondo through classes to testing and is now a Camo belt! Due to holidays and breaks this has been the hardest on him, but I'm so proud he pushed through. There were no tears this time as he performed his yellow belt form, weapons, self defense, and jump kicked a board in half!
