the staggs

Things are getting better. We have switched Arden's formula and got some different bottles and that seems to be helping with her tummy problems. We have a dr appointment with a new peditrician on Monday.

Thursday and Friday both went pretty well. We are just trying to establish some sort of routine again and adjusting to our new reality!

Stratton is still giving us a hard time, but at least he is sleeping better and not getting up in the middle of the night. We were informed that he has been acting out at school (back talking) this past week. They told Jarrod on Friday that he had been better. I know he is just dealing with not being the center of attention anymore, so we are trying to be understanding and patient, but he's not going to get away with back talking and not listening. We are also trying really hard to find ways to have him help. I think if he feels like he has a job to do he will feel less left out.

The boys went to the ASU game tonight. I'm so glad that Stratton is so into football and wants to go, and he is usually on his best behavior so Jarrod has no reservation taking him. It's something that they can do together and they both really enjoy it! I think Jarrod is really proud of how much Stratton pays attention and his interest in the game and players. A couple of weeks ago out of the blue S asked him, "what is Ryan Aplin's last name?" haha. He told me that he wants to be a QB when he plays for the Red Wolves. I asked him if he would blow me kisses from the field and he said yes. . . We'll see! Haha!
