Hellobee Boards

Like T-Mom, my eldest is entering Kinder in the fall. She's 5 yo... sweet, curious and full of energy!! I am loving her age right now.

She can be quiet and shy with new people but warms up after a while. She had a speech delay as a toddler, and still goes to speech therapy for articulation, but she talks my ear off all day! She loves to play with her baby sister who will be 2 yo this summer. She graduates from TK next month and is taking ballet/hip-hop, swimming and tae kwon do. She loves My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and even got my DH into watching the cartoon and helping her collect little ponies

I'm a mom to two and step-mom to two, I may fit into a couple categories too!

I'm a full-time working mom, wishing I could stay home! I'm a producer for an insurance company.
I've been married to C's step-dad for three years this October, together we're a blended family of six soon to be seven!

C is just turned eleven last month, and is the best big brother that his little sister could ask for. (his step-sisters would not agree though ) He loves to read, loves science and computers, he is his Fathers child... We've coerced him into the outdoors little by little, he now loves shooting his bow and target practice, helping his Grandpa in the vineyard, loves animals and is hoping to go hunting with his step-dad this year.

My step-daughters are eight and turning five in July. We only have them every other weekend, and we don't get to be involved in their schooling and other activities too much. They are very girly and love to shop, sing, dance, and ride their bikes.

*eta a photo of all of them, of course he's got his eyes closed though...

@SAHM0811: My4 year old Loves My Little Pony!

@runsyellowlites: My oldest really struggled with reading she ended up in an early intervention program at school and one day it all just seemed ot click and now she loves reading. I hope that is the case with G so he can enjoy reading some day!

@runsyellowlites: C has a half sister from his Dad that he doesn't know about. See what facebook snooping gets you... His Dad stopped all visitations, quit his job and all that good stuff about three years ago. It has been an up and down (with more down) adventure, but he's been talking with a psychologist/pediatrician and that's what has improved his attitude!

The girls are great girls, they love their little sister, and argue with C He'll read to them and play lego's with them but then they start fighting like brothers and sisters! I'm an only child, so this is all relatively new to me!

@.twist.: The way you described being a step-mom is perfect, that's our exact situation. Their mother makes our lives a boiling mess of stress, and I think she does it on purpose! She is the reason we don't get to be as involved with the girls as we'd like.

@StbHisMrs: Yea, I wish I could just "guess" that she was doing it on purpose, except, the truth of the matter is that I KNOW she is doing it on purpose. She is full on craaaay. It's so stressful because it affects my relationship with the boys and that makes me sad. Good thing they're pretty smart kids and they still like me (for now!).

@StbHisMrs: I felt the same way about DD dad. Abusive, drug addict, we were way better off and then he passed away. DH has been her "Dad" since she was 4 (11 now) and she hasn't really asked questions about her dad or why she didn't have one in her life when she was a baby. Some day I am sure the conversation will come up. I never met his other daugter's mother so even if she wanted to meet her half sister, I am pretty sure I would have to facebook stalk her to make it happen.

I'm just now seeing this post, and now realizing there's a board for school aged kids!

DS will be 6 in August, and he's going into First Grade this fall!
