Highlights from March 2011
This is one of the reasons I blog... it's a way to keep records of my kids, about my kids, and for my kids. It will be familiar to them to grow up in a generation where your whole life has been "shared" on line. And while I do am careful about what and how I post... I do love sharing milestones.
This past month both kids have been sick a lot. Mainly cough and cold stuff that just kept getting passed around (even to me and both grandmothers). But we are finally all getting well. Yay.
Early in March we had a service for the passing of the kids great grandmother. She had been sick for several years but it was still a very difficult loss because she was so dearly loved and super loveable. My husband was asked to pray at the family visitation and even spoke at the service the following day. He did a lovely job of honoring his sweet grandmother. We know that this is not the end but the beginning of her time in eternity. We will be together again Nanny.
WE LOVE YOU NANNY
Early Then on March 9th the baby turned 16 months old!! WOW! Where has the time gone? He's talking a lot... he says short sentences, he knows some animals and their sound, he loves to take about cars and airplanes, he loves to DANCE, and he will only feed himself (will not be fed). In month 16 he also started saying "I love you"! He melts my heart. In month 16 I've had to call poison control twice... and we now have a lovely butterfly bandage on his head. (The head boo boo took place this Sunday, March 27 and it's healing quickly!)
My Toddler is growing up fast and turning into Mr. Pre-K. He knows his alphabet and sounds pretty well and we are starting to play with some writing. We made the decision to homeschool next year! Yikes! Here we go... Whatever happens, it will be an adventure.
He's also my helper in every way. He helps with clean up, cooking, baking, clothes, trash, and most importantly right now, he's my watchdog... He'll yell, "Mom, the Baby's doing something dangerous!" ; ) He's a good big brother. They are amazing friends and love to play together! And I enjoy watching them have fun and GO at their crazy energy levels until they crash. I also enjoy movie nights with Mr. Pre-K. We enjoy the pop corn and he talks about what we are watching and gets so into it.
We are getting to know his little personality and his heart even more now. He 's learned how to pray with us at night and that's just AWESOME! He's a good kid!! We are also seeing more and more of his creative skills. He's into drawing, singing, art, play-doh, and playing different instruments like drums, recorder, piano, and his new fav -- THE HARMONICA!
