What's Up?

Here are a few updates:

• Both kids are potty trained!! TJ has been for a few months and Noah for about a month. Now we need to work on naps/nighttime.


• The kids are finally in their "big kid" beds! They are doing really well! TJ stays in hers like nobody's business meanwhile Noah is up to visit her and do a few jumps and then runs back to his bed when he thinks he hears me coming. The video monitor is GREAT!


• TJ thinks that she is a doctor around here. After the car accident, she came over to me and said, "mommy, lie down so that I can fix you!" as she grabbed her play doctor kit. Any time someone has an issue, she will run into the other room to grab her med kit and demands you sit still as she checks your blood pressure (correctly I must add), temperature, ears, nose, and then listens to your chest/back.


• We are getting ready for our vacation to Anaheim! We'll be going to Disneyland twice, California Adventure, and a hands-on science discovery museum. Stay tuned for pictures in a little over a week!


• They are still talking up a storm. This does cause issues since they think they are allowed to say whatever the want whenever they want. This has been lots of fun to deal with on a daily basis. Just the other day TJ said, "Mom, I'm not in the mood for any of these games. I'm not mom." I just look at her and smile. My latest is that I tell her she is draining my energy and we'll have to think of some way to put it back. She informed me that she could be a sweetie and help clean the house. :o)


• Noah is spelling words now, knows all of the alphabet letters/sounds, and more. It is just amazing what he picks up.


• TJ is more into her art. Although Noah does have an uncanny ability to imitate almost any sound and can still sing on key. He also uses different words for songs and keeps the tune/rhythm. Right now TJ is into creating little works of art with each color. And don't you dare bother her! She'll call you out in a second for interrupting her. She'll say, "excuse me, excuse me mom. I'm coloring right now!"

I guess that's about it. We're looking forward to spring and our vacation. The kids are growing and doing really well so life is good.
