Well, a few major things have taken place in the lives of my children since my last post....for my little man Micah he has recently celebrated his first birthday, recieved his first haircut, and taken a few independent steps...and for the self proclaimed "princess" of the house (Matty)....well, she has started making the first steps towards potty training. I say she has started "making the first steps toward potty training" because at this time we have yet to really "use" the potty...right now I am pretty sure she thinks the potty is something you sit on and look at books for 20minutes before you put on your diaper and actually "go potty"...but hey, like I said...its the first steps...right...lol...another major, major, major milestone for my little princess...well, actually I guess its more for me but....the "terrible two's" seem to be declining....yay!!! I am not sure if it is simply that she is maturing and more capable of vocalizing her needs in order to get them met or the fact that I have backed off slightly and I let her do some "big girl" things on her own...like brush her teeth by herself (this one is huge for me because I am extremely OCD about clean teeth) and I even swallowed my fear, took a few deep breaths, and I have been letting her walk by the shopping cart instead of riding in it when we go for groceries (I know this sounds ridiculous, but for me it was huge...I have a tremendous fear of someone taking one of my kids!!...so in a way you can count this toward a milestone of my own as well!) I really think it is a combination of Matty growing up and me letting go of my "baby" a little....whatever it may be...it's been an amazing difference! A milestone of my own is my recent decision to go "back to school" in January to get my Master's degree in clinical counseling!! yeah, pretty excited about that one.....
To sum things up.....everyone in the house is currently "growing" and moving forward...............more details and pictures to come........................I had planned on a longer more in depth post but I have 2 active, mobile toddlers in the house and I just heard a loud crash come from the play area........sooooo ummmm....I am heading that way.......pray no one is hurt!!...lol
