Wow let's see...what is new? Life is clicking along. With this weather the winter is not dragging along. That is so nice, but I haven't even gone to the Botanical Center because I am not desperate yet. I may need to just get a day on the calendar!
Elise is walking now. Hip Hip Hooray! I don't love the crawling stage. I think that babies are so much happier when they learn how to walk. I think (fingers crossed) that we have landed on rice milk for the little lady. She is sleeping better now and her eczema is almost gone. :) Between pointing, signing and the few words that she knows she communicates all that she wants to us. She is sweet, but my what a temper she has! Don't expect her to back down.
Reuben is hugging three. I like three. They say such funny things. He doesn't know how blessed he is to have Audrey as a big sister. She has taught him how to play house quite well and they play and play and play. It is pretty cute at our house church he has another little friend, Olivia, and the two of them play puppies independently. They are so funny to listen to!
Audrey, Audrey...is still hanging on to her nap, but she will skip once or twice a week. The bad news is so will Reuben. I am afraid that I have quite the shock when they both give up their naps (gulp) together! I know, I know most kids don't nap past three, but how sweet it is to have a little moment in my afternoon! I school with her when she wants too. She learns so much from listening to Jonah and I that I am not worried about her academics!
Jonah is learning and creating all the time. I slowed his curriculum way down, and he did really well. Then after Christmas he took off again and his reading has improved noticeably! That is one of the benefits of homeschooling, getting to go at the student's pace. I looked ahead, we were going to be done with his curriculum early so we are going to take a few weeks and do a unit using the children's novel "Mr. Popper's Penguins." We start next week and are both excited!
Jordan is working like a crazy man. He and I are both trying to get in shape and have been hitting the gym. We have mixed feelings because we like working out, but it is taking a lot of our time. We may end up just getting an elliptical.
See, nothing earth shattering going on here on our corner, but I kind of like it that way!
