Well it is already the 2nd week of January. Time can sure fly by around here! We had a great time at Christmas. Spent it with M's family. N & E had alot of fun. N loved having his cousins around. E loved everyone that was giving her attention. :-) It was nice to see everyone that we have not seen for quite some time. N & E were definitely spoiled. I am still going thru old toys and trying to decide what goes or stays. Some new toys are still at the top of the closet until we get bored with the ones we have. E's favotire toy right now is her dollhouse...even though alot of times its my little ponies playing in there. :-) N's favorite toy goes back and forth. He loves the Hummer with a trailer and 4 wheeler to tow. Then there is a great geography world toy that both kids love.
M has been busy with work. I have been busy with getting back into a routine and doing a winter cleaning out of the house. (Still not even close to done.) N and I are both loving that school started again. N missed his friends and you can tell he loves school. For Kindergarten we need to try to get a morning slot. He just loves mornings so much more. All morning he will constantly ask me when school is. N and I are having our ins and outs. I know one day I will look back and laugh/wonder about these days. Right now though, it is hard. He is just going thru a period of testing both M and I. I think me more then M. I think it's so hard as a parent to follow thru b/c it's not always the best solution for you as the parent (at that moment...late to something for example) but we know in the long run it for the best! And boy can he be stubborn...one day I told him all the toys would be taken away that were cleaned up. He said "okay". He didn't like it later though. :-)
Well M and I are busy looking for a new couch. Thanks to Christmas/birthday money for both of us we can seriously consider this. Which is a good thing since the one we have had since we got married (was used then too) is finally on it's last legs. At least it lasted both kids being really small. We took one day and looked by ourselves while the babysitter watched the kids. Was a nice afternoon out for us. We came up with two options then, but came to realize that one is too big. So took the kids last night and went and looked at two more places and came up with another option. The kids loved going to the furniture store (couch store as N puts it). We are still going to think about it and maybe look at another couple of places.
We are trying to potty training with E but not so good so far. Not pushing it too hard. She did pick out some little pony underwear and loves to look at them. And so far she likes to sit on the potty once in awhile but nothing so far. Not even for candy. :-) She told me the other night don't want any candy. She definitely knows her mind. If she doesn't want to do it then she won't. Not even her brother can push her to do it. :-) E is also loving the time that N is at school. She is such a chatterbox with me when we are out on errands by ourselves. It's fun to see her do stuff and talk w/o N around. Since alot of times N just takes over the conversation or play time.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Janaury and getting back into "regular" routines after all the holidays.
