It's been a little over a month since my last post, and it's been a busy one. We're in the midst of the holiday season already, which is hard to believe!
Ainslee: her months milestones are that she has finally done away with her crib. That transition was pretty seamless, but it should be when you've spent the last few months crawling out of your crib to sleep on the floor! She is working on potty training, nothing real serious other than undies around home, and pull ups; one of these days we'll buckle down on that too. Her vocabulary grows by the day, and while most people can't understand her-I can, and that just reminds me how much she's growing up. She's developed a new personality that is kind of sassy, boisterous, and doesn't listen too well-so yes, she's officially two!
Laura: she's growing up before my very eyes too, she's actually lost a little bit of her sass, and is being replaced by a more soft-hearted little girl who is set in her ways. She loves school, her days off with me, and her new found love is swimming. She has excelled from a Pike to an Eel in 3 weeks time, her teacher said it's as if a light switched and she got the confidence to go under water. Now she's a diving stick fool, and just loves being in the water. I've gotten the joy of helping in her school class a few times now, and it is so much fun to see her among her peers, and to see what a wonderful teacher she has.
Alex: he is doing really well with school. The first quarter ended and he did excellent, all S and S+'s, and his teacher said he is a very particular/hard working little boy. Somehow this doesn't surprise me at all. The transition to a new school was pretty seamless, and everyday I am so happy that we made the change. His attitude is a little less than desired these days, but it's just another growing pain. I went in the toy room to clean one day and he had written on the window with a marker: Dear Mom and Dad, I love you even wen you yel at me. Love, Alex. He's anxious for the snow to fly so he can sled, and play outside. The limbo between warm fall and snowfall is so hard, it makes the kids a little less ambitious to go and play outside if there's no white stuff to play in!
I'm really not enjoying school right now, or specifically the stats class I'm in-the teacher is really disorganized and it's a subject which I have absolutely zero interest in. You know it's bad when you look forward to your finance class just because it's the better alternative. I just keep reminding myself that after January I'll be on a downward slope to graduation in July.
I've gotten a really early start on Christmas shopping, all that's left is getting a tree and some decorating. So I'm feeling really confident in myself these days, lol. However, I don't think I'm doing Christmas cards this year, I just haven't had the organization to get some pictures of the kids. There is always next year!
Here's wishing everyone a blessed holiday season!
