It seems like I am doing these catch up posts a lot these
days! There just is not enough hours in the day to keep up with everything
especially this time of the year when things really seem to pick up.
So, since my last post…
5/22/12- My mom and I took Leah, Amber, Thea and Delila to
the Mall of America for some fun at Nickelodeon Universe. It was the first time
Amber was really able to ride the rides and she had such a great time. She
really is an adventurous soul.
Memorial Weekend was spent at the lake with my parents, Dan,
Tiff, Thea and Delila. We had a cold, rainy weekend, but the girls didn’t seem
to care. They all love the cabin! The love the water, the love the fish, they
love the fire, they love being outside, and best of all they love being
together!
6/2/12- We spend the day celebrating a lovely 8 year old's
birthday! Kaylee, Leah’s good friend, a friend I hope she has forever turned 8.
Hard to believe they are growing so fast. Kaylee is the oldest daughter of our
very dear friends, it is so great that Leah and Kaylee are friends. They also
have another beautiful daughter, Kaysee (my goddaughter) who will be forever
friends with Amber if their mommy’s have any say in it!
6/7/12 – Leah’s last day of first grade. It is so hard to
believe that my first born is a second grader. So, she is doing well in school,
but she is a social one and could be doing better if “she worked to her
potential!” Apparently, she likes to talk to her friends and she likes to pay
attention to everything that is going on in the room. The great thing, though,
is that she is always the first to help when another child is in need of
assistance. I am proud of how she is doing, and I hope that we will be able to
help her reach her potential!
6/7/12 – Amber’s first day of no accidents. So, after the
first potty training trial ended with a yeast infection, we were ready to try
again. Amber started back in underwear on 6/3, and only 4 days later was a
potty pro. Okay, not a pro, but getting the idea. She has #1 down, but is still
working on #2. A small set back on Friday when she came down with a stomach
virus, but she seems back on track today. She even used a public toilet (in the
family bathroom at the mall – they have a child size toilet)! She would not use
the big toilet in Kohl’s.
Some other fun stuff about Amber since I haven’t updated on
her accomplishment:
*She is a talking pro –
my favorite Amberism: “I hold you”
when she wants to be carried
Amber's favorite saying: "I do this"
When told that we are out of something that she wants more of: "I see it"
*She counts to 4
*She is starting to sing the ABCs (again, just starting)!
*She loves to be outside, in the water, jumping, running,
climbing – well, just moving.
* She is the definition of a 2 year old – into everything,
and wants it her way!
