Ok...I admit it...I'm a slacker!! I can't believe 2 months have already passed since my last post. This has been a crazy, fast year!!! They say that time passes faster as you get older...I guess "they" are right!!!
Things that have happened since I last posted:
- Adam turned 32 on November 12, and I turned 31 a few days ago on the 27th. I used to think 30 was old, but I still feel SOOO young!! I guess that's a good thing?!?!?!
- Avery is completely potty trained. He actually has been for a while now, but the accidents are few and far between. He sleeps in underwear for his nap and never wakes up wet, but I am still putting him in a pull up at night. He is dry abt 85% of the time, but that 15% can be annoying at 2:00 in the morning!!! Avery is finally starting to grow, which we are happy about. At his 3 yr check up he was in the 65th percentile for his weight and 45th for his height!! He is still a VERY picky eater, but we are dealing with it. He will try more things now, and on occasion he might eat a few bites of it!! He likes deer meat, which we were very glad about!!! We have decided to go ahead and put him in preschool next year, so we are working on things such as sharing and not throwing HUGE fits, thought I have to say he will probably still be in for quite an eye opener when he does go!! I'm not really worried abt academics. He can say and recognize his ABC'S (he can only recognize the upper case letters, but I still think that's good)!!! He knows all his shapes and colors and can count as high as 25, though he still gets a little confused around 13, 14, 15, and 16!!! I am super proud of him and think he'll do just fine. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy my little boy!!!
- Lily is doing amazing in school!! She is in the GT (gifted and talented) program and the only kid chosen to participate in the spelling bee for Kindergarten. She automatically advances to the big bee with all the area schools in Harrison in a few weeks. We have been working on our spelling words and she is doing such a great job!!! Lily is a fantastic reader, and I really do think she could read ANYTHING if she set her mind to it!!! She is doing really well with math, too!! She got some flash cards for christmas and has been practicing her addition and subtraction (because she wants to, not because I'm making her!!)!!! She is loving Cheerleading!! They had their first competition a few weeks ago. They all did such an amazing job!! They got last place, but you couldn't tell it by all us moms reaction. We were just so proud of our girls!! It is amazing that 7 months ago they couldn't do cartwheels and now they are all doing backbend, kickovers, and jumps and stunts!!! It is absolutely amazing!!!
We had a fantastic Christmas!! I hope everyone else did too!!! Here's hoping that you all have a VERY Happy New Year!!
