I tried to convince Emily today that I said Frummy, not Dummy. As soon as I said it, to a jerk on the interstate, she said it loud and clear, just like I did…oops! So then I started trying to tell her No no, Mama said Frummy, not Dummy…and she laughed and said no, not Frummy, Dummy. This went on for about 10 minutes, and I don’t think she ever believed me. Smart kid.
Ahhhh…this blog is late. I’m beginning to accept that I’m not a good blogger, so I’ll just do a catch up list like I’ve done so many other times before:
1) Bedtime is suddenly a nightmare again. I don’t know what has happened, but it’s sooo hard right now. Everything goes well until the lights go out and then it starts…coming out of the room, having to potty, pottying in the diaper, then taking the diaper off, and then putting new ones on…not wanting to lay down and go to sleep. I have started doing things a bit earlier since it’s taking them so long to actually settle down and get to sleep right now.
2) And then on the other side of that, they hate to get up in the morning too! Lol…my mornings start out with crying, kicking, whining, refusing to sit on the potty, lol..sometimes ya can’t win for losing! They just hate being woken up, I think that’s the thing. And unfortunately, I have to wake them up every day. I’ve started trying to do it a little earlier to give them time to wake up and not just rip them out of bed, but so far it’s not doing any good! Oh well, I don’t like getting up in the morning either, so I think it’s just par for the course.
3) William is finally starting to sing his ABC’s. He won’t sing them all, he knows them up until G, and he’ll say the next letter if you ask him, he just won’t say them all together yet. He’s getting there though. Colors are still not his friend, not sure why, but he’s just not really into the whole “learning” thing, lol.
4) Emily, and no offense to William, is very smart. She knows so much and she amazes me everyday with the stuff she knows. I don’t know where she learns it, I’d like to say ME, but that is definitely NOT the case. I think she just absorbs a lot, she has a great memory and just picks things up easily. The stuff that comes out of her mouth is so funny at times.
5) Potty training is…well, potty training. 90% of the time William is perfect. We are still doing diapers for naps and bedtime, though he could probably do naps without a diaper. He tells us when he has to go, and he goes “stinky” on the potty most of the time. I don’t know why he calls it that, but it works for him, so we’re going with it. Emily on the other hand..she’s about…65% I guess. She has days where she is perfect, and then days when she regresses almost back to day one. She is not pooping ever…ok, she’s done it a few times, but normally she goes in her diaper at nap, bedtime, or just goes in her panties. It doesn’t phase her one bit, ALTHOUGH, here lately at bedtime, she has started taking her diaper off when she’s wet and wanting it changed. And then of course she always wants it off if she poops. I’m sure this is way TMI, but this is my catch up blog, so this is what you get.
6) We went to the beach for the first time this year and those babies LOVED it. We had so much fun. I’m looking forward to many more weekends there!
I’m cutting things off here, and will leave you with a few pictures! Happy Monday!
We got a dinner date Saturday night, Woo-hoo!
