Dear Kids:
So, nearly a month has gone by since my last blog post to you kiddos ... sorry for the delay. This 300 new foods challenge seems to take up all of my bloggin' efforts these days. ON a side note; I have given up diet soda for good. YAY for mama.
Victoria, you are so excited because you got to go shopping with your own money that you worked hard for - and buy some clothes for the upcoming Church camp. Yay. You earned money babysitting, as well as face-painting. Hopefully you'll get some more paying gigs. You are also very wonderful in helping me with my health and fitness goals, eating better and cooking better. I love this.
William, you are doing very well in playing Chess and Deflection with everyone. You seem to have that keen strategic kind of mind that does well in these types of things. You are also growing like a weed. I always hated it when people said that when I was kid, such a crazy expression, but it's true. You are growing up so fast. Blows my mind sometimes.
Thomas, I love the way you play with James and are trying to help him a lot. Victoria has recruited you to try and help us potty train him. You are not overly excited about this prospect, but I think we're wearing you down. I was looking at baby pictures of you last night on the computer, and was getting all sentimental. It is amazing to me how much you look like James.
James - you need to learn to use the potty. You seem to do everything with it - except for its intended purpose. You want to stand on it and flip it over, or put it in the cabinet, or take it apart. We were very blessed and given a great little toddler potty from a lady at Church ... now if we can just get you to use the thing properly, we'll be in business. GO James - you can do it !
Now this tired mama is going to call it a night. I imported this letters blog from my old gmail address into my new one - so that took a bit of maneuvering. Glad I did it though - because it is far more easily accessible to me now, and I don't have to sign in and out of different accounts to try and locate this blog. Maybe I'll be a little better at updating from now on. One can hope :)
Good night.
