Hi again,
Just wanted to give a quick update since a lot has been going on here lately. Firstly, I can’t believe I didn’t mention this awhile ago, since it is big news… B is out of diapers. Yeah! ! Well, during the day that is (he still wears a diaper over night). About a month ago our caregiver decided it was time, and introduced potty training. I must be oblivious to the signs that kids are supposed to give you to let you know they are ready. Because I saw no sign B was ready, and yet it really only took a couple of days for him to leave diapers behind, so he clearly was (ready). I can’t tell you how excited I am to have no more kids in diapers. :-)
In other big news, the girls got bikes today. Their birthday is in two weeks, and we had already told them they were getting bikes for their birthday, so when we picked up the bikes today there just really didn’t seem to be a point to trying to hide them (yeah, good luck with that if we even had wanted to hide them) until their birthday. So, they had their first ride today. It was a short ride (at least shorter than they wanted). By the end of it they were starting to get the hang of it, but they will need some more practice yet before they truly master it.
When we decided to get the girls bikes, we started looking around at them in stores and everywhere we went B was very enthusiastic about the bikes. We told him many times that he was not getting a bike, but somehow I doubted that that little bit of information had truly made it into his brain. Well, despite my fears, B handled it better than expected. He made it clear he expected one too, but got over it pretty quickly. And while his sisters were out learning how to ride a bike, B contented himself with playing with bubbles…
Happy spring everyone! Take a moment in the next week or so to truly enjoy the long days, because they start getting shorter again in a week.
K…
