Hello everyone! No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. Yes, you're finally seeing an updated post. Let's just say it's been absolutely crazy around here since school started. School is going great. I attended the Iowa World Language Association Conference once again this year and it was awesome! I came back to the classroom with many new ideas and strategies to implement. It's always refreshing to attend that conference. Jared is busy with work, attending his own workshops and getting lots of new information as well. He is also
Macy is growing like a weed--not just physically, but with her vocabulary as well. She can say anything she wants and even suprises us at times. We can see quite the little personality developing, too!
Last night:
Me: "Macy, what's Mommy's name?"
Macy: "Wensy"
Me: "Yes, that's right. What's Daddy's name?"
Macy: "Dada"
Me: "Yes, but what's his real name?"
Macy: (pause) "Peanut!" (Looks over at Jared) "Hi Peanut!" (and waves)
Did I mention she's potty trained (as of September 4th)? Well, during the day anyways. We are still doing Pull Ups at night but many times she's dry in the morning. Mom just isn't brave enough to have her go without:) I must say Macy did this all on her own. I wasn't going to push her to potty train. She came home from Sharon's on a Thursday and said to me "no more diapers," and we went with it. She knew exactly what to do. I never really had to remind her to go potty. She knew to tell us. Now, "I have to go potty" is used as one of her stall tactics for not wanting to go to bed.
Greyson is our almost 1 year old. Where did the year go? He's been walking for about a month now. He's still our laid back little man, but has finally started to show at least some frustration when his sister takes something away from him or has something he wants at any particular moment. Jared has already been playing ball with him and he can sure whip a ball around. It may not always move forward, but he does have one mean back toss.
Over the past couple months, we've enjoyed traveling back home for my cousin, Breanne's wedding, seeing friends on the weekends, and having family visit. This weekend is Greyson's birthday party. Look for another update in the near future of our 1 year old little man:)
