Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mother's Day! We had a great day here- chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, a sweet crown to wear and a nice card, followed by a shopping trip to Lowes. What more could I ask for?

It's been a long time since I last made a post. Here is an update. Bright's 2. Bright is two years, 2 months actually. He can count to 20, knows all of his letters and can tell you what most of them stand for (A is for apple, etc). He is a nonstop chatterbox with a bit of a stutter right now. His vocabulary is pretty diverse- he uses words like combine(the tractor), connect, trench, humus (for planting), mulch, plaster, actually, probably, if you... then... kinds of sentences. Seems a little advanced to me. I think the stutter comes from having so much to say and wanting to say it all at once now. Not much action on potty training and that is okay since we are still working on getting our house ready to move into- one less thing to have to worry about and focus on would be nice. We did swimming lessons at the college pool again and he loved it this time since he can actually stay in the water longer without getting cold and understands the directions now too. He is sleeping better and more independently- no longer do I have to hold his hand for almost an hour until he falls asleep. I can sit on his floor for a few minutes while he talks or sings and then slip out. Usually he calls me back in to cover him up or talk about his day but he is way better than before. Molars (2 year) are coming and he can be a bit touchy lately but overall he is happy and hilarious. He understands jokes and tries to tell his own. He is into pretend play as observed with him playing with his firetruck one day and saying" What are you doing firetruck? Oh, I'm just firing". He still goes to playgroups three times a week, but we haven't been consistent with storytime lately. He weighs 30lbs and was doing most of the 3 year old activities at his last checkup. That's all in a nutshell.
