Going to try this out...

So being a mom for the last 6 years has been interesting. Way much harder than I ever thought it would be. Course I make it hard for myself, as everyone else tells me. I just want the best for my kids... even if it means there's too many sacrifices. I have the sweetest 6yo boy and a spitfire 2yo girl. Maybe we'll have more kids later or maybe not. I won't be ready for another year or two at least. I want a bigger house first and AJ reading and Emily potty trained. I wanted to do this so I could keep a record of the cool stuff these kids do everyday. So today's....
AJ- Counting up to 15 without help 80% of the time. Numbers are NOT his strong point but he likes to add. Go figure. He knows all his letters by sight and most of the sounds. He can write all the letters well except for C's, G's, and S's. The curves just get him. He surprised me by starting to say blends w/o sounding them out first! So reading is getting better every day. Hopefully he can start first grade work next year without much trouble. I don't want him to struggle but I want him to have a challenge too.
Emily- Oh where do I start?? 2 going on 20. She already argues with me while smiling. She knows I have a hard time scolding her when she smiles! She's into everything but so sweet. She started saying I love you, Sorry, and Thank you at the right times. She loves Mama Mia songs and understands YouTube gets her video clips of the songs. So now she climbs up into my desk chair and begs for "Coming, Coming". Which is either Honey, Honey or Gimmie, Gimmie from the movie. No idea but I know that she wants Mama Mia. Everytime she see's the commercial she flips out and starts dancing. I love her little hip dancing. She's really giving me fits about potty training and weaning but oh well, I'm not in that big a rush for either. I just want her to slow down on the nursing. Having to sit every hour while she gets her fill bugs the heck out of me. Especially when there's a million and 2 other things I need to do! One day she'll be done and I'll be sad... just have to remind myself of that!
