I am soooo looking forward to having no more diapers. At $45 a box, it will be nice to put that toward something else. She has been dry during naps most days but we are working on the overnight. She stayed dry one night but it is a start.
What else about Camille? She is throwing tantrums which is not fun but is part of the age I guess. We never had it with Evelyn but it is something Camille likes to do when we tell her no. Bad parents we are telling our child no and causing a tantrum. Hopefully they are short lived. We try to hold her and comfort her but that usually makes it worse.
Evelyn is doing great and becoming her own person more and more each day. She has really come out of her shell at school and has a great teacher that works well with her and Evelyn LOVES her. She is also getting more sassy and girly. She walks around in high heels staring at herself in any mirror that she can. I know, this is EXACTLY what I did when I was younger, but I have to admit it is pretty cute to watch.
She is learning to spell and write more. She can spell her name, Camille's name without any help and can write most letters all by herself. It is amazing!
The girls started swim lessons last week and they did not go well. They screamed the whole time and didn't want to go back. So bad that they would start crying as we drove to the place. This didn't sit well with us so we talked with the owner and decided to do a parent and tot class this weekend. It was GREAT! The girls were happy to go in and eventually warmed up to the teacher. Camille was blowing bubbles, going under the water, jumping off the step in no time at all. She loved it. Evelyn took a little longer to warm up but by the end she would go under without too much fight. It is nice to see them learning about the water. It feels good that they are not screaming and crying the whole time. The icing on the cake that we made the right choice was that tonight during bath they were both blowing bubbles and were ok with water on their faces (even Evelyn). This is a big step in the right direction. I look forward to the next lessons instead of dreading them.
Richard and I are doing good. I am back in school so he has the girls when I have class which isn't too bad this semester. It is my last semester. I am so excited about being done.
I am working hard trying to finish school and BTSA. I am still trying to lose weight but have gotten a little side tracked. I will get back on it soon.
We have been enjoying the nice weather by working outside in the yard, playing with the girls and going on bike rides. The girls enjoy being pulled in the trailer. We just go around the neighborhood or to the park. It is nice to get out of the house and get some exercise.
Nothing too exciting happening around here. Just enjoying the girls and the house. Trying to fix little things around the house. This house is a wonderful place to live and we can't wait to get things exactly how we want them even if it takes a while.
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Hope everyone has a great one. Tell those around you that you love them. It doesn't have to be a spouse but can be friends, kids, or family. Without their love you wouldn't be who and where you are today.
Enjoy the pictures.
