The most recent kid posts from the sidebar as I’m updating them again today.
In school, Erica’s class has "project" time. Yesterday she said their project was drawing what they want to be when they grow up. I asked her what she drew, and she said she drew a mommy. This is HUGE for me as up until now, Erica has been very very clear that she doesn’t want to be a mommy and that it is WAY too much work and no fun at all (which reflects badly on the way I portray what I do, so I’ve been working hard on that lately). She did qualify it by saying, "Actually, I want to be an artist who is a mommy, but I didn’t draw the hat." Which sounds just fine to me.
Isaac was sick yesterday. We got him up in the morning and he had thrown up in his bed during the night, unbeknownst to us. So daddy gave him a bath and then he came down for breakfast. He and Erica have conversations over their meals rather often, and the conversation he had with her was rather one-sided (she didn’t know what he was saying): "E-ca, did you fwow? I fwow." which was his way of asking her if she threw up because he had. And then all day long he would remind us: "I fwow, but I much better now."
Cambria has made a huge accomplishment – she has started drinking from a sippy cup! Yesterday was the first time she has actually sucked anything out of the cup without us taking out the sippy part and having it just dump into her mouth. This means we are well on our way to self-drinking, which is wonderful! Now if she’ll figure out how to tip it up herself we’ll be in business!
