So today is my anniversary. Seven years ago today I married my husband. Yes, October 13th, and on a Friday no less. We were crazy. \ud83d\ude42 It doesn’t seem like it has been seven whole years, and at the same time I can’t believe it has only been seven years! Sometimes I can’t remember life before Kimball and TJOM.<\/p>\n

So for fun today we took TJOM to the library. TJOM1<\/a> wanted to pick out some chapter books and a book about sign language. She amazes me. She knows more sign language that me. She reads as well as I do (well, almost). And she figures out stuff I thought for sure were still years away. But that’s my kid. Amazing.<\/p>\n

At the library, TJOM2<\/a> announced he needed to go potty. This is wonderful news, as he’s still in diapers and I’m truly dreading potty training. But if he is interested himself, maybe it won’t be quite so bad! So anyway – TJOM2 announces he wants to go potty, so Daddy took him. And amazingly, he went. That’s twice in two days. All his own idea. I guess maybe it’ll be time for potty training sooner than I thought. They grow up fast!<\/p>\n

TJOM3<\/a> made sure we all knew she was there. She has become rival to TJOM2 for "Strongest Set of Lungs" in the family. So of course we spent the time at the library trying to keep her from screaming louder than a whisper. Not likely to happen, but hey – I try to believe my kids know how to be quiet. It makes it easier to convince myself that WE are not the reason nobody can hear in church.<\/p>\n

Speaking of quiet, we played The Quiet Game at lunch today. Twice. And I won. Twice. Not surprising, I guess.<\/p>\n

Well, nap time is over and (as usual) TJOM are calling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
