January 2010

Happy New Year! Still catching up...but now I'm only a month down.

Nana & Bop came down & we celebrated Christmas & presents with them.

After Lily brushed her teeth with potty water (can I just say ewwww again?), she slowed down on her crazy stunts but her vocabulary grows every day. She loves to see airplanes in the sky, sunrises and sunsets, birds, flags...all are amazing to a toddler's brain, but nothing gets her to squeal (scream is a more accurate description) in delight than to see Christmas lights. Oh, how she LOVES them!! Lots of "oohhs" and "ahhs" and "OHs"!! I'm not too sure, but if I remember right her first sentence will go down in the books as "NO Jack!" Poor guy can't get a break...
January also brought the end to Macy being the only one in her class to have not lost a tooth. We had to take her to the dentist & have 2 of them pulled because the permanent ones were in behind the baby teeth. As of today, she has another wiggly one...and we will NOT be paying $200 to have this one pulled!!! Still think the Tooth Fairy shouldn't have to come when the dentist pulls them...

The girl loves to read & we couldn't be happier...she reads before bed, she reads to the other kids, she reads in the car and at school and any time she has time (& isn't writing a story). Her fluency is great and her comprehension is even better...I'm so happy for her!
