At Home

Oh, hello little bloggity blog. I can't believe we are already half way into January and so much has been going on. It's been a fairly good month so far. We all have had only 1 cold each. Yay!

Cruz had his first wrestling tournament. He loved it. Chris LOVED it, too! There is this great feeling of excitement you experience when your child is doing something awesome. I remember us feeling this way with S's soccer. I also am so proud of them for not giving up on sports or school, even when they may have felt like it at times. And, the fact they are willing to try new things makes me a proud mama.

S has consistently started to read to us at bed time. She reads short stories and when she has trouble she is very good at sounding out words. I think the phonics we did at home and what she's learning at school is all coming together. She's not looking at reading like it's a chore- but rather now really understands what she's reading. Not sounding so much like a series of words anymore. These books are fun and there are lots of stories to choose from.

She's at her grammy's this weekend having a girls only sleepover. I know she's in heaven right now. I get to hang with my boys. It's a very quiet Friday night. The fire's going, house is clean, a movie is on (Friday movie night), and E is taking an extra long nap. Ahhh! Some times things just fall into place. Sometimes.

Long nap is over. E is an official walker as of this week. He talks and walks. Wobbly. But walks. He's only crawling when he has to. It is adorable. I can't believe he's almost one!
