I'll save you all from my sobb story about why i habent been writing and all that fun stuff...and cut to the chase.
Leah.
She's 100% amazing. Getting smarter and cuter and more beautiful everyday. She's certainly growing. And so is my heart. I am so filled with love for this little one. The things she says, "kank you mommy, helping me", "pease help me mommy", saying "sorry" when she is in someones way or just 'thinks' she's in someomes way. That adorably heart melting little voice. I could listen to her talk for ever.
She will be exactly 2.5 at the end of June! I can't believe it. How fast time goes by. How much they change. Everyday they are changing.
Bath time.
Thank baby Jesus its getting better. We tried the shower for about 2.5 weeks. She was pretty uncomfortable in there. We tried a bath a few days ago and she cried for about 10 minutes. I was heart broken, but I knew this had to stop. Daddy and i sat there next to the tub with her the entire time. Eventually after we let her cry for a bit, some distraction worked to help ease the tears. And to my surprise, she washed herself and let me wash her hair (which used to be the worst part) without crying. We decided on pulling the plug after she was out of the tub. So the last two times she has had some fun in the tub, and not as many tears. And of course, all the toys need to be thrown out before she leaves. You know, just in case they happen to go down the drain. No really. That's why. Well, her reason anyways.
So this, my friends? Is us getting somewhere.... and i hope we'll be back to where we were with bath time in a couple months or so.
Potty training.
Yes, it is still a topic and still in progress. Only during the night of course ;) And I'm proud to announce that my big girl is almost trained through the night. She usually pees before bed, and sometimes she will wake up for a drink. Depending on how much she drinks, she may have a little in her pull up in the morning. But most mornings, she wakes me up at 6-7am running into my room doing a little dance saying " ake up mommy! I pee I pee!" So, obviously there's so gradual wake up around here anymore. I pretty much have to jump out of bed and get her on the potty.
I'm so proud of her. In more ways than I can say.
Me.
Well, things haven't gone as planned in the sahm department. Things are pretty tight at the moment. A little to tight for comfort. So, I'll be looking for work in the near future. There are thing we want to do this summer as a family and with friends. With me working it may be a little more difficult, but without me working it will also be difficult. So, sadly, I'll be going back to work. I just don't know where or when. But I'd love to look and get in somewhere that I actually want to work. Somewhere where I'll like to work. I'm hoping a children's store of some sort. Clothing, toys... whatever. Although, there isn't too much of an option here. I think there might be a couple places.
As for the weight loss thing.... I haven't weighed in yet, but I feel it working its magic! So, I'm happy and excited about it!
Us.
We're planning a family trip to the African Lion Safari on or around June 20. I'm unbeleivably excited! This will be Leah's first zoo-type experience! So many pictures to come!
Last week we took Leah swimming for the first time this year. She loved it. She even started kicking and moving her arms. And now, its something we 'plan' to do every week. And perhaps in the fall, we'll sign her up for some swim lessons!
****
No matter how hard times have gotten, love is flowing through this house at an all time high. I'm thankful for what we do have, and what God has done for us. It doesn't go unnoticed.
