Update on kids

I forgot to add some exciting news! Lily came inside one day from playing outside with Jacob and said, " I go potty." Totally caught me off guard!! So, I have been randomly letting her just sit there and practice.....mind you she is only 20 months. Then last night, Thursday, she was in the bath and got out and said "potty". Then she went and peed!!!!!!!!, got back in the tub, washed her hair, got back out, peed again and was finally done. I was pretty much just stunned because she has done this on her own. Her older sis and bro are great examples and I'm sure that has a great deal to do with it. I'm just so not ready for her to be potty trained already! It would be nice but she is our last and I'm really trying to savor every moment. I have been and will continue to ask her if she wants to potty only a few times during the day...no pressure if she does not want to. I won't hold her back if she is ready to start something new....like sleep in a big bed...she is doing great with that by the way! It's so exciting and sad to me. Wher has the time gone!

Sara entered a drawing contest at school and won 3rd place for her picture. She has confidence in herself as an artist...did not get that from me!......and is also getting all A's and 1 B. She loves writing stories that are most of the time hilarious and make me laugh a lot. I need to post her latest story....will get to it later. She is a great helper with chores and the running of our home. She is a speed reader and likes to read chapter books....now that, she did get from me! Her adult teeth are growning in and it looks so wierd! 

Jacob is awaiting Kindergarten everyday. He asks me every morning on the way to pre-k if he gets to sign up for K yet and if he gets to be a new student yet. It makes me tear up to think of him in kindergarten. He is so easy going yet he is sensitive to the girls (mom, sara, lily) and considerate of our feelings. He gets upset easily by us....I can't blame him...we are a crazy bunch of girls he spends all day with! He is going to be a great husband a father one day.....as soon as he realizes that he can't marry me or Sara !

That's about it for an accurate update! Later!
