OK, it’s been a while since I checked in. Things have been busy, but not hectic. I think that’s a good indication. My parents visited this last weekend, and with the abnormally nice weather (mid-70s), we were able to get outside for some stuff. Nana, Kellie and Will also went to see Hotel for Dogs Saturday night (generally decent, according to them).
I hope my parents get to rest this weekend. They had been traveling to California the previous weekend — for my dad’s uncle’s 100th birthday. Congrats, Uncle Charles.
The kids are definitely growing up. Sean is in full-bore potty mode. We don’t even need to bribe him (like we did with Will). Not enough to keep the diaper dry, but he generally lets us know if he needs to go potty, and at daycare, where they keep him on a regular schedule, he has gone every time this week. Daniel — eh, not so interested yet.
Sean is definitely Mr. More-Independent now. He often insists on putting on his own pants and shirt (with a little not-so-obvious assistance from Mommy or Daddy). Definitely growing up. Sigh, what are we going to do?
Will is big-time into his bike now, when it’s warm enough outside. He has a new helmet that looks much better than the one before. Maybe this is the year the training wheels come off? Who knows — though he is always a little cautious about things. Will also starts weekly swimming lessons again this Sunday. That should be fun for him.
That 70 degree weather really stuck around for a while. Even today, it was in the mid-60s, though incredibly windy. Unfortunately, Punxsutawney Phil may be right in that spring isn’t coming early this year. It’s going to chill back down this weekend. I still haven’t seen a robin yet this year — that’s abnormally late, compared to the past few years. And the crocuses are just starting to pop through the ground — again, late. That January cold snap was definitely worse than normal (as my gas bill also shows). So stay warm, and keep in touch.
