This is very long overdue. We tackled potty training and won! Aiden is an A Plus at using the big boy potty. I think I annoy him by asking him too often if he has to go but he has had very few accidents, usually when he is in timeout or upset about something.
We went to Florida for Christmas break. This was a rough trip. I went down early with the kids. Matt stayed home to finish up a few things only to come down with appendicitis. He ended up joining us in Florida but was not able to enjoy the freezing cold weather as he was pretty much recovering on the couch the whole trip. Thank God we survived that one. The highlight of our trip though was seeing our cousin, Charlie. He was scared of us at first but then he thought we were pretty funny. We miss you, Charlie!
Ellie is all over the place these days. She is keeping up with her brother and has learned to fight back when necessary (or when not necessary). She is talking like crazy and although we don't understand everything she says, she understands everything we say!
We just got back from a quick getaway back down to Florida. This trip was much more exciting. The weather was great and we could not keep the kids away from the pool. Aiden is swimming by himself and Ellie has no fear when it comes to jumping in the pool. We had a blast! Aiden starts soccer this weekend with his "friends". This should be interesting...
