It's naptime here in our house. Caroline is sleeping peacefully with all her little stuffed animals cuddled up to her and Hannah is quiety playing in her bed. Hannah thinks that it's time she gave up naps but I won't let it happen yet :) Naptime is my down time and also the only quiet time that I have to do my school work. I figure it's fine if she doesn't want to sleep but it's important for her to have quiet time as well!
We are potty training Hannah and she is doing GREAT!!! It has been 5 days now and she has had maybe 3 accidents. It's amazing. She was definitely ready and I am so proud of her. The only times that she wears diapers now are for nap/bed time and when we are not at home- all other times she is in big girl panties and she thinks it is fabulous. She woke up at 7:45 this morning and was in big girl panties until 2:00 for nap- 6 hours with no accidents- although I do believe she used the potty over 30 times :) I am not sure if she just can't control her bladder yet or if she likes going a million times to get prizes- The prizes would be my guess :) She gets two smarties every time she goes and sometimes special prizes like candy bracelets and marshmallow bunnies. After she uses the potty she says, "I did it! Special prize?" It's precious.
Caroline is learning how to walk. I can't believe my baby is growing up!! She took 4 steps yesterday. She took her first step on April 24th. I can't even imagine what life will be like when she can chase after Hannah- crazy, I'm sure. She gets a huge grin and is so proud of herself when she does it- and might I add a huge TOOTHLESS grin. Still no teeth for little care bear, although she is cutting her lower left tooth- I can feel it under her gum but it still hasn't popped up yet. Hannah is concerned that she won't have teeth in order to eat her birthday cake.
House update- Looks like we will more than likely be closing on Tuesday, May 5th. I was really hoping for this coming Friday, the 1st but it doesn't look like everything will be done in time (paper work and all) It would have been nice to have an extra weekend to get work done but as long as it is no later than the 5th I will be happy! Gary requested the 5th-9th off of work so that we can have time to get work done! The first thing that we are going to do is pull down the popcorn ceilings and then paint them. There was a grease fire in the kitchen so the ceiling was black and then they painted over it with BRIGHT white paint so we would have to repaint all of the ceilings to get them to look normal and we figured while we were at it we would just pull down all of the popcorn. Hopefully we won't regret our decision- lol. The next thing we will do is carpet the bedrooms and hardwood the family room/dining room/kitchen. Then we will move in and do a little each day- painting and lots of yard work. My sister in law is going to help us with our yard work and I am very excited about it because her yard is beautiful :)
Well, I am going to go relax a little bit and the perhaps write my last 5 page essay of the semester! More later!
