"As you get older three things happen. The first is your memory goes, and I can’t remember the other two."
-Sir Norman Wisdom
When Ashlyn and James are getting along they are a lot of fun to be around. Whether they’re chasing each other around with masks, lounging in the media room playing on their tablets, or having an epic balloon fight, their laughter will fill the house. We’re looking forward to adding a 3rd laugh to the mix when Isla is older.
Isla still refuses to crawl, like many babies she hates being on her stomach. Instead of crawling she has learned to use nearby objects to reach out and grab things out of her reach. She’s beginning to scoot around a little bit though, and with a little work I think she’ll be crawling soon.
Saturday was Mommy’s birthday and the kids wrapped presents for her. Of course they immediately took the presents after they were opened so they could play with them, but it’s the thought that counts.
While Ashlyn was at gymnastics James helped decorate some desserts. We went out with friends for the evening so the kids celebrated with a post-lunch singing and candle blowing event. Happy birthday Mommy!
James is getting old enough to start dressing himself in the morning but he wasn’t quite tall enough to reach the clothes hanging in his closet. This weekend we installed a rod and he was excited to pick out and put on his own shirt. I’m glad he’s excited, hopefully this will make the morning routine easier.
