My cable modem died this morning so I decided to come into the office. I didn’t really want to but I had planned on coming in some time this week so it might as well be a day I could go in late with a good excuse. Scott is off all week so he has both girls today. He called and said the guy couldn’t get my Internet working. They are trying to blame it on my router. Whatever. It just better be fixed today so I don’t have to go to the office tomorrow. I miss my girls. It is nice to be away but I hate the drive and I know Lexi is probably having a cow because I’m not there. She definitely knows when it’s me that’s holding her vs. someone else.
Lexi has been smiling and trying to talk a lot. She does her best at 5am. She does that wide mouth almost laugh that is SO cute. I simply can not catch it on camera but Mom and Dad saw it yesterday too.
Emma is a hoot! We pull up to a turn to go to our church if you turn left, the road forks. You go on the left fork to go to our church. Emma has been recognizing where we are going for awhile now. When we turn in Mom’s neighborhood, she’ll say Grandma’s house. Anyway, we pull up to the stop sign at the fork and ask her which way to go to church and she pointed correctly to the left. So we turn down that way and she points to the “right fork” and say, Actually, that way. How does she know what actually means?? She’s saying so many things now and is even getting better at saying things. She is now saying Hea-her for Heather instead of just Hea. Trooper is now Trooper instead of True-True.
She is getting so smart at her letters. She hasn’t memorized the order of them yet except for ABCD but she can tell you all the sounds they make…while dancing and clapping mind you. And if you write the letters on a piece of paper, she’ll tell what it is and what sound it makes.
Yesterday in nursery I think they were singing a bunch of songs because yesterday you could tell she was trying to sing something and today she was dancing and said Jesus Loves Me. Awww! I had her say it like 50 times. It was truly music to my ears.
We are still working on potty training. This morning Scott put her panties on. She went potty once and then the next time we asked if she had to go and she said no and about 10 minutes later peed in the foyer. At least it wasn’t on the carpet. If we insist she goes, she normally goes happily but she just doesn’t remember to go. Every blue moon she’ll run in there and go. I’ve even seen her take her own diaper off and run in there to go potty. I haven’t read anything about how to do this so any advice would be great, mommies!
