Day by day...

Oh, I haven't posted in almost a month! Things are just status quo around here. P turned in his National Boards portfolio. His next step is to take an exam in June. I am trying to wrap up my Natural Family Planning internship. I hopefully will take my practitioner exam in the middle of May. We are working hard, and hopefully will have an uneventful summer. :)

The children are doing very well. AR is like a grown up. She talks to you all the time. She is into the asking questions phase. Driving to the grocery store the other day (which is less than 3 miles from our house), she must have asked me over 100 questions. It is very cute. J is still being stubborn about walking. He prefers to crawl, as he is amazingly fast. Sometimes he is crawling so fast, he messes up his sequence and ends up face down on the floor. He pauses like he is taking a rest break, and then up and off again. We have been really working on his speech. About 2 weeks ago, all he was saying was da-da, ya-ya, ra-ra, ba-ba. And nothing had any meaning. We think he has da-da and ma-ma down now, and the next thing we are working on is pa-pa. He says "pa". I'm not sure he is associating it with his grandfathers.

We had a wonderful Easter, and I will post pics soon. We spent 2 days on Kiawah with my family from New Jersey. It was amazing! We ate lunch at The Sanctuary. Oh boy...It was definitely nothing like I had ever seen before. My cousins had an Easter Egg hunt. AR loved it. So I will post all that soon.

Well, it's early Sunday morning, and I'm off to get breakfast going and then onto mass. I'm thinking about putting AR in the nursery. She went in there for a little bit during Easter Mass, but we were sitting outside on the plaza, close to the nursery so I could check on her a couple of times. I'm such a hovering parent! How am I ever going to drop her off at preschool in the fall, and then LEAVE? :( I get teary eyed just thinking about it.
