So Much Growth

I know it has been awhile since I have written anything.  Frankly, I've been really busy with work and then homework in the evenings.  I tend to spend my time with my husband and kids on the weekends, so blogging hasn't been high on the priority list. 

However, after how much growth my kids have gone through recently, I thought it was time for a post.  Thing 1 is doing very well in Kindergarten.  He is beginning to read and knows 16 words by sight.  He is really enjoying himself and has made a girlfriend (he always has a girlfriend!).  About two weeks ago he also started Sunday School classes and has been a big helper to his teacher.  When we picked him up from his class last week, the teacher had many positive things to say about him.

A couple weeks ago we decided to buy underpants for Thing 2 as we felt he may be getting close to potty training.  He decided to pick out Mickey Mouse underpants.  We kept them in the dresser in his room and would continue to prompt him to use the potty.  Some days he was more receptive than others.  Every once in awhile he would actually ask to go.  Well, today, he asked to go and I took him, sat him down on the little potty, and read him some books.  After the second book, I asked if he wanted another book or if he was ready to get up.  He said he wanted to get up.  When he got off of the toilet, we found that he had pooped and peed in the potty!  Thing 1 and I praised him and gave him hugs.  Thing 2 was excited and wanted his underpants.  So Thing 1 got Thing 2 a pair of the Mickey Mouse underpants and he has been wearing them ever since.  He did decide not to wear pants.  I'm guessing it's because then he can't see the Mickey Mouse design on his underpants!

I am very happy with how much my two boys have grown the past few weeks.  Not only are they getting taller, but they are learning so much.  I so love my boys!
