climbing

Glorianna is gettting really good at climbing up the stairs. We never got a babygate to block the stairs going up. I thought that I’d just teach Glorianna how to go down. But so far it hasn’t worked. So I have to make sure I dont leave her alone in the livingroom. She tries to follow me up the stairs. She usually succeeds without mishap…but since she hasn’t learned how to go back down without falling, we still have a ways to go. In other news…she’s finally starting to sleep better at night. The last 3 nights in a row she has only gotten up once. I sure hope this lasts. I was beginning to think that she’d never sleep thru the night. (Now if we can just get her to go to bed before midnight, we’d be great!!!)

Zion is doing well with school. He is now writing full sentances in cursive and can read very well. I’ve been really impressed with the speed in which he is learing. At the rate he’s going , he’ll have no trouble keeping up with the later years.

Riah is copying Zion on a lot of things. He wants to do school too. He can write his name and Zion’s name. He knows all his letters and what sounds they make. We’re thinking of sending him to preschool in the fall. Zion really enjoyed it and it gave him a big jump on school preperation. I really liked the preschool where Zion went, so that is where we will try and get Riah in.

We’ve been trying to get the boys room painted this week. We’re supposed to get new carpet layed in there next week, so Trevor and I have been really trying to get that room finished before the carpet gets layed. Its slow go with him working and the kids underfoot, but its slowly getting there. I’ll be sure and post some pictures of the finished job.

We still have not gotten any snow this winter. It seems all the places like Texas and Arizona are getting more snow then we are. ITS NOT FAIR!!!! I want some snow. The few flurries we’ve had in the last week melt before they hit the ground. Hopefully we get some soon. Otherwise I’m gonna start getting spring fever….and that can be dangerous…cause with springfever comes yardsale fever….watch out people…here i come….
