Several of you have asked recently, "Well, what are the kiddos doing these days?" So I wanted to answer and let everyone feel my pain - ha! - just kidding!
1) They are both walking; haven't figured out how to run yet, but that's okay .... it will come in due time!
2) I guess we all think that our kids are really smart at this age, but I am amazed at not really how smart they are (I mean, they are prodigies and all - ha!), but more so on how quickly they pick things up. I showed them the pumpkin on their shirts today one time and they knew from them on. It's amazing!
3) They are all into the sounds animals make. Ian loves the cat sound "Meow" in a really high pitch and Bonner loves "Woof! Woof! Woof!" for the doggie ... you knew we couldn't go with "Bark" because that doesn't work with our Georgia Bulldog cheer. They love the duck making a "quack" noise and say that one really loud.
4) Bonner likes to try and make you laugh by putting a washcloth or her lovie on her head like a hat.
5) They immediately touch their head when you sing the song "Head and Shoulders, Knees & Toes!"
6) Ian loves to paint at school -- yes, they paint at school; however, Bonner doesn't like to get her hands dirty so she doesn't enjoy it too much.
7) We are starting to go outside more these days and neither one of them like the grass ... they touch it and then edge back a little. Going outside, though, really leads to lots of accidents so we try to minimize our time on the concrete!
8) They both love to the do the "Gggooo Dawgs! Sic 'em! Woof! Woof! Woof!" cheer. They are so cute as they start swinging their arms around in the air when you ask them what a Georgia Bulldog says!
9) Bonner doesn't eat near as well as Ian. He will pretty much devour whatever you give him and in any quantity; she prefers macaroni and cheese (I guess she gets that from me), cheerios, and fruit.
10) The great capitalistic society that we live in has already taken its toll on these children as they immediately recognize Mickey Mouse and his friends, Elmo and the Sesame Street crowd, and even Handy Manny! Bonner loves Curious George and Ian starts dancing if you mention Elmo because he loves it when Elmo sings!
11) They are down to one nap a day which makes scheduling our daily outings even easier!
I guess that is about it. I promise to get some more pictures posted of them before long ... and maybe even get some video posted. They are so much fun, but alot of work. They go to Mother's Morning Out Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to noon and then my great helper, Gina, still comes in on Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to watch them while I go to work. This new schedule is great and gives me some downtime each day!
Other than the kids, we will put our remodeling project (which is already over budget and hasn't even been big on yet) in the next week or so and then keep our fingers crossed that someone will want to take it on. We are adding a 3rd-bay to our garage and then building 2 bedrooms and a bath above the garage. We are also adding a screened-in porch and redoing the deck. Should be very interesting!
In the meantime, we are going to redo our master bath and our hall bath as we have committed to NEVER moving :-)
You know where we are so we would love to have you stop by anytime! We love each of you so much and thank you for loving us!
Have a great week!
Jennifer
