Today was a lazy day all around! The ground was covered with snow when we woke up with the freezing rain starting! I took one look outside and decided it was a day to stay inside all warm in the house!
The kiddos both still have their colds so I continue to wipe noses all day...and wash my hands after every wipe...sore/dry hands! Knock on wood I haven't gotten the illness yet! I have been trying hard to drink lots of hot tea, take lots of vitamins and take herb immune boosting pills that MeMom said she swears by! We'll see! So far so good, but I'm sure the bug will get me, and if not I will thank my lucky stars!!
I feel like I haven't updated information on Morgan in a while. Morgan update:
Morgan never ceases to amaze me with how much she is learning! Tonight she brought over a new coloring book I had bought that she hadn't seen yet with a picture of Charlie Brown on the front cover and said "oopy!" (Snoopy) She made the connection between Charlie and Snoopy! It is so exciting to see her new connections to things!! When we read her big book of animals she goes through and points at the animals and does one of three things. If she knows the animal's name she says it's name, if she does not know the animal but knows it's sound she will say it's sound, and if she has no clue what the animal is (chinchilla) she looks at me for guidance! She is learning to sing the alphabet song, although she doesn't know all the letters yet she gets the basic rhythm down. She also likes to sing the song "Itsy Bitsy Spider" with her favorite word being "washed" in the middle of the song! She exaggerates the sound (probably like I have to prove a point!). She has also almost mastered the ability to flip her jacket onto her self (up and over)! That will be exciting when she can put her jacket on all by herself! Her newest comment to the family is "blue eyes". PopPop commented on all our blue eyes (everyone in my immediate family has blue eyes) at breakfast one morning and now she comes right up to everyone and says "Momma blue eyes" or "PopPop blue eyes". She is so proud of herself! She is getting much better at her colors too! She can recognize the letters "M and O" and sometimes "A and P". She continues to clean up when asked nicely and still can entertain herself or will ask us to play. She loves to brush her teeth before bed, and we are working on going "pee-pee" every morning after she wakes up. We are 50-50 right now! I'm not pushing her, when she is ready it will happen! Before bed she must give everyone a kiss and hug including baby RJ and all the dogs! You can see from the picture she actually has enough hair now to put up in a little pig tail! Her hair is actually too long now in the front not to put it up! Morgan is getting better at leaving her hair-do in, but still at times pulls it out at which time her hair goes everywhere! She continues to experience her environment and is using her new skills all the time! This paragraph jumped around a lot, but I just wanted to get everything written as I thought of it!
