It's been quite the Summer, with lots of momentous events.
Josiah lost his first two teeth...but not before the permanent ones started coming in and made him look like a shark (freaked this mama out!)
He also ditched the training wheels on his bike! That really made me feel like he was a big boy...I don't know if anyone else sees that as a major milestone, but he went from little kid to big kid in one fell swoop in my mama brain.
Elijah is now wearing underwear...after a long struggle he finally succumbed to his parents' iron will. The final straw for him was getting a "Lullypop" for doing his thing in the "tulet"
I'm willing to take the stigma of being known as "that mom" who lets her kids ride around the block in their underwear, just to prove to all that my kid really is potty trained.
Noah is FINALLY starting to talk a little more. I think he's stringing us along, and could probably speak in paragraphs if he wanted to, but just talks to us enough that we're satisfied that he's not completely deaf or in need of intervention. Two of his latest additions are "Popeye" and "mine" the latter of which we hear incessantly as he is two.
And the last great milestone of the summer is that I am pregnant with our fourth child! I'm starting to come out of the first trimester fog...it's been rough and my house has suffered a lot of collateral damage. Fortunately I have some wonderful young lady friends who have helped with watching the boys and keeping up the house. I'm due around the beginning of April. This pregnancy came as something of a surprise, although we were considering adding to our number again, and were about ready to think about "trying"
That's really all we have to do is think about it.
Congratulations, Jenny!
