Twice in one week?

I can't believe I am actually writing again today--twice in one week. I have realized I need to be much better about writing things down that happen, especially the funny sayings Madelyn says to me. Her newest saying to me is, "Don't be so serious, Mommy." Or she'll say, "seriously", without missing a beat. The other day she told me she was so frustrated. What a big word for a 3 year old to be using & in the right context! She also has a thing about smelling your breath in the morning. She cannot stand it! She will flat out tell you your breath stinks & you need to brush your teeth. Ahhh....the joys of 3! I'm trying to teach her how to say things a little more nicely!!
She is completely potty trained now! Yay! She is even night trained, which she did from the get-go! She loves to use the big potty....so bye-bye little potty :).
Madelyn got some new crocs to wear this summer & boy, does she love them! She also loves the jibbitz that you can buy to go with them. Right now she has butterflies & Mickey/Minnie Mouse. Maybe the Easter Bunny will be kind & bring her a couple more!
Caroline is just a little ham! She loves to coo & smile. She is also fascinated by watching herself in our bathroom mirror when taking a bath. She goes to the doctor for her 4 month check up soon. Where has the time gone???
Well...I'm off to go clean the kitchen. Does it ever end? I didn't think so...

I can't believe it's March!

Wow! Has it really been 2 months since I last posted? We have been very busy! Our house is still for sale. (sigh...) We have had 36 showings! It is exhausting and overwhelming at the same time keeping it so clean with 2 kids!

Madelyn just had her 3rd birthday last month. She loved having her party at The Little Gym. She celebrated with some of her friends! I cannot believe she is 3, though. Although, she turned 3 and a new attitude came right along with it!! She is so honest and tells it like it is. :) She adores Caroline and calls her "sweetie" all the time. She loves to climb in her crib with her and play. She really enjoys going to pre-school 2 days a week. She has made some new friends and it is sweet hearing her talk about them. She also has started wearing dresses DAILY. She really insists on dresses and does not like it when Mommy makes her wear pants to pre-school!! It's quite funny! She loves playing on the computer. She uses the mouse with both hands. :)

Caroline is now 3.5 months old and is more precious than ever! She is starting to "coo" often & smiles at us all the time. It really makes your heart melt! She is also starting to get on a schedule, which Mommy loves! She goes to bed at 7 & sometimes will sleep through the night. If she does wake up it's around 3:30-4. She will then go back to sleep until 7 or so. She doesn't really like the carseat, though! She loves her big sister & laughs at her often. Who knew your heart could grow so much for 2 children!

I love being home with them & wouldn't trade it for anything. It's a rewarding experience and something I'll never forget.

Madelyn loves the Wii!

Sweet Caroline
