Another month has come & almost gone...

Time really flies! I cannot believe it is almost June already! We have been so busy trying to keep this house up and showing it often. I really want it to sale already! Madelyn's last week of preschool is this week, although she is signed up for summer session. We have a party on Friday to celebrate! She has truly blossomed this year in preschool & loves it. She has made many friends, including her dearest one, Claire. She talks about her all the time.

Madelyn is getting smarter all the time! She is really into rhyming words all of the sudden. She will make them up and if I ask her if two words rhyme she will answer. Of course I try to trick her with two silly ones that do not rhyme and she knows it! She knows pretty much all of her letters and has recently started learning the lowercase ones. I try to do sounds with her, but she really doesn't have any interest! That's okay...plenty of time for that later!

We are really working on the sassiness that comes with a 3 year old. If she doesn't clean up her toys we tell her they go in a bag for later and can't play with them that day. Yesterday, Daddy told her they were going in the bag and she didn't miss a beat, "That's okay, I'll get them back tomorrow." Lately, she has been telling me I am going to get a time out. Honestly, I'd love a mommy time out once in a while!!! She will count 1, 2, 3...and say, "Now hear me." AHHHHH.
Really, you have to take deep breaths.

Caroline is almost 6 months old and is the cutest thing ever!! She is now eating cereal, pears, green peas, apples, carrots, and sweet potatoes. I think sweet potatoes are her favorite with carrots being in dead last! She has not been getting a bottle anymore in the middle of the night, instead we just have to go in and find her paci for her. We'll take that over feeding a 4 o'clock bottle! She loves bouncing in her jumperoo and hanging out in the exersaucer. She also enjoys swinging outside. She is starting to get on a schedule of naps, which is terrific!

There isn't much else to report from us! Hopefully when I write next our house will be under contract??!!

Madelyn loves the Wii!
