praise: none of us have come down with the stomach flu, yet.
prayer: pray that those of us with head colds, will feel better soon.
playfulness: last thursday, landon was putting his letter blocks on the block wagon. instead of going a to z, he put them in z to a (without any hesitation). i don't know that i could do it as quickly as he did it.
this morning, landon had a banana that he wasn't eating much of. so...i started feeding it to auburn. he didn't like that too much, so i gave her half and put the rest on the table and told him to eat it or i was going to give it his sister. he climbed down from his chair, picked it up, and threw it in the trash.
today, at naptime, landon said "good night, mommy, i'm going to bed". i asked him if he wanted to go by himself or if he wanted me to take him. he said he wanted to go by himself and waved and walked into his room. repetitively he said, "good night, mommy" and waved. i finally asked him, "do you want me to tuck you in, or do you want to get in bed by yourself?" his reply, "tuck me in." when it comes down to it, he's not ready to be independent.
at lunch today, auburn had a bowl of macaroni and cheese (the bowl was one of those bowls with an attachable suction ring so the child can't pull it off of the tray and dump the contents). by the end of lunch, mac and cheese was all over her tray, the bowl was being waved around and the suction ring had been removed from the tray and bowl. landon loved it!
auburn has started to get up on her hands and knees. she's not real sure what to do from that point, but making progress.
dave gave me CHOCOLATES for valentine's day. he starting to have a real appreciation for the role of chocolate in the life of females. =) he also gave me a video that i have wanted for a while.
last night, dave and i had the opportunity to go out for a sit down dinner at a local steakhouse. we haven't done that in a while. relatives provided the funds for us to go-what a blessing! it was very nice to have some time with just my husband.
