It is hard to express my feelings when I hear the word summer! I love being a teacher. I love working with kids but I do LOVE the fact that my year starts in August and ends in May!
Since summer has begun we have made a trip to Colorado to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday. We had a great time and the Davis side of the family took the opportunity to have a reunion as well. The highlight of the weekend was getting to introduce Presleigh to my dad for the first time which happened to be my dad's 60th birthday to the day!
Since our return we have delved into potty training. Blaire is doing great! I have been waiting on her to let me know she is ready. If her constantly taking off her pull-up and digging through her drawer to find panties isn't enough of a clue I don't know what is. So as any good mom I am bribing her with a trip to Target to buy a new toy when she fills in her sticker chart. Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me!
Presleigh is doing great as well. She is meeting her milestones and has decided that napping all afternoon is the way she likes to spend her time...fine by me! She is a great sleeper/eater/pooper. I could not be prouder! More than that she is an amazingly happy baby. She talks and smiles all the time and her smiles are contagious. I just wish that time would slow down a little as she seems to be growing at the speed of light.
We are looking forward to a short weekend trip to Grandma Helen's in Trinidad and then we will gear up for our trip to Missoula, Montana to see my family. We will be driving 1200 miles with the girls. Call us crazy, but we are looking forward to it. To add to that, we bought a minivan a few weeks ago! We decided there was no way we were going to be comfortable in our car with all these road trips. Particularly because neither one of us fit in between the two car seats in the back to be able to feed and entertain the girls if need be.
I plan on relishing every minute of my time at home with the girls this summer. These are such sweet girls and I love being their mom!
YEAH! A new blog to stalk!!!!
