So Grown Up

My three ones are growing up so fast - each of them requires a little brag sesh.

 

Carson is now eating solid food and looooving it.  We introduced them a month ago, and he has loved every minute.  He's now eating a whole jar of some fruit or veggie in the evening (baby cereal always has a short life here,) plus whatever he can put into his mouth on his own (ie, everything!) This is a good thing, too - dude is drinking us out of house and home! Hopefully this will curb the tide of formula a little bit.

Alisa's big accomplishment lately is, drumroll please...... potty training! It has been a rough road for her, and sometimes it is still a struggle.  She wears a diaper to bed (no prob) but is fully able to recognize when she needs to go and make it to the potty.  About half the time, she is getting her #2's in the toilet, half on the floor... ugh.  Otherwise, she is fine unless she gets engrossed in playing. Still, our double diaper bill is finally taking a hit, so that's another much-needed financial score!

 

And, lastly, Amelie earned her alphabet crown at Challenger School!  This means that she can say the alphabet, recognize/name all the letters and the sounds they make and she even knows what the vowels and consonants are.  I am so proud of her!  It is restricted to words that actually follow all the rules (which in English isn't many) but, essentially, she can read! She knows how to blend and is good at it. (Now, she'll just need to learn the million exceptions...)

I have the best kids - I'm one proud mama bear!
