Every day the girls do at least one thing that totally blows me away and makes me swell with pride. They are so smart its hard to believe they are mine. They learn so fast I can't even keep up. I feel like I should share thier lastest accomplishments with the world.
Alyssa is potty trained! Yay, only one kid in diapers. I knew she was ready to start before the baby was born but I didn't want to stress her out by potty training and having a new sister so I waited about a month before we started. It only took her a few days to really get the hang of it. On day two she surprised me when she stopped playing outside to go potty all on her own. It's been about a month now and for the last three weeks or so she had been dry at night. The last four days she has gone without a diaper during the night. Yay!! Way to go Alyssa!
Sophia's latests advancement has been really fun to watch. She is learning to spell, read some words, and write. Tim has been giving her sheets of paper to practice her letters on for several months now but all of a sudden she wants to spell things. She mostly asks how to spell the names of people we know. John the mailman, Jesse and Daniel her cousins, mom and dad, etc. She is also using phonics to sound out some simple words. So far she can sound out Pat, Don, Bus, and, of course, Dora. And the biggest word that she can read and spell all by herself? Happy. Don't you want to squeeze her? Go Sophia! Hopefully her enthusiasm for learning continues her whole life.
And little Emilia is smiling up a storm. So cute!
