| Unedited version of what my morning looks like. Addison and her "chi Noch". Good morning my love. My morning wouldn't be the same without ALL of you. |
Everyone is getting older by the second. New things are being learned and understood, milestones are being met, and and all together we are growing.
Addison can now count to 12. Most of the time she goes 1, 2, 3, 10, 11, 12. But she does say them right if she focuses. Which is not very often lately. She seems to be going through a phase of extreme hyperness. She loves to talk and run. The more people the better. It's been a struggle getting her to listen, but I know that all she wants is to play and be loved. I guess most of it comes from being almost 3. Suck it Momma lets get with the 3's. :)
Lily has been a little chatter box too. I think, "Oh my goodness not two talkers in the family." My brain sometimes explodes from the constant chatter, but I realize all they need is to be heard and included. It's hard to except when I am completely the opposite. I like quiet, small groups. I need to let them bring it out of me, and I need to start learning. Addison of all will be the one who needs me to help her get her involved, even though I have no idea myself. But the one thing different about Lily, though, is that she doesn't like large groups of people. She gets overwhelmed quickly and needs to be taken away for a while. Her and I can have our alone time together and just breathe.
I am so thankful God has given me the things I need. An Addison who helps me come out of my shell, a Lily who gives me my calm, and a husband who helps me through all of it.
Happy Thursday!!

ReplyDeleteHehe, my daughter also skips her numbers when she doesn't concentrate. Our childminder told me I need to practise her concentration skills by sitting down regularly and concentrating on things, I say let her dance to the music :-) (plus she is super focused when we do things she likes. we're learning spanish, which she loves, and she sits down and does it for ages, so you know, don't push them away from their passions I say)

I love the way you think! I completely agree, let them dance to the music! If it's what they love then why not? Guiding them is the best we can do. They will let us know how they feel one way or another. :)
