I have no new pictures downloaded to show, but I guess you will just have to picture everything I tell you about. Matt and I are both still trying to adjust to being back to school. It's hard to find some serious study time each day. I especially am having a hard time.
This week was my mom's birthday and I had the honors of making her birthday cake. Carrot cake. I've never done it before, but it came out pretty fantastic if I do say so myself. Keldrie has had like 5 toddler size pieces since Wednesday night. For Christmas, my dad gave my mom a trip to Hawaii as her Christmas, birthday and anniversary presents. Their anniversary is next week. They left on Thursday and took Chelsea and Tyler with them. Lucky ducks! I've taken advantage of them being gone and have gone over to eat their left overs and watch the Jazz games.
Today, (Saturday) Gaby and her kiddos came over for a cousin bash. Matt was in American Fork helping his brother Ryan and his family move into their new digs down there. Ryan just got a job down there. We are so happy and excited for them, even though it will mean less time with them. Gaby and I drank Diet Coke and talked about Pride and Prejudice (which I finished last week and have since rented the movie version starting Kiera Knightly), thyroid issues, and our families. The kids had fun playing together. Kel and Josh are both still working on the whole sharing thing, but there was no serious problems.
Right now I am writing this in Kel's bathroom while she has her nightly bath. Matt should be off work soon and Kel will be in bed soon. I am seriously considering calling it a night at 9. I'm wasted.
Sundays really used to be a day of rest for me, but since Keldrie became a walker, and then a runner, and a screamer, I'm exhausted after church. Tell me, does anyone else feel this way? Thank goodness the church has the Nursery Program, otherwise I would have gone less active a long time ago. Matt does have tomorrow off, which will be super nice for all of us. Kel takes him a little more serious than she does me.
Oh yeah, and one other thing that has made this week especially trying: Kel has learned to take off her pants, which gives her access to her diaper, which means she takes that off whenever she gets the chance. She rips it off whenever she deposits anything in it. Short of leaving her in her blanket-sleeper-pajamas, does anyone have any good tips about this little problem? I thought it might mean she is ready to potty train even though she isn't even two yet, but she doesn't seem very excited about the potty and I'm not sure she knows how to not go until we get to the potty yet. Anyway, that is a sum up of this week in the Smith household!

Yes I do understand that Nursery is the best invention! Also, tip on the pajama's put them on backwards, so the zipper is in back...They can't reach it!
ReplyDeleteLoved your little update here, you don't always need pictures, I enjoyed this wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived closer so I could drink diet coke with you guys and chat the day away. That makes me a little sad.....
Sundays oh Sundays are anything but a day of rest. I feel like Sundays are my most stressful days. Church really just takes it out of you with kids, and I get the joy of teaching RS tommorow bright and early at 9 am. I am not looking forward to tommorow much, not really at all!
I'd go for the potty training!! I started my 2 1/2 year old at 16 months, we spent the first several days sitting in the bathroom for HOURS until it was understood, and then the next week we sat on the potty every hour. Two doesnt make a 'magic' age for potty training. You have a very bright little girl, who obviously is not a diaper fan! Good Luck!!!
