Update

Yes! My computer is still down with multiple viruses, I'm doing this from my parent's home since Aaron is away for the weekend on one of his annual fishing trips. I'm undecided on how I feel about him going away for so many days at the time , 3 to be exact, but he loves it! He practically looks forward to the next year's trip from the moment he gets home and walks in the door. And he is such a good dad and husband and hard worker, so I guess he deserves it. So there's that.

Now for my update:

Josie went on the potty right the next day! ...once, and after that she decided that going on her diaper was way more comfortable and handy so she refuses to please mami with going on the potty again. She hardly ever sits on it, just for play as she used to before! and I know well for experience, with Naomi, that pushing the issue will only make it worse and lenghten the process so I am stepping away from that matter for the moment. I'll just wait for some other signs of readiness. She'll let me know.
She is growing and learning and getting cuter and cuter by the day. She is trying to say more words, ex. ga-ga for galleta (cookie) and na-na for vitaminas (vitamins) which she loves, it is the first thing she asks for in the morning, na-na! and then she points you to the kitchen where I keep them. She's learned a few more signs like "up", which she uses when she wants off from her high chair. It was getting really annoying to have her whine and twist in her chair when she was trying to communicate this to us. She loves to dance and sing, like her big sister, and follows after everything she does. She loves to play hide and seek, she loves to finger paint and color with markers only, no crayons please, that is an insult for her! She is not allowed to use them unless she is sitting in her high chair, but even then she gets her way to sneak one away and try them on more interesting surfaces than paper, like the walls and couches! She is still taking 2 naps during the day, YAY! and going to bed by 7PM! I guess keeping up with big sister takes that much energy. So many things about my little baby I can go on and on, but then I would be here all night and wouldn't be able to get to the rest of the family members.

Naomi is just and amazing little person. She teaches me more things that I can teach her in one day. She is such a sweet little girl with such a funny personality and endless energy. She has graduated form nursery and is now going to primary. On the second Sunday of being there she got kicked out of class and the teacher brought her to me :( She's my wild child, or one of them. She loves her dance class, I think wearing her pink tu-tu like a ballerina is her favorite part. The first day of class she introduce herself to the teacher and told her that she was dressed like a ballerina. She loves being a big sister, kissing and hugging little sister all better and also pretending to put little sister in time out or putting her down for a nap are some of her favorite things about being a big sister. Princess stories are her favorite at bedtime but she will enjoy any other good books too. She enjoys helping mami, in the kitchen. Baking is her specialty, cookies, cupcakes, banana bread, pancakes, you name it! She is now sitting still for longer periods of time. We can go as long as 1 hr sitting at the kitchen table having our mini lessons. I was worried that she wouldn't be ready for preschool this year, but I think she'll be just fine. I'm not so sure about myself.

Both Naomi and Jocie are lots of fun to see grow and learn. I'm so blessed to have them for me to take care of and love every day. I just don't know yet what I have done to deserve such beautiful little people in my life.

Aaron is still enjoying his new job, not so new anymore, he's been there for about 7 months now. He is taking a break from school this semester, so we have been able to enjoy having home for both breakfast and dinner every day, YAY! I really do appreciate the help I get during bed time too, that is the Josie and Naomi's bedtime (blushing). It's not always easy putting the two of them down for bed at the same time, bath, toothbrushing, pj's, stories, songs, specially at the end of the day when I'm almost at the end of my rope, so we are all loving that. He is also playing church basketball on Wednesday and Saturdays and he just got a new calling! One that is less time consuming, Ward Secretary. And like I said he is fishing right now. Can't wait until the gets home on Sunday!

Me, I'm just taking care of those 3 wonderful people I just mentioned to you about- Don't forget Tank-man! Even though he is very easy to take care of, feed him and scratch him behind the ear and he is happy, add some food droppings from the table for a bonus and he can't ask for more- They are my life and I love being able to tend to their every need. Still have my calling with the YW, but who know for how much longer, they have been making a lot of changes in our branch, I have a feeling they won't keep me there for very long. And on the side I have been trying to get away to do a little running, my love away from home or just around the neighborhood really. No fancy projects, just the one of keeping my sane and cool everyday as it comes, and the one of raising our little girls, do I need anymore than that?
