No Title
Well new year, new blog. Same old, same old that everyone else is doing. I do this for my benefit though, to remember the things I KNOW I won't several years from now (or even months in my case). Or, I use it to point things out to Alley, like the fact that Aurora had more teeth than Joel at this point, he didn't believe me, so I pulled up her blog and WHAT DO YOU KNOW!? Mommy is ALWAYS right! (Men, don't you forget that!)
So Joel is almost nine months old now, on the fourth to be exact. He's been able to take one or two steps for a while now, like a month or so, and has been pulling up on things for about 3 months. But here in the last week he is really going. He's discovered he can walk from object to object and it doesn't have to be just to someone. He has six teeth that are adorable and I believe 2 more are trying to make their entrance. He says "bye bye" "mama" "dada" and "hi." He absolutely LOVES to give hugs, but only when he wants them, if you want them, too bad. He also loves giving kisses to his mommy, though I don't like it as much as he does. He ADORES his big sister. She is so great with him. They can just laugh and laugh at each other for NOTHING, it's pretty funny. Though, Aurora thinks she's the boss. That could lead to some trouble, eventually.
So now that we're on Aurora, she is a HANDFUL...but in a good way. She is a very smart girl. She can write her name (for a year now) she can read and write some simple words, like Cat, Hat, Cow, Dog...etc. She's doing amazingly well. I think she could read more if I sat down with her some more. She writes her ABC's and practices every day, so writing isn't the problem at all, it's the sounding them out. And the only ones she has a problem with I never thought about. C's, K's and Ch's and S's confuse her. She understand that an S says SSSS but when a C says it, she gets confused. and when a C sounds like a K and CH what is that!? But she'll learn, I guess those are the words you just have to memorize. On top of being smart, Aurora is bossy. She knows she's smart which makes her bossy. She uses her "logic" on us all the time. "Well, since I'm 3 now and I'm turning 4, I won't have to listen to what you say when I turn 4." Or, "Since Joel is just a baby, I can boss him around and tell him what to do." What I find extremely hilarious, is that here lately, she says "eh" after everything. "you love me, eh?" HAHA it is too funny. I guess she's been hanging around Canadians, or perhaps watching Brother Bear way too much.
There are some little things about each of my kids. I could go on and on about both of them, especially Aurora. Her personality has just BLOSSOMED over the last year. As for Alley and I, well we are doing well. We love being parents and love being together. We still have our differences at times, it would be dishonest to say we don't, but we are MUCH better at working through them together.
I am still planning on starting school in the Spring, have everything turned in, just have to go get registered on the 6th and perhaps have to take the math portion of the Accuplacer. BLAH! But, that shouldn't take more than the one day. I have a orientation on the 7th and classes start the 12th. I'm planning on 12 hours at the moment, but 9 of them will be online and one of those is a class that will be over in March. Hopefully, I can still get in those classes. They are all pretty much classes I'd need for anything (English, Speech, Computer, and Psychology), but I am planning on doing Sign Language Interpreting. But I have a hard time making up my mind on things, so hopefully I can stick with it. It's something I've loved and been good at for a long time now, so I think it'd be best. Not to mention, I prayed about it, and that's what I believe I was called to do. I kind of found that out at a church camp called Youth WAVE when I was in high school, but I don't think it was time for me to go to school yet. God has a plan for me and has had all along.
Praise the LORD for his blessings.
