Busy

 There has been lots of busyness going on at our house.

Clara is busy trying to get around the house.

She gets so frustrated because she wants to go-go-go!

She wants to run right now, and her mind knows that's what it wants to do,

her body just hasn't learned how yet, and you can see it all over her face.

She can scoot around and twist and turn, and roll from one side of the room to the other.

She can back her self up, and she often gets stuck under the couch or bed.

 Luke is busy LOVING his sister.

He is always saying "Hi Baby!" with such enthusiasm.

Luke is genuinely excited to play with her.

He tries to jump over her and run circles around her.

They both think its hilarious,

even though this is a serious hazard to Clara!

 Luke has also been busy learning new words and phrases every day.

He is starting to repeat what we've been telling him to do or not to do.

It just goes to show he knows exactly what we are saying,

he just chose not to follow through and obey.

For instance:

He is not supposed to get up on the counter,

or stand on top of chairs and jump from them.

He is also not supposed to play in Clara's jumperoo.

So while he is doing all these things he isn't supposed to do,

he kindly tells me, what I usually tell him, like:

"get down"

"that's for the baby"

He is a smart boy, that has some very serious agenda's that do NOT include obeying!

Clara is busy getting her hands on any toy possible.

She knows what she wants, and slowly makes her way to it.

Then its all about shoving it into her mouth!

Luke is mostly good about sharing,

he hasn't been super possessive of all his toys.

I was looking forward to January and February as being slower months.  

Typically we get so busy with all the hussel and bussel of the holidays,

that everyone slows down for January.

I have not found this to be the case for our house!

Goals:

Simplify!
