I am so proud of Xadia. She finally jumped off the diving board at
the rec. center and swam to the side all by herself. Of course I wanted to take pictures but I did
not bring my camera swimming so I thought I might as well document it with
words. The first time she tried, she was
too scared so she had to walk back down the ladder. However, before we left for home, she wanted
one more try. That first jump alleviated
all fear. When she got out of the pool
she asked, “can I do it again?” So she
went another 3 times. I am so grateful
she has learned to swim. This is my baby
girl I almost lost in a drowning accident nearly 3 years ago.
McCabe’s birthday is coming. He wants a laptop. I know that is not happening. In the meantime I keep asking him what he
wants to do for his birthday and he says, “I don’t know.” He is so happy just playing with friends and
his Nintendo 3DS. I don’t think life can
get much better for him.
Jacinda is doing much better with her spelling. I am so grateful she is getting it. I am also very impressed with her ability to
play the piano. I like how she will play
music that is not assigned to her.
Christmas music really caught her attention and she just started playing
a random song from a piano book. She
basically taught herself. I love it.
Teagan
is my treat monster. He is always
climbing chairs to look into the cupboards to find something to eat. He loves to eat treats and asks for them
daily. I also have to admit he is my
best eater when it comes to vegetables.
He always tries the salads at each meal.
I don’t know if it because he really likes salad or if he likes to
squirt the dressing on his plate. Either
way at least he eats it.
