Wow I suck at blogging!
I have been totally neglecting my mommy blog for months now, concentrating all my energy on my msn space ( until now!) Lots has happenned since I last posted, but keeping with the original intent of my blog, I will just skim over the most important parts....the chillins!
Chloe is well into Grade one, and it is so amazing to see her develop the abilities to do math, print, spell and best of all read! She could read about 5o sight words at the beginning of school, and she is already into chapter books at bedtime! I am so happy for her that she has made a very fast transition & is reading at a grade 3 level already! We make reading a daily thing & almost always have, & I can honestly say it has paid off. So my #1 piece of parenting advice today is READ TO YOUR CHILDREN even if you are too tired or don't want to have to read goodnight moon for the 500th time. In a few years your kids will read YOU to sleep! It all comes back to you tenfold.
On the other end of the age gap is little Reecie...my smiley face boy who is much enjoying being the baby of the house....he has taken his official first steps...but is still quite content with being carries unless you force him to stand up! Ahh like mother like son! He is such a happy kid...I sincerely hope that the world doesn't jade him anytime soon cause he is happily ignorant right now! At our last Dr's appointment I addressed the issue of his undescended testicle ( hereon known as U.T) that the DR had diagnosed 3 months ago, so we have an appointment with a urologist in March. I am not getting too worried this early....I hope that is will correct itself, but want to take action asap if it won't because I think a surgery like that would be a lot more traumatic on a 3 year old than an 18 month old. Either way it won't be any less traumatic on me! But we will cross that bridge if it comes to that.
Otherwise things is mamaland are great...feeling very on top of things in my domestic life...and hey, isn't that about all we camn ask for as moms?
Here's to a new start on this blog & a happy healthy couple of kids!
