Oh, how the month of January flew by! My apologies for now posting in a while. I guess the laundry can wait longer...
Well, I guess being on the road 2 of the 4 weeks in Jan. helped the month go pretty fast. Cabo ended and back to work we went...never easy coming back from a wonderful vacation. It always feels like you never even left!
Peanut is saying more and more these days. Lots of sentences and phrases. Whole conversations now! Unbelievable to be honest. Kevin looked at me once and said, "Um, I don't know if you realized this but our daughter just had a whole conversation with me." it is crazy. Let's see if I can list some of the good ones...What doin MaMa? DaDa/MaMa Aypane, MaMa hayer wet, shower...Moe beans DaDa! Too freakin funny.
Mira is also now entering...yes, you guessed it! The TERRIBLE TWOS!!!!! They certainly call it that for a reason, don't they? I like to call it the Battle Of Wills. Everything is a battle. Hair brushing, PJs, going to bed, diaper changes (yes, still here and there. Not fully potty-learned yet and too small for Pull Ups.) Time outs are getting more frequent. It's OK though. She is a wonderful, brilliant, amazing baby. We are so blessed. She loves to have tea parties with her animal friends, read books, play with stickers, color, finger paint and play with play dough. Very artistic like her Bubbie!
We are continuing on with swim lessons on Sundays and Gymboree on Saturdays. We've bumped up to the Level 5 class and it is going well. Can't believe Peanut's 2nd birthday is right around the corner...
We are planning a Flower Fairy Tea Party. If you know the illustrations of Cicely Mary Barker, you get the gist. Uncle Adam, Aunt Danielle, Aunt Cimber, Nona and Great Grandmom Fran will all be here this year. Yippee!! Hurry Everyone!!
Kevin's travel has picked up a bit as he is highly in demand in the field. Over the past several months he has gotten responsibility for developing and rolling out national sales training for the Account Execs and leadership. He was in Houston this week delivering a couple of the classes. Everyone loves him, of course. Those of you that know him know that for Kevin, being in the classroom is bliss. Brilliant I might add.
As for me, after the 2 week pilot in Atlanta, my Feb travel schedule was cleared so that I could work on curriculum development. A good thing and I am grateful to be home. I am doing more and more writing of curriculum in my position and also managing vendor relationships and training programs developed with vendors. I continue to love my position, team and company. Also a good thing.
We are planning a trip to Philly in April to visit with family and friends. The flight may be a little challenging but hopefully not too bad.
The weather here has been anywhere from frigid to mild over the last several weeks. This week is rainy but near 60. Not too bad considering what I grew up with during many a February. Oh, let's see, 10, or 15! Burrr! don't miss it.
We are talking about re-doing our living room and making it a playroom. Oh boy! It overwhelms me at times!
Well, Happy Valentines Day everyone! If you have not seen it, click on the below link to some video of Peanut from January.
