I know I haven’t updated in months….it’s been a busy spring and summer. Sammy and Norah have both grown and changed so much. We’ve spent the last few months earnestly potty training Norah and it looks like we’ve pretty much succeeded in getting her to use her training potty 99% of the time. We still have an occasional accident, but I think those will be fewer and fewer. Norah has also begun ballet lessons. Which were her idea. She pestered me about ballet for two months before I finally called around and found a studio that had classes for two year olds. She loves it. One day a week wasn’t even enough for her, so we go twice a week. I look at her now and my baby is gone, replaced by this vivacious, inquisitive, chatty little girl. And now Sammy is starting school. How did that happen?! Instead of me reading to him, he wants to read to me. I can’t believe how grown up he looks and acts. He looks after his little sister and offers to help the younger boys in his Kung Fu class. I am constantly touched and in awe of how big and tender his little heart is to others. I look at them both and am so happy for the changes in them, but sometimes I’m a little sad too.
