I can not believe it is already May 8th and this is my first blog post for the month of May. The good news/ bad news is we haven't had anything major to report as most days have been pretty quiet at our house.
Pickle did "re-injure" her nose last Sunday. Within an hour of the scab falling off she was bloody again! This time she scraped it on the concrete wall outside when she was trying to maneuver from play structure to wall . . . didn't quite work out. As of this morning I am happy to report that the new scab is almost gone and it looks like there will be no scarring!
She is developing her language skills everyday and I have been hearing many more "Ma-mas" than "Da-das." "Mama" comes out it seems when she wants something . . . . Dad must be tough during the day! Pickle loves to talk "on the phone" and the phone can be anything from one of her play phones to a domino. She just walks around and "talks." We have been able to discern a few words like "bus," "doggy," and "bunny;" but I am not sure anyone besides her parents would understand her at this point.
Her cutest new habit is to "shave her legs" in the shower. She will put her leg up on the ledge in the corner and rub her legs up and down . . . clearly mimicking Mama! She is still very adventurous and will copy anything her brother does!
Her worst new habit is waking up at 4:00 am wanting her pacifier and then waking up at 5:30 ready to get up for the day . . . we are exhausted!
The Little Guy is busy at school and pretending he is a baseball player. He loves to put his baseball cap on backward and then his LSU football helmet and pretend he is a catcher. He dresses like that but then goes through the motions of a pitcher . . . he is basically a one-man baseball team!
He is so smart and is already reading chapter books. The boy will read everything in site including newspaper headlines, street signs, and what's on the TV . . . we have to be more careful these days!
My favorite thing about him? That he has no clue about McDonald's. He saw a street sign the other day that said McDonald and what was his response? "Mama, there is a street with the same name as the farmer in that song!" No mention of the restaurant . . . what does he call McDonald's the restaurant . . . "the M Store." It's just funny to me . . . don't know why!
What's not funny about the Little Guy? Him yelling at the top of his lungs at 8:30pm last night - "I can't go to sleep" over and over. This was not funny.
And finally . . . the house! We have waited patiently for the electrician and now that everything is re-wired (and we have fans again!) we are knocking down the final wall - the bricks! JP and I are going to get a few solid hours without the kids on Saturday to make some headway on the walls and thin set! The drywall guy comes on Monday and then we should be ready to install the new cabinets! Yahoo! I will post pictures this weekend of our progress.
