The sKiNnY
I haven't posted anything in ages (much to Brooke's dismay)... so, here's the skinny.
Madison
*Will turn three on May 2nd (just incredible...time truly does fly)
*PERFECT AGE!!!! She is hysterical!
*Although it took a few weeks to get it, she is completely potty trained :) YES!!
*Speaks with an Italian Accent (imagine with me..."Mamma I donnn't aaaaa dooo iiiit")
*Sneaks into our bed every morning at about 5 am
*I consider her to be our young Julius Caesar bc of the fact that she asserts her
self importance in her continual usage of the third person. It's so funny bc you don't really pay much attention to certain things until they are observed and commented on by others.
*Has begun eating pretty much everything put in front of her (She loves salmon, for example)
*Loves Ballet class. Two weeks ago she was awarded the star of the day for listening well and being nice to others. Ms. Lacie was genuinely thrilled with her behavior that day. This was very exciting bc Madison can be somewhat of a bully (she's very territorial)
*I registered her for two day a week preschool next year which I know she will love.
Caroline
*Seriously the sweetest little girl ever! Madison has always been so particular and moody; whereas, Caroline is sooooo even tempered.
* I took her in for her well check on Monday and she weighed 15.5 lbs. She was in the 90th percentile for her height and head circumference, but only the 50th for her weight. She is going to be tall and skinny I think.
*WILD CHILD....She has not begun sitting yet because she is trying with all her might to crawl (SHE ROLLS NONSTOP). She refuses to even stay in her bumbo chair; she wants to be moving constantly. Caroline and Madison have such an amazing relationship. The two of them really have a hard time being separated. Caroline's greatest desire is to keep up with her sister, and it frustrates her tremendously when she cannot keep up.
*Caroline loves veggies and hates fruit...Weirdness!!!! Her favs are squash and green beans. How strange is that? Her least fav... Sweet potatoes.
Spencer
*STUDYING ALLLLLL THE TIME!!!!
*He passed his CBSE last month, which was an amazing confidence booster for the two of us. The CBSE is essentially the practice STEP I, which Spencer is scheduled to take on June 11th. It is soooo stressful knowing that this one exam determines pretty much everything about our FUTURE!!!!
Me
WOW this isn't very skinny is it?
*I love/hate staying home. I suppose that will never change. I absolutely adore my girls, but there comes a time everyday usually around 3:00 where I AM DONE!!!! I really would like to go to grad school but quite frankly we can't afford to go into anymore debt :(
*I keep seeing friends from the past post about their international travels and I am seriously getting the ITCH!!!! I can't wait to have money... That is if we do after OBAMA CARE becomes reality. I have plotted out a 17 day trip through the Mediterranean for after Spencer finishes his residency (I prob. have too much time on my hands) and I daydream about it a lot! Sooo sad I know.
*I can't wait to start working in the yard. I am going to try my hand at a vegetable garden this year.
*I was always highly skeptical of Weight Watchers bc if you look at the ingredients for most of their products...they are filled with crap (high fructose corn syrup, etc.) However, I have been truly impressed. My goal weight is 140 (my weight my senior year of high school) and I am 5 lbs away :) SAAAWWWWWEEEETTTTT!!!!
Okay that's all I can think of... Tis sort of skinny... I mean it's bulleted :)
