Had a wonderful Christmas and new years! Nick's parents kept the kids for new years, and Davis actually spent the night. He did really well and they were awesome. Bribery really does work! We stayed at home and grilled out, caught up on some shows, hung out with each other, and fell asleep before midnight. It was a relaxing way to bring in the new year for sure.
Lacey started her last semester of preschool. It is so bittersweet. I can't believe my baby girl starts kindergarten this year! I don't talk about it much because I'm pretending it isn't so. But I know she is going to absolutely love it. Davis sure will miss his sissy though. He can't even stand to be awake when she's asleep, he has to go in her room and say "wake UP sissy!!" She has quite the attitude from hanging out with the older girls from the pool, and really pushes her limits. She questions everything and 'because I said so' is once again uneffective. But i've found it best to tell her why I say no, and not just say no. So she knows it's because I care and love her, and not because I'm trying to ruin her life. Hopefully that will come in handy in about 8 years.
We are hoping to have her in a swim meet soon, she just hasn't decided which one she wants to do yet. I'm excited!
Davis has been increasing his vocabulary, and he is such a big clown. He loves to say 'no', tell you to 'hop up' or 'come on', and tell you to hush. He jibber jabbers all the time and likes to say 'ready GO' just like daddy does at the pool. He will hit you and then look you in the eyes with a sad look and ask 'happened?' He Is such a nut an I think has officially hit the terrible twos. He is a cuddlebug, but rougher than Lacey was. He loves to ride on things, push toys, and play with cars. He also really likes baby dolls and pushing them around. I swear if he could push his Mater bubble machine all day long, he would. We recently discovered his fear of barbies in the bathtub. For some reason he is terrified of barbies, but only in the tub! It's absolutely hilarious and pitiful at the same time. He is also afraid of a little robot we have, and a squishy green frog. Granted, the frog looks like it has teeth... But still. He is afraid of the weirdest things. Still nursing and working on weaning. He is a stubborn monkey, but it's getting better. He's down to once or twice a day, and doesn't have to nurse to fall asleep. Soon we will have an independent little boy and I will miss this time.
Lately we've been making a lot of homemade food. I've discovered laceys love of cooking, so we've done whole wheat pizza and bread, cookies and banana bread. We love it!
