This week has been an amazing week of milestones in Micah and Kiersten's lives. On Monday, while talking with a friend of ours, she mentioned that Micah was well on his way to being potty trained...he could tell when he needed to go. That Tuesday morning, Micah worked hard at sitting on the potty and keeping his new Pull-Ups clean. Wednesday followed with the same hard work. Today, though a bit lax in his efforts (or maybe Mommy's lack of effort), he is doing very well with the motivation to "do it like Macy does!" (Thanks, Bethany, for your daughter's wonderful influence!)
Kiersten was not to be forgotten and has put in her milestone as well by making more steps since Tuesday morning, working on a sidewinder type walk, carefully trying her footing with both feet instead of one. She has been working on more words and taking time to practice her speech instead of nap time...I wonder if it's time to move on to one nap per day?
What a blessing to see our little ones grow! God has been so good to us. It is a joy to be where we are and growing in His timing!
Hooray - it truly is a God-given blessing to share in shaping these little lives!
ReplyDeleteKeep me posted on how the dropping the morning nap goes...I've heard that it can be pretty tough. I'm trying to enjoy Jacob's as long as it lasts :)
Yay for Micah and Kiersten! Looking forward to seeing you guys this weekend. Nice hammock too! (I'm too lazy to see if that spelling is correct.)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rachel, for the comment. Dropping the morning nap may be in the distant future still, but it has been interesting to watch Kiki sleep longer in the afternoons when she skips her morning nap. I'll still hold onto two naps until I know for sure, but every-once-in-a-while it's been great not to worry about skipping that first nap =). I kept Micah's going for quite some time (especially during my recooperating time with Kiersten), until I knew he was only playing during that first nap. That was a definite clue!
ReplyDeleteRuth, can't wait to see you, too! Wahoo!
