Update Time!

So, my daily PT charting didn't work out. But I'm happy to say that my girl wears big girl pants all day now with nary an accident! (did I say that out loud? knock wood!) She did a great job and seemed to pick up where we left off so it wasn't like starting from scratch. Within two or three days, she was 99% initiating potty time herself. Now she just takes herself off and I just have to follow up on the poopies. I'm so proud of her. Hopefully, she'll start waking up dry and we can do big girl pants at night also. I'm just not up for changing bed clothing in the middle of the night right now.

My big boy got his green belt in shotokon (sp?) Karate last Thursday. I was so proud of him! The class did a bunch of group activities while three Sensi looked on and then they called up different students at different times to demonstrate what they knew. It was really neat but Munchkin was afraid of the loud hus shouting. Luckily, dh showed up so that worked out.

Last week Sissy and Munchkin began ballet at a new studio. Munchkin is in the 3-4 class and loves it. Right now there's 3-4 kids in the class, including one of her little friends so that works out well. Sissy is in Ballet 1 for the first time ever and even do barre work. Someone else we know is in that class as well so it's fun knowing someone at each class. I really like the new dance place.

Charlotte is doing great. She's saying mamamam now and loves the jumparoo and playing on the floor. I haven't been successful at getting her motivated to move yet. Previously, my philosophy had been I can wait on the mobility but I don't want her to be behind either. I'm going to start working with her to at least get the synapsis in her brain going that she's supposed to be doing these things.

I picked up my first real sewing project. JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts had sundress material on sale. I chose a black, white and red ladybug pattern to make matching dresses for the older girls. I hope it goes okay. The rouching is already there so really all you have to do is hem them, sew the vertical seam and add shoulder straps. We'll see how it goes LOL! I post completed pictures.

So to end for now, here's a picture of my newest little ballerina.
