Home ownership makes us busy! I mean, we already had lots of stuff going on in our little family, but now we've added our house (which we LOVE) and so there NEVER seems to be a dull moment! 1st grade is going great for me! I took my first ever spelling test last Friday and i got a 100%! I also got 100% on my vocabulary assessment. I am coming home all smiles each day because I really like my teacher and all the new friends I've been meeting this year. Mornings are getting a little harder, but I have a new alarm clock that grandma got me and I am super excited about setting it every night and getting up by myself each morning. Mommy tried to get me to not use the alarm for now because she says one day I will have to use one and I should enjoy not having one now, but I rather like the responsibility of hitting the button and getting out of bed and dressed before she comes to wake me up! It makes me feel sooo old!
Myla is doing great, too! She got her cast taken off last week and the first thing she did to celebrate was TAKE A BATH!!! She was super excited to take a bath and not worry about getting her arm wet! She is also doing well getting her range of motion back at her elbow. The doctor only wants to see her one more time to make sure she can get her arm all the way extended and then he will release her! After the first couple of days she started moving around like she used to, so mommy and daddy aren't worried about her moving it. However, they do watch her a bit closer it seems because she is a little monkey and tries to climb, jump, and do all the things that scare parents of little ones who just came out of a cast!!
Our weekends have been great, too! We got to celebrate my birthday and Aunt Christy's birthday at Grandma Donna and Grandpa Dave's house. It was such a fun time and we really enjoyed seeing our cousin Alex. We are anticipating the day when our little cousin Isaac is old enough to run around with us, too! Grandpa Dave takes us on such great adventures down by the river and we just know Isaac will love it, too.
Mommy and daddy have been chopping down trees, putting lawn furniture together, building headboards, and starting to get things put on our walls. I guess it is a slow process, but they seem to be enjoying it. Me and Myla even helped a little by taking tree limbs to a big pile.
This post seems long, but it is barely the tip of the iceberg when talking about what we've been doing. Myla has discovered a love for playing with barbie and princess dolls. I've rekindled my love for coloring at night. We've played with the neighbors, taken walks around the neighborhood at night, celebrated Grandma's birthday, given fashion shows at Granny's house and managed to clean up our rooms every evening!
