Wednesday was Lew's 36th birthday and we were able to spend most of the day with him. Lexi made him a card and picked him out a nice box of cupcakes!! Next he is off to his favorite place for the rest of the week/weekend leaving just us girls to fend for ourselves. It is now Friday and so far things have been going very smoothly. We have been getting a lot of playtime in as well with a lot of cleaning. Lexi has become a great helper when it comes to the laundry and dishes and she has a blast doing both of them.
Lately I am amazed at my daughters ability to complete puzzles. They aren't the puzzles with the separate pieces and little handles anymore. They are legit puzzles and she can put them together so fast! What a smart little girl we have on our hands. She is also doing a lot of counting, finally able to get most of the numbers in the right order!
I see her coming out of her shell and into herself more and more everyday. She is such a little ball of energy, but she is also as stubborn and strong willed as her Dad. Lately my problem is disciple, I really need to learn how to stand my ground and keep to what I say. We have been working the counting to three process and for some reason three easily turns into 10 very quickly so I can avoid screaming and whining. I have told myself that she needs to learn and she needs to sit in time-out no matter how much she cries. There isn't many times when I need to use the time-out threat but lately it seems to be happening more frequently.
Crafts are her new favorite thing! We sit at the table on and off all day long and cut out shapes and glue them on paper. We color with crayons and markers and play with the glue sticks. Today for being a good girl she got a set of playdough and has been loving cutting it and making a mess for mommy to clean up.
I am now almost 18 weeks pregnant but feeling at least 8 months. The belly is every expanding and making for uncomfortable days and nights. Lexi is very interested in the baby these days and it makes me very happy. She talks about the baby and wants to touch the belly and talk to it. It is just the sweetest thing and a complete 180 from where she was a month or so ago. We talk about what a great big sister she will be to her new little brother or sister and what a big helper she will be to mommy. She is so loving and caring I can not wait to see how she reacts once the baby is finally with us. Next Thursday is our big ultrasound and I am dying to see my little baby!! Even though we will not be finding out the sex until delivery I just want a peek at the little being growing so rapidly in my belly.
Now back to the homework assignment that is due tonight that I keep finding every little thing to keep me from!!
