January Update #3 - The Last of our Firsts?

Fear not! The rest of our firsts have not resulted in broken bones or head injuries! But they are coming pretty darn close...

Canaan has decided to make sure that we KNOW he is a boy. He uses the drawer handles of the cupboards like his own personal ladder. He can already reach midway into the counter without climbing so adding his new climbing dimension is opening a whole new world of possibilities. It is no longer safe to have anything anywhere on a counter, or even drying in the sink. He can and will get it!

The day after Mattea's head injury - I caught him hanging off the dining room table...he climbed up, crawled across the table and then trying to get back down at a different spot sooo literally was hanging with no chair underneath him...good thing his trusty sisters (who goaded up to get up there in the first place) were also right there to rat him out:-)

 Climbing and jumping...his new favourite past times...and are the two catalysts for an increase in my heart rate:-P

 Oh yeah, and wrestling...he's totally into wrestling and beating anything and everyone up. Who teaches kids this stuff?? Lol...but on a positive note, he has also changed alot in a good way this month:-) He is talking alot more and seems to be comprehending just about everything. He got Duplo for Christmas and is loving that. He is also fascinated with colouring and reading. And of course sitting up at the school table with his sisters trying to steal whatever they have:-) Okay...so I guess some things never change:-)

 She is slowly (and I repeat slowly) recovering from her trauma...but has still been able to do all her work and piano. We are definitely back into full swing!

In update news for  Mattea (and another first;-)) she will be finished her First Grade Letter and Sounds and Language books next week (so yes Grandma Kennedy and Auntie Darla were right!) - good thing I listened and bought the Grade 2 books as well - so she will jump right into that!:-)

So there you have it...if you managed to actually read through all of these posts, you have probably seen and read more than you ever wanted to! Lol...but at least you know what we've been up to, and seen some pictures along the way:-) So here's me signing off...hopefully not for another 5 months:-P
