Tuesday

Well, we certainly stuck to doing nothing yesterday! I think as a result of her cold, Rory was very clingy and content to just stay on my lap yesterday so we read endless books and sang along of songs! Her language and vocabulary are just amazing to me. In the last week, and last couple of days especially, it seems that she has learned so much. For instance, the books we read yesterday, she is starting to know a few words from each page and to say them as she "reads" the books back to me. She now says "Nanden, 'mon" (Rory words for Camden, come on" and several other two word phrases. She started saying "milk" instead of "mmmmmmmmmmma" yesterday, which made me kind of sad. "Mmmmmmmma" was the first word she said for us. I think the Korean word for milk or more sounds like "ma ma ma" so that helped her make the transition during those early days. Brian and I both shared a little moment of sadness last night as she chattered away. I mean, obviously, we want her to learn, and these stages are fun because she learns something new every day, but she is just growing up so quickly. It really does make such a big difference when you miss the first 17 months of your child's life.

We did manage to take a walk last night with the kids and Camden rode his bike. We need to be working more on riding the bike - he's still in training wheels!

On today's agenda is catching up on the things we didn't do yesterday such as the trip to the bank, laundry, and getting the house back in order. Brian has a big meeting after school today that he's worried about. He's going to be interviewed by the accreditation group that is at his school today. I'm sure he'll do fine.

Despite a call from the soccer coach last week saying that we will no longer be having practice two times a week, after the game on Saturday (which they lost, of course), he said we're back to two practices a week. I think we'll be glad when this season is over. Did I mention Camden was captain this past week and made a goal for his team? That's fairly significant since there have been very few goals for his team this season!


This is actually a two-page layout and will be next to each other in the scrapbook. My mom and Camden created a jack-o-lantern this weekend. Rory didn't help, but of course couldn't stop herself from jumping into the picture!
