LOTS of Updates

Ok... having a toddler, working full time, getting ready to move = not a lot of updates on the blog. The toddler is making it probably the hardest-- especially a toddler that doesn't stop moving! Brynnie is on the go and would live outside if I would let her. She is climbing all over everything and anything, and also trying to jump off whatever it is she is climbing on top of. She is saying new things each day, and surprises us with what she understands. She calls all crayons/ markers/ etc. chalk... because we use chalk a lot outside. We ask her if she is ready for her bath and she says "bath?!" and will run to the tub when we are down stairs. She says "Mai Mai" for Maia since we call her that... but hasn't figured out that isn't what you call Kolby :) She is just so much fun. I do wish she would learn to stop throwing her food on the floor. This is driving me nuts. We will keep working on it, but let's just say there has been a lot of "no" being said in our house lately.

I am getting ready to be done with school. Last day with the kiddos is tomorrow. It has been a good year, and a pretty easy transition to working with a child. I think the fact that Kelsey and Kevin have been so good with Brynn, and Brynn loving it there has helped a lot. However, I am SO looking forward to the next few months!!

Besides the end of the school year approaching... of course most of you know we bought a new home and we are moving in this Saturday! This has been keeping us busy... trying to get some things done-- painted-- and boxes hauled. I am SO excited, but also know we will have a never ending wish and to do list once we are in the house. Oh well... it is so worth it and I can't wait to be in there, have the fence in, and be able to relax in the backyard with the dogs running around!

Brynn is what I consider a pretty good eater. She finally has eaten banana, but definitely not a big fruit eater. She still loves her meat. She also loves black beans. She is still signing more and please a lot when she wants things... and she does it mainly for food, but will for other things, too. I will ask her to say please when she wants something and she will usually sign it for me. Thanks Kels! :)

Now that summer is just about here, I will be better about updating. On top of moving and getting settled, and having brynnie, my capstone has been taking up a lot of time-- as it will continue to this summer. Boy, I can't wait until that is done. Anyway, that's about all I have for now. I am exhausted and plan on heading to bed very shortly :)
