So its been over a year since I've lasted blogged. I think its time to get back into the swing of things. I figured this was as good a week as any since we've had a lot of firsts happening this week. We'll start with Norah.
Norah got grounded for the first time last Friday :-( It all started with her and the neighbor boy playing in the large mud hole in our front yard where we had ripped out some shrubs from last year. The fact that she had done it before and got in trouble for it was strike one against her. Then she proceeded to come inside and yell at Jamie and throw a tantrum, including swinging a belt at Jamie. The metal buckle slammed Jamie in the hand and left quite a mark. So, since she's four years old, for four days she lost the right to use the iPad, the right to watch any cartoons, and the killer, the right to play with any of her friends. I know it seems like punishment for her, but spending more time with mom and dad reading should not seem like a punishment. On the brighter side, on Monday Norah whistled for the first time! It was by accident when she was trying to blow on Ethan's face, but it was a definite whistle, I heard it!
As for Ethan, he has lot's of new things happening every day it seems. He is pulling himself up on everything these days. On Monday he successfully moved, while standing, from the edge of the tub to the toilet. Gross I know, but he moved from one object to the other, this is big news in our house! He also is babbling all the time, and I'm convinced that he said "dad-da" yesterday. I'll keep trying to confirm that in the ensuing days.
