After a 4 month hiatus- thanks to my work! I'm back to blogging again. So mom, Ginger, I hope you enjoy! :)
Quick update on the family: Lawson is running around like a maniac. He's into everything and is 100% boy. He's starting to talk more and will get frustrated if you don't understand what's he's saying (a majority of words sound like "Ball" so he squeals often out of frustration for us not understanding him). He is Harleigh's shadow, he wants to do what "sissy" is doing (he will make a "ssssss" sound and that's "sissy"). He still is a great eater, and is mastering the fork and spoon, which he really does a great job with. Lawson also enjoys outside time- push toys, balls, golf clubs, slides, swings, water toys, bikes, you name it! He sleeps great these days typically 7pm-7am.
Harleigh is at a great age. She is a talker and is really getting into using her imagination. We will take turns telling a story to one another and she does a good job with keeping it moving which is surprising for a 3 year old. She also is the queen of phrases- most of the time when we ask her to do something like "Harleigh, let's pick up our toys and put them away" she'll respond with "Maybe on Friday". She doesn't mean it in a disrespectful way just trying to use what we say and incorporate it into or language. "Probably" is another one of her favorites. She loves, loves, loves her brother. She is a little mama to him. When she gets home from school she typically runs to him and gives him a hug and tells him what she made at school. She loves to read him books, and will get frustrated if he doesn't listen or sit still. She is eating better, thanks to a "gentle" nudge from mom and dad (i.e., timer) and loves to watch Dora the Explorer, Little Einsteins, and Max and Ruby.
A big change for the Kamm family is that Harleigh and Lawson are getting more "mom time". I've been able to transition to a SAHM (Stay At Home Mom), and will be able to get more time with kiddos. I'll miss working, but I think in the long term I won't regret taking some time with the kids.
