Ambition

The weather can’t decide what its doing – 80, 60, 80, 60 – but we don’t mind.  It gives us a chance to explore and learn new things.  Who has more ambition - Johnny to try and teach Myla checkers, or her to want to learn?  Myla’s little sponge has grown since she started school, even though she takes a while to tell us what she learned.  They have been focusing on shapes and colors this month and she’s had a lot of fun going.  She’s also wasted no time in getting a cold which forced her to miss a day or two, but she’s loving it.  She’s also been going to gymnastics every week and today she was so excited to tell me what she did, I couldn’t believe it.  I think the whole month has made her grow so much.

Kinsley has been using her own ambition in lunging forward after a toy or a Myla or a kitty.  Still not rolling over, and she can’t quite figure out how she got on her tummy once she gets what she wants.  This little action makes me think she’s not going to bother with the whole rolling thing – let’s get straight to crawling!  She’s not yet, but will in no time I’m afraid.  She too caught Myla’s cold but she’s been doing better a little every day.  No teeth, but she’s not letting that stop her – the basic baby food, or a little bit of biscuit, or cheese, or puffs.  She watches the spoon go to our mouths and sometimes smacks her lips.  She’s ready!

We celebrated Johnny’s birthday this week with some cherry cheesecake and time with his girls.  They think he’s pretty awesome – and he’s a little smitten too!
