Parent Teacher Conferences + Buggy Starts Gymnastics

Peanut's first parent-teacher conferences were this week.  As expected, she is doing well in school, her teacher is very fond of having her in class, and there are no concerns for her development.  Bravo, Peanut!

Buggy had his first gymnastics class this week too (today, actually!).  I wasn't sure how he would do with following directions and waiting his turn, but he did very well with just a couple of reminders.  He did not throw any fits and really only decided to not participate the last few minutes of the class when he was completely exhausted from the rest of the 45 minute session.  So proud of my baby :).

We are working on finishing up some fixes on our house still and the to-do list is getting shorter.  Hopefully we will have the house on the market by next week.  The original goal was this week, but there was just too much to do.

We are also making many decisions about the house we are building, which is fun and causing me anxiety all at the same time.  I don't want to make poor choices!

Just a quick update tonight as I'm exhausted and heading to bed - Night!

Busy, Busy!

This time of year is usually busy, but this year in particular is especially so!  Hubby turns 30 next month, so I've been preparing surprises for 30 days of turning 30 that will start soon.  Swimming just started back up again, so we've had that going on along with dance and gymnastics.  Preschool just had a Halloween (Reformation) Party last week and Peanut's birthday was last week so that has been crazy too.  On top of all that, we are preparing to build a house - yay!  Things have been in the works for a while now, but we finally signed papers last night and are frantically trying to get our house in order to go on the market.  Yikes!  Hopefully things go well and everything is taken care of - I know it's not a great time of year to try and sell so we will have to see.

Peanut's handstands have been amazing lately, and her cartwheels and backward rolls are coming along nicely too.  She had a few weeks off from swimming so we started slow last week, but I have no doubt that she will be a fish again soon, probably even tomorrow at her lesson.  I'm still trying to figure out if I love our dance class or not, I'm unsure at this point.  Maybe it will grow on me?  I hope so.

Buggy is saying more words now, but not many.  He says Hot regularly and is trying to sound out other words he hears, but he still communicates effectively even without speech.  He'll get there, I'm sure.  He is cute as can be but very stubborn about certain things!  His personality is really coming through now.  He is very sweet until he's mad and then he yells and throws and bites occasionally (although we've been working on that and it's gotten much better).

That's life right now!  Loving every minute of the craziness!
