I've been working hard with Luna and trying to get her potty trained. She has done very well and I'm so proud of her! She likes to wear Jacek's underwear when we are hanging out at the house. At one point in the week she had on 8 pairs of Jacek's underwear. One right on top of the other. It was really cute. I have noticed that with potty training the terrible twos likes to rear it's beastly head. I remember Jacek was much the same. Luna had quite the attitude this week and it was exhausting. She would go from laughing to screaming to crying to hitting to plain psycho! It seemed as if I were dealing with a hormonal teenager at times. Luna's newest irritant is me talking on the phone. I'm not sure what brought this about but the second I take a phone call she will start screaming. I have to go into the bathroom just so I can hear what the other person on the other line is saying. She will stand outside the bathroom door and continue her tantrum and kick the door. My phone calls have to be short these days. Even though at times she can be a complete bear, she has sweet tender moments that melt my heart and make me forget any/ all temper tantrums for the moment. She gives the best hugs, eh.eh. eh! And she also gives Gordy the pig kisses, which are my favorite.
Luna- "I go poop. That's a good one!"
As Luna is developing into a toddler, Jacek is maturing a lot. I have noticed a huge difference in him this week. He was so much more laid back. Luna's moods might have something to do with it but I think he's just growing up. He has been quite the helper. He has helped me clean the house, separate and fold laundry and try to keep Luna in great spirits. When she is mad he tries to cheer her up. He really is such a remarkable big brother. He led prayer every night before dinner. "Thank you lord for giving us food. Thank you lord for giving us bread, Thank you lord for watching over us. Amen. " He was so excited about spaghetti night. It's probably the cheapest and easiest meal but my kids love "sketti".
Jacek has also started fishing. He went fishing went Matt, Rodney and Luna this past week and he caught a bunch of fish. Rodney, a skilled fisherman, was so proud of Jacek. "He caught a skip-jack. He could have sold it for $5! He also caught about 5 different kids of other fish, too." I could tell that Rodney was proud and that took Jacek over the moon. He really looks up to Rodney and Matt. He went fishing with the guys. I think I am going to try and go next week.
We also went to the Florence Aquatic center. We love that place. Jacek will float around for hours. I can tell it's very relaxing for him. Luna likes to walk around with no floaties and it makes me a nervous wreck! We all got a little sun burned and we were wiped out.
Ice cream time!
We were so tired we missed our Tuesday night Edgewood concert but we are looking forward to next week's band. It's a Beetles cover band and we look forward to seeing them every year. Last year they all signed a poster for Jacek and he hung it above his bed. We kept it chill for the rest of the week. We did our usual playtime outside and we even had a picnic.
Luna has finally learned how to correctly drink from a water bottle. She used to always put her entire mouth around the bottle. After many hours with my dad, she finally got it right!
I will end this week on this picture. Luna looks so pretty but when I took this picture she was starting to pop her Luna-tude.
"Mommy, I hate you flowers!"
