i have no pictures to show of the recent chaos my life is holding, only a filthy house and bags under my eyes. have i mentioned my youngest has sprouted five teeth in less than a month? yes sir-ree. but she seems quite happy with her new arrivals and although they are all tiny nubs, she is ever so excited to eat whole apples.
in other news:
- elias has a very handsome, freshly painted bedroom! yep, i slaved away during every second of my free time this week (even while he was in time out!) to make this kid's bedroom look magical. it is swampy green and absolutely perfect for him. i promise to post pictures soon!
- reza asked me just today "how do you spell HANNA?" as in hanna, OUR child. seriously?
- elias proclaimed "but ramen noodles ARE healthy!" upon being served asparagus, brussels sprouts, and tofu for dinner tonight.
- ada is reading! yes, reading real books, not just ones that you can tell the story by looking at the pictures! after a less than stellar "report card" from her teacher, i took matters into my own hands. she is so proud of herself and wants to read books all the time!
- hanna is standing by herself. i wish i could say she was almost walking but i think she is confusing herself with a hermit crab and only walks sideways! it must be due to the number of times she walks around the coffee table during the day.
- elias is becoming such a diva. he changes his clothes about six times a day. i find pieces of his wardrobe all over the house. and since he doesn't wipe, i have to wash all of them. this makes for serious amounts of laundry. and i do not like doing laundry.
aside from any sarcasm, i am so wonderfully thankful for all of these moments.
happy thanksgiving to all!
