Well, it didn't take long after Kennedy began crawling to begin pulling up on EVERYTHING. We are very busy keeping after her. She's so tiny (weight-wise and compared to those her age--she's smokin' everyone in height!) it just seems so odd to watch her pull up and stand. I'm not saying that she'll be walking within the week. And probably not within the next three weeks (did I just jinx myself??); however, I would venture to guess that it will be very soon. You can watch the wheels turning in her head, as she stands; she's really trying to figure out how she can get from whatever she's standing at to something else within a few inches. I can't believe how she's developing. She's really beginning to chat a lot and move. Babies, well....children, are quite fascinating.
Jordyn had a lot of fun at her preschool Valentine's party. I had a good time watching the kids, but it was quite a relief to be done with it. It was difficult planning a party for two preschool classes by myself. Add a fire in our main classroom to the mix, and you have a whole new set of problems. A young boy, who attends the church that we rent from, intentionally set fire to our main classroom the Sunday prior to the party. All the parents and our facilitator had to completely rearrange our classes and party plans for the week. We're supposed to be back to our regular set up within a month; but we are thinking it won't be back to normal 'til next fall. The fire was a major frustration. In the end, it has really put things into perspective for us, and all is well.
This same Friday we took Jordyn to Playhouse Disney Live. She was pretty excited about it. She was mostly excited about the $18.00 toy we bought her, which probably costs $1.00 to make. :) I know, I know! This is how these things work and it's part of being a kid. Wow! I never realized how a toy could change a kid's life. I guess it's big to her! Our world revolved around this cheaply made Handy Manny toy, or as she calls it, "Handy Manny Swinger Swinger" for the entire duration of the show and the following few days. This toy is also quite dangerous if within close proximity while operating for the entire duration. It's still a favorite, but not as much as it was. Especially being that her birthday and party has passed (I'm getting to those posts after this one!). Kennedy liked the bright lights and action, but mostly she was mad that this event interrupted her nap schedule.
Jeremy and I celebrated Valentine's Day and our six-year-dating anniversary the Thursday prior to Valentine's Day--yeah, it was a VERY busy week! We had a GREAT dinner at Wolf Lodge. On the ACTUAL holiday, we had fun as a family and cooked a great steak and taters dinner. I made, from scratch, molten chocolate cakes for dessert. Mmmmm, mmm, mmm!
