It's all about the pull-ups. Seriously.

So got caught up on life - funny how that happens. It's like once you get busy, you keep going and don't stop. I think it's because once you stop, you melt down. I'm thinking that will be happening soon! TGIF long weekend - although with my husband working for an Amercian company, my weekend will indeed be long & possibly lonesome :(

What's been shakin you ask?!

Today ... I guess you'll see tonight :)

This & That

Whining - Got the biggest compliment! Brenda, who's children are very polite and not into tantrums, gave me some great advice on how to deal with Hannah's whining. Well, about 2 weeks later, she mentioned to me that she's noticed a huge difference in a positive way! I've followed her advice, tried not to raise my voice but talk to Hannah in a rational manner explaining that I don't understand when she whines and to explain to me what she wants. Shocking - it works!!! Wow!

But (a.k.a. bus) - is what Hannah points to and yells frantically to JP to get him away from her stuff and to start playing with the Bus. Sometimes it works, other's she ends up playing with the bus.

Finally - both mine play together at least 50% of the time!!! It makes my heart flutter each time they do it and makes me forget the long days. Ok, not enough to have another one.

Cheers!
