Journey with Julia

Getting back into the swing of things



no, she wasn't in time out, not this time :)


Back at Gymnastics!

Well, we had a wonderful visit with having the cousins here, all the same it's kind of nice that things are quiet again. Julia has missed them and talks about Robert all the time and lights up when either of the boys are on the phone with her, but seems to understand that it was time for them to go back to their home. I'm glad it wasn't harder for her. She's used to people coming and going around here, but the boys stayed longer than anyone else has been able to and I was a little worried that it would be extra hard on her. Thank goodness that wasn't the case. Though I think she'd prefer to have them back today to play with. :)

Now we are just settling back into our routine of gymnastics once a week, lunches with Daddy when we can, and now gearing up for her 2nd birthday. I can hardly believe she is going to be 2 already! Doesn't seem possible and yet the date is coming up fast. I need to get her in for her shots and her 2 year appointment is already set up. I'm glad and grateful that she still likes to cuddle and am taking full advantage of that fact. She has already, as my one friend likes to describe the terrible two's, begun to declare her independence. More and more things have to be her idea or she has to at least try to do things herself first. Which is all to the good, I want her to think and do things for herself, but oh she has a stubborn streak too. We can generally come to an understanding though, so she's not nearly as stubborn as some I've seen. Actually most of the time, she's pretty good at reasoning with. So I guess I'll count my blessings there and pray it lasts! lol.
