Lately
It seems like I have had no time to sit and organize my thoughts lately. Who am I kidding I never have time. I have too many crazy things in my head at all times. It also seems like life is kinda changing for the Bell family right now. Nothing major, just little insignificant moments in life that make me feel like we are growing.
Jamison is really starting to be a little man. He has always been a great big brother and friend, but I think he is starting to discover who he is. He challenges himself to do hard things every day. Sometimes I have to give him a big push, but he is doing it. We recently moved him downstairs to have his own room. We started out by having him sleep in the guest bedroom for several nights. The first few times ended in tears, and he couldn't do it. But he wanted it so bad. He had to face his fears of being alone and hearing noises and
aliens coming in the night to take him away etc. But he was brave and now he is doing it!
Jensen is starting to be my friend. Instead of trying to drive me to insanity, she ties to make me laugh. She has become so much more outgoing. She has made it through 2 preschool programs this year with out a meltdown and not only that but did really great! It used to be that when Jensen would go about singing and dancing she would stop the second anyone was watching. Now she just sings louder and laughs. I love the little girl she is becoming. And, I am realizing she is more like me than I thought.
Cortland has had so many changes in the last month. First of all he is now potty trained. It took all of about 3 days. I could not believe it. I prepared myself for the absolute worst. I hate potty training... under statement. But the very first night he woke up and told me had to go potty and I couldn't believe it. So, he is also night trained, not even one bed wetting accident yet. Fingers crossed. We also took his plug away a few weeks ago. This actually made me very sad. I am still in mourning about it. It means he is not my baby anymore. It also means he still cries at night about it and has a hard time falling asleep. On top of that he now has his own room. He is sad. He still says every night that he wants Jay. I have to leave his door open and sing him a thousand songs. And on top of that...he is not a fan of the NAP. Which makes for a snowball of crankiness. Nonetheless he still has a sense of humor and will do anything for a laugh.
I love these little changes. It makes me excited for what is to come and the possibilities are endless. Today I randomly got excited about all the trip Jensen and I are going to go on as mother/ daughter. I have no idea where we are going but that doesn't matter. I just love how excited it made me. Such small little joys that make every moment worth it.
