While we were at the good Ole' Walmart last night picking up a few things that we needed, we past the jewelry section, where they also do the ear piercing. At that point we hadn't brought Cadence, but had kept mentioning it. Finally last night she is dead set on getting her ears pierced, so we asked if they were still able to do them. To bad they weren't! The lady told us to come back tomorrow when there was going to be a second person there so they could do both ears at the same time. Well, Cadence didn't like that and through the biggest fit!! Finally she settled down and was fine with it before we even left the store.
Since I have a daughter that won't quit cutting on her own hair, I have finally decided to grow out my own hair as long as she promises to not cut hers anymore. I am not really a big fan of myself and having long hair, but I am just waiting to see how long this is going to last.
Cadence also is really wanting to learn how to read, so with this upcoming year that we are just a few days away from I am going to try to teach her. We are going to get her a V-Reader and lots of other books and little electronic devices that will help her along the way. I am so excited to help her. We have the ABC's posted in her bedroom which she knows really well, so here we are at the next step, putting those letters together to make words!! She really is growing up way to fast. It doesn't seem that that long ago she was just learning her ABC's, but now she wants her ears pierced and to learn how to read!!! My baby is growing up to fast!!!:(
Chazlyn on the other hand hasn't quite learned how to put two words together. I am not to worried about this since she's not even two yet. Yet in her own baby way, she too is growing up way to fast. She crawled and walked early, when all I wanted was her to stay baby for longer, and in her own way, she is! She rarely lets me help her with much of anything anymore, even when it comes to zipping up a zipper on her jacket, which she can't do!
At times I get so frustrated with these kids that I have no idea what to do (a point that most stay at home parents get to, or even for parents that work), but I truly am grateful to have these little people and wouldn't trade either for anything. That may sound strange coming from me, but it has taken me a little longer than may be myself or an outsider that gets it has thought that it should, but these kids are a gift! They are mine and I need to take sometime and teach them the way that I should. This year we are going to work on reading the Book of Mormon with our kids, even if that means we are only reading 1-3 verses a night. I am learning to take things little by little with my 2 small kids opposed to trying to cram a bunch into an attention span that is getting little to nothing out of what I am trying to teach them. Yet again, another thing for me to work on in this upcoming year. I need to learnt to relax and just roll with things, especially with the kiddos!:)
