This has been a very busy few weeks for us, in large part because my children just keep giving me things to cry proud tears over. I might be a bit biased but they really are amazing little people!
Kiddo
We took kiddo to a ATA competition about 6 weeks ago were she got first in combat sparring. I looked like a crazy woman whooping and cheering for her. Recently I checked the standings and it appears that she is going to get another state title this year. This one will be for... combat sparring.
Two weeks ago the boys and I spent the day traveling to Kiddo's National Junior Honor Society induction! Go Kiddo! More proud tears!
Last week Hubby took the day off of work and we all drove out for Kiddo's choir concert where she had her first ever solo! She did really well! :) The tears of pride just keep flowing!
Boogie
Boogie has been dancing for 3 years now. He loves dancing and I often hear that dancing is his life, so it should come as no surprise that his proud points have mostly revolves around dance.
The day that his dance studio moved was picture day and I couldn't help but melt at how cute he looked. I am really looking forward to seeing just how adorable the pictures are!
The next week was his dance recital. I think that I can safely say that he hit the nail on the head with both his dances. He was adorable and radiated happiness being on that stage! Then during curtain call he won an award from the studio for being the most dedicated dancer. And he definitely is a dedicated dancer! So proud of him!
In the midst of all that we found out that he has been invited to join the competition team for next year. It will be the first year of competition team and it is invitation only so it is so very exciting! I'll love getting to have more opportunities to watch him radiate on stage!
Willkins
My little Willkins has had a few milestones of his own.
Will started taking a few steps here and there a few months ago but in the last month he went from a few steps to walking all over the place. That baby can really move out. He walks sideways, backwards and can pivot around. He can walk then bend over and pick something up and take off again. He really pulled my heartstrings when I watched him learn how to walk with shoes on. He's just soooo cute!
Will has also started really conveying what he wants. He talks some and he also makes up his own little signs. It can be a funny game of charades but it is also wonderful to have a child who works to make you understand what he means instead of just yelling at his mommy!
The in utero hero
The latest/upcoming addition to the family is doing what babies do best- growing!
There is a strong little heartbeat. At my last appointment the nurse practitioner found the heartbeat immediately but couldn't keep up with the baby because it was swimming like Micheal Phelps. Hubby was listening to the heartbeat the other day and the baby moved. He tried to track it... the baby went from far left to far right like shabow!
I am utterly exhausted all the time which I choose to believe is the baby using my energy up to help grow. If that is all right this baby is growing faster than a race car drives!
Finally, about four nights ago I couldn't sleep. I couldn't sleep because this new little baby was tickling my belly for hours! It was amazing! Go baby!
