So my babies had their birthdays recently and it was such a bitter sweet occasion. Em turned 4 and Michael turned 1. They have both grown up so much in the past few months and although it is great to see them explore and learn, the time seems to be flying by. Em will be in school next fall, when did that happen??? She sang her first song in primary up on the stage for mothers day. She mostly did a lot of smiling and looking around, but it was adorable nonetheless. That girl loves friends, which is anybody that will talk to her. She also loves to dance and help mommy cook. I just love this gorgeous girl to pieces.
My little guy, who just a few months ago could barely take a couple of steps, is now running around and getting into everything. He is such a little firecracker! These two have such distinct and different personalities which has been so much fun to watch. Em is pretty laid back and easy to deal with, she only has the occasional tantrum and is a great helper. Michael loves to cuddle (when he is not screaming and running around like a crazy person) but is really so much harder than Emily. He screams all the time, if he is happy, sad, frustrated, or just feels like screaming. It can really drain my patience some days. We are learning how to keep him happy but also trying to get him to realize it is not okay to act this way. So pretty much I am driving myself crazy. hahaha I think (or at least hope) this is all just another phase and once he can communicate better everyone will be happier. Even if I have had the hardest day with him, when he gives me a kiss and curls up for a cuddle with me my heart just melts and it makes everything worth it.
Thats the catch up with the littles! :)
