Both pumpkin and princess had their birthdays this week. Pumpkin is at the ripe old age of 4 and princess has just doubled her age to 2. This past year has really been full of surprises.
In the last twelve months, pumpkin underwent his very first surgery to place tubes in his ears and he was accepted into a local preschool program. He is doing fabulous with school and his speech has drastically improved with speech therapy at school. He can spell his name out loud and recognize it on paper. Also in the late spring, pumpkin was finally 100% potty trained. He is a very active little boy and loves to play outside year round.
Princess has really changed. Her hair has finally grown enough to put it in a little ponytail. Although, it is still so fine that barrettes and clips will not stay in place. She is so active, always trying to do what big brother is doing. Most of her pace is that of a constant run! She squeaks her little sentences. Like: "I got it." "What's that?" "What are you doing?" "I want up!" She can count to ten and sings most of her ABCs.
We had their joint birthday party this afternoon. Curious George was the theme! Everyone had a lot of fun. We made monkey bracelets with pony beads, star beads, a monkey bead and colored pipe cleaners. Then we sung happy birthday and the kids opened their presents. Followed by cupcakes and ice cream. Once everyone was done, we headed outside and went sledding on the hill in our yard.
I wonder what adventures this next year will hold. Maybe pumpkin will learn to ride a bike or help dig a hole for a plant. I hope that this coming year is filled with learning to write our letters and numbers and spelling his name on paper. I have high hopes that princess may become potty trained and look forward to her speech becoming more pronounced.
