Both Evey and Lucy are getting big!

My cutie!It seems like she has grown so much in the past couple of months and I'm working so much I blink and she's older. She can now sing her ABC's and she sounds like a little adult when she speaks now. There is still a lot of rambling but she communicates a lot better now. Potty training is coming along slowly. She's more receptive to it but not 100% on board yet, thats fine with me it will happen when it happens. We have been out to the lake and she had a blast on the boat. I will post pictures when I get a chance. Keeping it short for now, don't have much time to write.
A little progress is better than no progress when it comes to potty training. I feel bad because I don't have enough time off of work to be consistent. We did it one day and went through 5 or 6 pairs of big girl underwear and a few carpet clean ups but toward the end of the day she was getting better. The next day was hectic and I just didn't have the time to follow through so for now she's back in diapers :-( At the end of may I have 3 days off in a row... maybe I will try then.
A while back Evey broke my glasses and I haven't replaced em. I'm starting to need them bc I wear my contacts WAY too much. Cost..about 300 bucks uggghhh, maybe next month. neways... I was trying on different pairs and she picks up these thick 80's yellow frames and hands them to me and says momum put yellow on.... so I humor her and flash back to the 80's.
EV has never had a good sleep pattern. She's stayed up late and never really slept through the night. We had tried cutting out naps before but around 7p she would fall asleep and wake up at 10p and stay up till 1am... not so thrilled about that. So recently we tried again and for about a week now she has been napless and her bed time is 9:30-10pm. To most parents that may seem late but for my angel thats EARLY. I am thrilled, finally some time to relax at night before going to bed. Its difficult to keep her up in the evening though! Last night we were eating in front of the tv and I gave her a bite, I ate a few bites as it normally takes her twice as long to chew... I turned around to give her another bite and she was laying down fast asleep! She was not happy when we woke her up but in no time she was bouncing off the walls. She gets cranky in the afternoon without a nap but its worth the SLEEP! As for potty training its still a no go... she still flat out refuses. Bribing isn't even working on this child!
I've been working a lot, I work nights so before Evelyn goes to bed I normally call and talk to her and tell her goodnight. Evey went to the lake with my family so I could sleep. I get home and sleep oaky but I usually wake up a few times because...well theres a 2yr old running around the house lol. No big deal, neways I'm talking to her on the phone and normally its the same conversation... she says hi, she's prompted to say stuff like I love you n night night. Lately she's been more interactive and spontaneous in the things that she says. She'll say momum (i guess thats a combo of mommy and mom lol I love it) I need to talk to you! hehe she cracks me up. She's learning to put sentences together but sometimes she still uses fillers and says specific words. Well she was telling me all about the lake.... Momum grandpa's boat. dah dah dah dah water dah dah QUACK QUACK QUACK! fun... dah dah. They had fed the ducks and she remembered that... I couldn't stop laughing she sounded SO CUTE! I'm glad they went when they had the chance the weather has been cold and raining since. Thats Texas weather for you! No complaints though we definately need the rain!
Last night we went to Amy's to play Wii. We had a blast! I was less than thrilled with my wii fit age of 40 !!!!!! I thought I was in pretty good shape haha. It was the first time I tried wii fit and the games r pretty fun... maybe a mothers day present? The best part of the night was watching Paul do the hula hoop hehe. I took pictures of Amy but I'll spare her ;-) Evey even got in on the action, she was so cute immitating us!
