How is it March already?

Jackson's newest obsession is Toy Story, while Vivienne is busy climbing and practicing walking.  They have grown so much in the last month. Jackson and I spent today playing in the snow, but we've been stuck inside most of the month.  Jackson and Vivienne are learning to play together now and it's so much fun to watch.  I still have dinner, lesson plans, and laundry to catch up on while the kids are entertained by Toy Story, so I'll keep this short.  Here are some pictures from the past couple weeks.

It's been awhile

While I have been taking lots of pictures, I have been very busy and haven't taken the time to blog lately.  Jackson is getting funnier and smarter by the minute.  Daily, I am shocked by the things he says and does.  He is really into Toy Story, trains, and dinosaurs right now.  He has decided he's going to help me teach Vivienne to talk and will sit in front of her and talk to her about everything he does.  He's started reading.  He'll pick up a sight word here and there, but is still mainly "reading" from memory.  Potty training seems to be going backward again as he is just not interested in trying these days.  We are always on the go, so maybe after a couple of weeks off, we'll try again.  I'm not too worried about it until this summer though.  He's a stubborn kid!

Vivienne is starting to walk, taking a few steps here and there.  She's using a spoon, taking turns, fighting with her brother, and gaining independence.  She cracks me up because she is so proud anytime she does something relatively new.  She will stop, clap, and look around with a huge smile until everyone in the room claps and cheers for her.  Her language is still behind, but we are making some progress.  It's hard to believe she is 13 months already today!  Her little personality is coming out more and more and she is going to be a handful!
