Everything is great here. We are all adjusting to me working part time. I work 2 days a week and one weekend a month. I'm still working at the same hospital in Van Buren. I've decided against trying to work for Wal-Mart. They drove me crazy!
I've really enjoyed being at home more with the girls. I'm trying to teach Alivia how to write her letters and numbers. She's great at recognizing her numbers, and has already learned some basic addition! Aleigh is doing great with feeding herself, and she has even started potty training. I'm so excited considering the fact that Alivia just got potty trained, and we were beginning to think that it was never going to happen! Aleigh still doesn't talk very much, but she knows several signs and has invented some of her own to let us know what she wants (lip gloss is my favorite!). I think her favorite word is "go" because she always wants to be on the go!
In her spare time, Alivia has been campaigning for John McCain and Sarah Palin. We know that it's looking bleak, but she keeps trying (and so do we)!
Today, Alivia, Aleigh, and I went to Flame Gymnastics and enrolled Alivia in a "Tiny Tots" gymnastics class. She will go for an hour each week (on Mondays) starting on November 3rd. She will really love being around other kids her age. She is so excited!
Alivia is also getting excited about Halloween and Christmas. She already wants every toy she sees on TV. The girls are both going to be pirates for Halloween. I had to talk Alivia into letting Aleigh dress up as a pirate, too. Alivia wanted her to be a pumpkin again.
