One day...

..I might feel all caught up.  I might have an evening to just sit back, relax, and watch TV.  But that day, is not today. :)  My husband is out of town again for the next week, and he is pestering me about blog posts and pictures of his babies since he doesn't get to see them for a while, so I'm trying to oblige. :)

And also, I've done such a bad job at blogging lately, and it makes me sad because I love going back to my old posts and reading about all the things the little ones were doing or saying, and what I was thinking, and all about our adventures, even if they were seemingly boring daily activities.  I mean I have tons of photos, and I have their yearly books, but I can't fit EVERYTHING in those (although I sure do try!).  So I'm going to try and be better, for my own sake. :)

Jackson is turning into such a little boy, and he is getting to be easier and easier, and more go with the flow.  I have sort of forced him into taking only one nap a day, so that he and Ri nap at the same time, and he now takes one big THREE HOUR nap!!  Hooray!!

He's not walking, but boy oh boy can he climb!  He can climb all the way up the slide, up steps, up onto things he shouldn't...  He loves putting his cars up and down the slide, and up and down his car ramp we got him for his birthday.

Riley is still my little energetic crazy kid.  And she is SUPER fun.  I totally love getting to hang out with her all day and listening to all the cool things she has to say.  I love listening to her ask WHY a million times a day.  How she comes up with scenarios and answers, how she reasons, how just crazy goofy she is.  I adore two year olds, tantrums and all. :)

She is missing her daddy a lot, and tells me every day "Mama I'm so sad because I lost my daddy."  When I ask her where he is, she says, "In New Zealand, that's across the ocean" and I ask her how she would get there and she says, "I could row row row my boat or I can go in an airplane!!"  She was NOT happy she didn't get to go on an airplane with her daddy!!

We implemented a sticker chart to encourage certain behaviors we'd like to see... if she gets 10 stickers, she gets prizes (like this Periwinkle toy from TinkerBell).  So far, it has worked. like. a. charm.  If only I had known that all I needed to get her to fall asleep on her own was a few stickers.... sheesh I would have done this ages ago!!

Riley, Jackson and I have a good routine in the mornings when daddy is away.  We wake up, eat breakfast, and then play play play.  We alternate between the lounge, the playroom, and then upstairs.  And you know what has provided HOURS of fun lately??  THIS box.

Riley is so proud that she can draw circles and ovals and then count how many she has done.  This was her "spaceship" that she decorated all by herself.

And Jackson?  Well, he just tries to chew on the box (and the markers), and would actually much rather play with this shape sorter.  He loves this thing, just like Riley used to!!!

I've got lots of super cute playground photos to share, but hopefully those will come tomorrow.  Since I'm husband-less I need to get as much sleep as possible to keep up with these two monkeys!!!
