Just a quick run down...

...At 3am while I sit here and watch the weather and keep hoping that the weather man is WRONG!


Aria

• She is OFFICIALLY THREE. Man this birthday has me more emotional that the past two.
• She has the attitude of a three year old.
• She is completely day potty trained. We put her in panties under a pullup every night so she feels wet when she pees at night but she still has about one wet pullup a week.
• She still doesn't sleep. By doesn't sleep what I really mean is I don't sleep. Aria is often up til 2 or 3 am EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT.We have tried all those tips and tricks on getting your kid to sleep yeah...they don't work for her. Next stop? Talking to her dr about natural sleep aids before mommy loses her mind!
• That evil toe fungus has reared it's ugly head again. She goes to the dr on Monday for her well baby check. We will be having a nice long heart to heart about Aria and her constant can't-kick-this-whatever issues. No one else here has the fungus and I am a tiny bit OCD about how clean my bathroom and floors are. So what is the deal here man?
• Aria is also still HAPPILY rear facing. She is plenty big enough to forward face so she has on a few occasions(but NEVER before two years old) and she very much prefers to rear face, which is ok with mommy, Id rather her be safer anyway.
  

Cora

• Cora is almost 21 months old. I can't tell you how big she is because she isn't due for any shots right now so she doesn't need to see the dr until she turns two.
• Cora is most certainly almost two. She pushes our buttons daily getting into stuff she knows better than messing with.
• Cora has an amazing vocabulary. Maybe this is partly because Aria was slipping behind at Cora's age and maybe Cora really is saying a lot but it just AMAZES me house much she learns every day.

Dave
Is doing well. Currently he has a little bug that kept him home from work yesterday but he seems to be feeling MUCH better as the day progressed. His diabetes is COMPLETELY under control. When I look back to how worried we were when we found out, I feel silly. I felt so overwhelmed with the idea of having to learn to cook differently, but things are going so well with him that he has a lot more freedom than we originally thought he would have. Which also leads to me having my freedom back in the kitchen.

Myself
I'm doing well. Only sleeping 5ish hours a night is really starting to wear on me.(Aria goes to sleep between 2 and 3am, Cora is always up between 7 and 8am) I'm getting rather excited to start school...as long as we get a handle on Aria's lack of sleep.

Now, I'm going to go back to looking at the weather every 5 mintues. We had big plans to take Aria on her first trip to the zoo for her birthday...and of course its going to rain...stupid mother nature!
