Jenelle took 2 spills in a row - must be a toddler thing! First she got tripped up on a treadmill then she tripped or misjudged a step on the sidewalk. This is the result - scabby nose - and this was several days after! Didn't bother her at all except that one of her friends must've touched it, anytime I asked if her nose was ok she got mad and said her friend's name. If someone asked me what happened to her nose she would crinkle it up and make a funny face, she knew they were talking about her. What a ham, though!
Everything is going well for the J-Team... Big J is in the last few weeks of school and busy with orchestra concerts, final projects, and even a dance coming up. He earned his Star rank in Scouts last month - getting closer to Eagle! Baby J is cute as ever, but I think I say that all the time. She jabbers a LOT (I knew she'd catch up...to her mom) and has the cutest expressions! I sometimes get sad watching her, realizing that she is my last baby and won't be like this forever, wouldn't be a bad idea to video tape her 100% of the time...but when she sees the camera she stops and says "Cheese!" so the cute thing she was doing/saying is forgotten - we need hidden cameras. Someday I'll figure out how to add video to my blogs, I'm sure it's simple. She practices her tantrums about once a week but I think having a "mature" mom helps... for some reason it's easier to just slide through, change the subject/distract her, or ignore the tantrum completely - even in public (although I do try to finish up and get out to avoid bothering others).
Not much else going on - getting ready for summer, so much that needs to be done. Keeping in mind that I haven't had a summer 'break' for several years - pregnant, newborn, sick husband - so I should feel like I've got all kinds of time and energy to get everything done...we'll see...ask me in September what I've accomplished.
That's it for now...I'll try to remember to do this more often for my posterity!
