Elliot is prepping for first grade! Just one week from today she'll be off on a big bus to a new school to begin her number grade journey through elementary school. All her school supplies have been purchased, labeled, and stuffed into her big girl backpack. *sigh* Where did the time go?
Addie has a taken one step. Twice. I never thought that the twins would be nearly 18 months before they even attempted walking. At 18 months, Elliot was starting to potty train! (I purchased a second potty on Saturday, though...we just won't be putting it out yet.) Addie is quite pleased with herself for standing on her own in the middle of the room, but her stance is just too wide to get a well-balanced step.
Charlie has broken her own record with 12 steps. She is a slow-and-steady kind of girl, but it's working for her. The best part of those 12 steps was that we weren't saying, "Take a step! Take a step!" but rather she decided to try it on her own. She's a bit of a daredevil - she was removed from the top of the kids' picnic table earlier this week. I have also realized this week that because they are SO tiny, when they "open" a childproofed cabinet, they can slip their tiny arms in the space that it does open and pull things out. Curious children should not be so tiny.
Our venture into the nanny world begins for real tomorrow. Our first ever nanny Danielle came two days last week to meet the girls, play with them, and get to know our home and routines. Tomorrow I back to work after nearly 20 months off. I'm not too stressed about it, as it is Superintendent's Conference Day, then we have the rest of the week off. Danielle will be with us tomorrow & Wednesday. Next week - that's when I'll be a wreck.
