Today, I was tickling Grayson when he shrieked "Enough, enough! I believe you've tickled my Christmas treats right out of me!"
Today, Scarlett learned how to turn the water on and off in the bathroom and also said "off" for the first time.
Today, I hung up Scarlett's first finger-painting.
Today, Scarlett said "Lily" for the first time.
Today, my son overcame his embarrassment and fear and apologized for his bad behavior. It took much longer than I would have liked, but I'm proud of him for owning his mistakes.
Today, my dishwasher is finally back up and running, just in time for Christmas parties and festivities.
Today, I feel more balanced and centered than I have in weeks, and am actually looking forward to all of our upcoming celebrations instead of being overwhelmed by all I have to do.
A week ago today Scarlett climbed out of her crib and made her way down the stairs all on her own. Today she is content to sit in her crib and play with a few toys until her tired little body convinces her to sleep.
Today, I have watched my children run, jump, play, sing, dance, and giggle with joy in my heart.

Grayson Jacob
My Little Man
Otherwise known as Gray or Bug, our firstborn is quite the little athlete. He loves all things sports, and talks quite often about being a "professional" when he's big. He has a gentle soul and loves being a big brother. Some of his other favorite things are music, creating art, running, and figuring out how things work, even if it means destroying something in the process. He turned 5 in July and is thoroughly enjoying Kindergarten.
Scarlett Hope
My Little Daredevil
AKA Lettie or Monkey, our little girl is quite a spitfire. Scarlett turned 2 in September. She definitely has a mind of her own and is very strong-willed. She loves to climb on and jump off of everything in sight. Some of her favorite things are books, baby dolls, and monster trucks, though not necessarily in that order. She has a flair for the dramatic, a great sense of humor, and loves figuring out how to make people laugh.

Parenting is a gift. It is also a gift to read your reflections on this period in the lives of your children.
