Jacket

My mom tells the story about how she would dress me in the morning and then go get dress and when she came back I had completely undressed myself. I knew this day might come but not yet.

This morning Janna was refusing to put her jacket on, so I forced it on her and zipped it up. I then went into the kitchen to get my purse. When I came back 5 seconds later she had the jacket completely off. I had no idea she could do it herself. We have always helped her take it off after school. Not worth the battle today I grab the jacket, my purse, her bag, and her and took her to the car with no jacket.

I knew my little girl was growing up and learning new things everyday and she still is able to to surprise me.

Potty

Janna peed in the potty at daycare yesterday after telling the teacher she needed to go potty. I am so proud of my little girl! She has sat on the potty numerous times but has never gone. Yeah Janna!

Oh What A Wonderful Day

Janna went to sleep by 8pm and only after 15 minutes of me in there helping. Yeah!!! Then a wonderful thing happened....she slept through the night until 6:20 when I was getting out of the shower. Sleep is a wonderful thing, it makes everything better and you happier. Maybe that is why on the 7th day God rested. Maybe that is why he gave us the sabbath. After having many night is a row of little to no sleep and over an hour to get her to sleep this is a big deal:) Today is a good day!

Isaac and I have had a lot going on the past week. To name a few... car battery quiting, loved ones in the hospital, sickness, etc. Each situation has worked itself out for the most part. God takes great care of us. But it has been a week of many what else can go wrong..... Usually on the way to school Janna is fussy, crying, saying no no no, or just plain quiet. She doesn't wake up well (just like her parents). Well today was different, the whole way to school she sang " I happy" as the chorus and the other words I have no idea but it was cute. She was so happy. It was just what I needed to make me smile and assure me that it all works out and God really does get us through the rough times and wants us to smile.

Letters

We are working on teaching Janna her letters. I would highly recommend The Leap Frog Letter Factory to any parent trying to teach letters. Janna loves this video. She can pick the letter "A" out of a pile and go AAAhhhh or she also says AAapple.

When she wants her bath tub letters in the bath instead of her fish and ducks she goes " Eeee Oooo AAAah" It is so cute.

I would also recommend www.seasamestreetworkshop.org and "Elmo's keyboard-o -roma". Janna loves to press the letters on the keyboard and watch Elmo with the sounds.

I am proud of all that Janna is learning and look forward to many more letters and sounds:)
