Just a blog...

So, again I do not have anything all that exciting to post, but I thought I should. I feel like I am getting a little breather here and am getting back into the swing of normal life routine. Hannah was back to school this week and I like my little routine of heading straight to the gym for kickboxing when she is at school. I do an hour long work out, head home for a shower, then head back to get her. The timing works out wonderfully and I am not stuck feeling like I have to get out to the gym after the girlies are in bed or at "0'dark thirty"- which just doesn't happen in our house. The problem, however, is that poor Claire is stuck in the car and at the gym daycare for most of our morning. She likes the gym, and when we are in the car we talk (in as much conversation you can have with a 1 1/2 year old) but I still feel badly that I am not getting any quality Mommy-Claire time in.

On the other hand, little Missy Claire is making huge strides towards independence. She takes shoes on and off by herself, has really increased her vocabulary in the past month or so, and requested to start sitting on the potty. (Hallalulla!!) So, while I am not counting my chickens just yet, I am praying for an easier time with potty training daughter number two :)

Claire-speak:

jack-jack = jacket

chooes = shoes

joo-se = juice

shishies = fishies

moowah = give me a kiss

Ry! = rice, or rice krispies at breakfast

Fr-ooo! = fruit

and many more I might have to list later :)
