My not so babies anymore, Hello Crocus

Hello spring, these were spotted this Saturday...It's coming. Niamh is quite the toddler anymore. Niamh is exploding with words, he points to tons of objects and calls it by names that we haven't actually taught him. He is picking things up fast by example. He has started putting two words together to share his thoughts and ascending stairs with a lovely step to pattern and ditching the crawl up. He can still escape the crib, but chooses not to most days. I think we will celebrate his birthday in April with a big boy bed. Life isn't crazy enough so might as well train a 2yr old to stay in bed. It wasn't so bad with the twins. Alina nowadays has had a revival of the princess outfits and can be found daily in something frilly and girly. Conlin continues to increase his vocabulary and uses it to create long sentences. From the car seat not just "I dropped my hat", but "my hat has just fallen to the floor and I cannot reach it." Don't even begin to ask about Conlin and Potty training. Both kids are becoming helpful and achieve completing chores with reminders. This weekend they learned to go on their big kid bikes with training wheels. Both of their imaginations are blossoming. Conlin is great at puzzles and Alina is quite the slap jack player; both love hungry hippos. Such beautiful gifts from the Lord!

Big windows and no curtains to let the sun rain in the morning and through the day makes it hard to dine some mornings.
