Goodbye Winter

I never thought I'd be so excited for it to be 50 degrees out. I love the warm weather and it seems every year when winter rolls around, it lasts longer and longer and it gets colder and colder. Ever since I was little I always pictured myself being a Florida girl, and I am still hoping for that one day.

We had a pretty good winter this round and Kyleah and I did what we like to call hibernation. I think we only made it outside to play in the snow once, but that was good enough for me! Brrr!

I have officially started my Spring countdown! Only 17 days left and I am hoping for plenty of thunderstorm springy days and tons of 90 degree summer days. No other hopes, but to have tons of fun with Kyleah and Corey the next couple of seasons. I got out Corey's yearly planner from work and started to pencil in all of our plans this summer and come to find out we will be pretty busy. Poor Corey probably won't get a day of rest! hehe

Starting the beginning of next month, Kyleah will start her swimming lessons and we are very excited. I have my every mothers worries of Kyleah in the water, with her audacious self! Here recently, Kyleah and I filled the bathtub up full of water and were having tons of fun, and she learned she could put her face under! I think I took it very well and was teaching her to blow bubbles under water...you know to get rid of my fear of her breathing it in...This kind of gives me a peace of mind about the whole Kyleah and water concept. Wooh.

We have just about got down potty training and will be glad to not buy diapers anymore...well at least for the next couple years. I've been letting Kyleah run around in her favorite outfit the past two days (her birthday suit) and luckily we haven't had any visitors besides my mom! lol I think she's really enjoying the freedom without a diaper. Kyleah had an accident in my moms car today and was pretty upset about it. Kyleah told me twice she had to potty, but there wasn't much to do being on the road. lol Needless to say, all three of us were pretty disturbed about the choice. I don't know what was worse, to be the one sitting in it or the one smelling it..or just to be both I guess!

Kyleah really seems to be growing up fast here recently and her personality is indeed starting to pop. With tons of "I bub you's" and calling for "mommy!", I don't know what to expect next. She helps with laundry, the dishes, loves to cook, and picks up her toys when told to! My little Monkeydoodle is getting so big! I can't wait to see what these next few months brings us!
