Holiday Break
Elliott had 2 weeks off of school and I loved it! It was a wonderful winter vacation for me. No lunches to be packed, no time commitments, we didnt need to get dressed and leave the house. We could play together all day. I kept Spencer out of school too. It was so relaxing!
One of the days we spent at Old Town park running off the sugar from an earlier birthday party.
I love these adorable boys!
shark tooth
Elliott lost his first tooth on Dec 1st, 2013 (bottom picture), and the second has been loose since Thanksgiving or longer! Hanging on by a thread.
Teeth
My biggest boy has his first loose tooth. I wiggle it every day. He is not impressed.
My little girl has her first tooth coming in.
Somehow this timing is symbolic, but I am simply too tired to analyze it in detail. *sigh*
Update: Make that 2 and 2! 2 loose for Elliott and 2 coming in for Trea.

Milestone-Elliott
Elliott, who will turn 6 on July 1st, has hit a milestone. Last night, for the first time I am aware of, was able to wake himself up and get out of bed to pee all on his own. He didn’t call for us either. I heard him get out of bed, go to the toilet, pee and return to bed.
Since he was little, he has been a ‘heavy wetter’. He was tough to potty train, and had accidents with frequency. Up until a few months ago, he wore an overnight pull up. He has always been a very hard sleeper. The pediatrician said that some kids physically aren’t ready, and to just wait it out. I was fine with that, and so was he.
It seems that the wait is over and his body is ready to take charge. I am glad we allowed him to take it at his pace.
