Dancey Chancey

Quick updates...

Chance really dances now! He received a little guitar for Christmas, and soon after, he began to stand up, press its buttons and bounce up and down. Our first dance move. He quickly added his second step...He can stomp his foot in rhythm while bouncing up and down. It's adorable!

And Chance has cut one of the four (!) back molars that he has coming in. He's biting and gnawing on everything...I have the wounds to prove it! He's like a little puppy! Seriously, I have caught him on a few occasions this week, pulling his own sock off, and chewing on it!

Oh, and I chickened out on the potty training thing with Charlie (see my previous blog). A friend told me about how lots of boys aren't trained until they're 4 or so. Charlie's turning 3 in a couple of weeks. So, I'll wait longer...to see if he decides he is ready. He's also becoming more compliant most of the time, and not really throwing fits anymore...So I figured, why exasperate him? I think we'll just enjoy this time without throwing in new challenges. And hopefully he'll decide soon that he wants to go potty all the time. Now I see why this is such a big deal...

It's a rainy day, and just turned cold...my favorite! It was 70 yesterday and the high in 2 days will be 40! They're saying maybe some snow or ice...yeah, right, this is (South Central) Texas! But maybe this will kill all that evil cedar pollen (see 2nd to last post)! It'd be nice to be able to use my nose again! I haven't been able to breathe through my nose since last Friday. My throat keeps sending me notices that it needs a raise if it has to do all the work alone.

Anyhow, today we'll spend our first lazy Saturday in what seems like months, cuddled up, drinking hot chocolate, watching movies, playing with the boys and just enjoy the indoor life. I hope you get to enjoy the same.
