She Does, He Does

Emma and Josh seem to spend their time outside a bit differently.

Emma likes to walk around and collect stuff. And maybe play a leisurely game of croquet...


And Josh? Well Josh likes to do basically one thing. DIG IN THE DIRT!

Long week over here. Work is nuts, Emma has some kind of eye infection and now Josh has a fever. Is it Friday yet?


Both:

1. We have started using a "Calm down" technique with Emma and Josh (I will blog more on it later, its working great!) The other day, they were playing in the family room and I was checking email in the office. I could hear them playing and before I knew it, they were yelling over something. I then heard Josh say to Emma "Go calm down!" and she proceeded to run down the hall to the nursery. When I asked where she was going, she said "Calming down"

2. They begged us for a full apple the other night and we gave it to them. They each ate the entire apple down to the core!


Emma:


1. When she woke up the other day, she told me "Emma has poop in her diaper." When I changed her, there was not a poop so I told her so. She looked at me very seriously and said "Oh, no poop? Just farts." I laughed for a few minutes straight.


Josh:



1. He has an attachment to a new pajama top that I got for him. The top has a bulldozer on it and he asks to wear it all day and all night. He also asks to wear a pair of Emma's fleece pants...that are pink. He really likes to sleep in them!

Both:

1. Bambi was on TV last weekend and we let them watch it. They loved it! We had to rent it from the library because they were asking for it all the time.

2. They had the cutest argument the other day. I asked Emma "What color is a dump truck" and she said "Pink." Josh heard and said "NO! Yellow!" and Emma replied back "Pink." They are so funny.

3. If you ask them their full name, Josh will say "Joshie Robert Groves" And Emma? Of course she says "Emma Robert Groves"



Emma:

1. She went poop on the potty! And I missed it! I never go anywhere at night but happened to go out on Monday for my Twin Mom Club's meeting. She did it that night, what a big girl!

Josh:



1. He likes to sing songs, especially the ones from his "Truck Tunes" video. He gets a lot of the words right and I can normally figure out what song he is singing.

We celebrated my grandma's birthday last weekend and in true Emma and Josh fashion, they were super excited for the cake! They also talked about how it was "GiGi's Birfday!" (which is what they call my grandma) Here are some pictures from the day:

And of course Josh stuck his hand in the cake!

Month 3: Motivation

This month, I am going to focus on Motivation for my 12 in 2012 project. My goals for the month are:

1. Research motivational people and pick out some habits from their lives that I can incorporate into them

2. Read the following books:

- You Can Create an Exceptional Life
- Success Is Not An Accident

I have heard about both books and I think both will help motivate me to live my life in a happier and more productive way.

I look forward to updating this month on these two goals. Here's to another month!
