Oh Boy!

Okay so I OFFICIALLY am the worst blogger ever! I haven't updated since Joel started school. Whats up with that?! Christmas is 4 days away and I couldn't be more excited! I don't know who is more excited the kids or me? I cannot wait to see their faces on Christmas morning! Its definitely true that giving is better than receiving! There is nothing like seeing someone who truly loves what you have given them.

So its been busy here at the Gabert household! Having 3 kids 5 and under is busy to say the least. April is on the move now and starting to get into everything. It won't be long before she will be a full force tornado like the other 2. She is such a joy to be around these days though and she is developing such a sweet little personality! She loves Nathan the best and is even starting to say Dada now. Whether she knows what she is saying or not is another matter all on its own. I am pretty well done breast-feeding which makes me sad and happy at the same time. Being that she is my last baby and knowing I will never get to do it again makes me mourn it, but bottle-feeding is so much more convenient.

Colin is FINALLY potty trained! Its been a long road but we are finally there and he is pretty much accident free! I am so proud of him! Its crazy to think he is so big already. I swear I blinked and he grew in the moment! I wish I could just slow time down, just to keep them this size for a little while longer.. so that I can enjoy them without having to worry about the hustle and bustle of life.

Joel is doing great at school! He loves it, and has made a great friend named Conor. Its so cute to hear him talk about his friendships and I am so excited to watch him develop into a young boy! He is enjoying learning and I love hearing about the different things he is learning. He can now count well into his 40's or so and can identify all his numbers up to 20. He knows all his letters upper and lowercase and cal write all of his numbers and letters. He has also learned all of his letter sounds as well though he still has trouble on occasion. Yesterday Nathan and I were coming up with random words to ask him what they started with. Nathan asked him what weiner started with and he said "u". Man did we laugh. What a character.

Well I have lots I need to get done but I thought I should come and make a entry for once since it has been so long. I am really going to try and write more often.
