Diaper Changes and Dancing







Freya loves to dance.  She received this fun magnet toy for Christmas and loves to put the pieces in (various farm animals) and then spin and dance to the music....she is really getting good at spinning and staying on her feet:) In other news...August is learning to not completely despise diaper changes, whew!  From the very first hours of life, he would scream like crazy, and now, on most occasions, we just get this happy little face...he knows now that dryness and comfort come at a cost:) I also survived my first day (yesterday) with all three kids by myself...Jason is back to work and the family is all gone:( We had a good day and we were even on time to MOMS----I have learned to have a goal time for leaving about 30 minutes before we actually have to leave---10 minutes per child at least!

Props to you for getting out of the house on time! We still struggle with that ;) Emerson was glad to talk to Jason the other day. I hope we get to catch up soon.

I'm so glad your first days solo are going well. We have that magnet too and Ryan would dance and dance and dance - he also learned the words to "Farmer in the Dell" very quickly!
