My kids are getting BIG!

Emma is getting so big it just amazes me. She has kinda sorta stared potty training. She's peed a bunch of times and pooped once. I don't think she is quite right, but she is not even two yet, so if I see her acting like she is intent, I'll go for it.

She put on all her brothers out door gear tonight. Including one mitten. She is amazing. She talks in whole sentences and even paragraphs. She is learning new words all the time and it is so fun to hear her express herself.

Jackson is also growing and so imaginative. He can make up a game out of anything. He was playing super hero tonight. Saying, "Are you in trouble? Here comes SUPER HERO!" It was quite cute.

We just got back from a trip to see my family and they did really well being in the car for six days. For the most part. What was so fun was seeing them in the pool. Jackson was so brave! He loved the slides and went all by himself and really big one in Grand Prairie. It was so impressive. He just got on and away he went.
Then on the slide in Whitehorse, he would flop around on his belly going head first. He LOVED it! Emma was a lot slower to like the water but after a couple times she really started getting comfortable in it. She liked going down the red slide, but she asked me continually if I was going to hold her. "Mamma hold me? Mamma let go Emma, No?" I told her over and over that I wouldn't ever let her go and she was safe. She was really cute.

She is really sick at the moment and it's so sad to hear her gasping and coughing and sad. She had a fever of 104 today and slept for 3.5 hours this afternoon. I am hoping that with the increase in coughing,  she is starting to have the congestion break up in her chest.

I love my kiddos. I want to make sure that I spend good quality time with each of them so that they feel special.

Jackson and I had a conversation the other night about how much we loved each other. He asked me if I liked him more then I liked Isaac. I told him he was my favorite. He told me he loved me more then Beary. I told him I loved him more then everything. He asked if I loved him more then the moon. And then more then the house and everything in it. And then more then all the stuff I had. I told him that I loved him and Emma and Dad more then anyone or anything else in the world. And then he grinned.
