Good guess!
Today has been kind of an unproductive day in many respects, because the kids have been uber-fussy and I spent the whole afternoon trying to get them to take naps! It was kind of like herding cats. As soon as you get one back in his/her room, the others all swarm away...
BUT I did manage to make our homemade gluten free pizza for Family Night, which we attempt to observe every Friday, with pizza and some form of game or movie or interaction with us all together! And then about 5 o'clock, my father in law dropped by for a few minutes, and all of us sudden Elora started walking for him! She has been standing incredibly well for almost 2 months, and "cruising" along all the furniture, and about a month ago she took 3 steps and then decided she would rather crawl. I haven't seen any walking at all since then...until today! I was so excited that she did it while Dad was here, because even though they live here in town (or in the mountains), we don't get to see them that often due to my mother in law's health problems. (Let's face it, 4 kids ages 5 and under can be quite overwhelming even when you feel well!) Joseph took his first steps on Dad's birthday, and now he's seen Elora's too! Yay!
So I am chalking this day up in the "win" category even though the house is messy and I have a killer headache and didn't get anything done today. Focus on the victories, right? ;-)
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
Yay! She is such a cutie, I can't wait to see her
