thanks for the gift box! lizzie loves her marine outfit.
time to admit that when it comes to lizzie, the last baby for our crowded house, her toilet training... taking months now and her pacifier addiction are low priorities for me. we talk openly with her about growing up and getting ready for school (she starts in the fall) and i just feel fine with her babyish ways. she talks clearly (sans paci) and has great ideas and insight, she plays well with others (most of the time) and makes it to the bathroom on her own when she remembers to.
maybe i am getting older and more relaxed (lazy!), or maybe i just finally get it, that she will get through each stage of development on her own time. i tend to read parenting books (a lot!) but i mostly read them to find bits and pieces of insight rather than blanket remedies for everything regarding raising kids. emily zoomed through babyhood and liz is taking her time. two different kids, two different ways and i am definitely a different mom this time around.
off to cleavers wedding! hope i remember to take my camera, i am sure it will be wacky and unique if i know cleaver!
