The Martineau Family Blog: May 2011

We're still waiting for spring to show up, although I have a bad feeling it's just going to go straight into summer. Oh well...

The kids are getting bigger everyday and we "taking good care of Ellie" as Vince likes to say a few days a week. We try anyway... :)

Vince has been having a good spring. He loves school now, is getting glasses (!), and has two birthday parties this month for 2 of his school buddies. We started going to an athletic club and the kids have been going to the playroom. Last week the caregiver told Gabe that Vince made friends with a little girl who has been having a hard time in the room and doesn't play with anyone. We are very proud to have such a kind and considerate son who loves everyone. Now if he would just quite finding gas passing hilarious!

Mia is becoming quite the little lady. She loves her clothes and has started picking out her own clothes when I let her. She FINALLY decided to start sleeping in a big bed and give up (with some pushing) the nursing which has been nice for Mommy. A little sad that my baby is done but I'm glad she didn't put up too much of a fight, that one breaks my heart a little. We've been going swimming at the gym and Mia especially loves it. Unfortunately her ears don't as much since she got swimmer's ear. Her poor ears! But she's finally begun to really like the playroom which has been a nice break for mommy and daddy, especially mommy! We're proud of our big girl who's always smiling and totally adores her big brother.

We got a new van a couple months ago so that has been making our life much easier and comfy. It's been a wonderful addition to the family and I don't mind being THAT mom. I've never tried to be the cool mom, I'd rather be comfy and dependable!
