Let's see how Matty and Juliet fared on their 2012 Resolutions:
Matty's 2012 Resolutions:
1. Start preschool
Success! Matty has been going to Pre-K 3 since September. Some days, he says he doesn't want to go, but he always seems to have fun!
2. Get dressed by himself
Success! Even though this means that many days he trades the outfit that Mommy dressed him in for his Despicable Me minion shirt or his bathing suit.
3. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables
Success! He enjoys peaches, pears, apples, and oranges. He always has some veggies with dinner (sometimes willingly, sometimes not). He's also a big fan of Greek yogurt these days, even though it isn't a fruit or vegetable, it is healthy for you!
4. Write his name
Work in Progress! He's doing a great job tracing out the letters in his name and we are working on writing them, too.
5. Practice his letters and numbers
Success! & Work in Progress! His favorite numbers at the moment are 1 & 4, his favorite letters are probably still M and W. :-)
6. Be kind and helpful to his little sister Juliet
Success! He was even helpful enough to assist her in escaping the crib in 2012. I'm sure this dynamic duo will get into even more together in 2013. In all seriuosness, Matty is a great big brother to Juliet.
7. Be adventurous and remember to smile!Success! Every morning he asks, "what is our plan for today?". Matty's belly laughs are one of the best sounds in the world. He'll start giggling if you mention any bad words (poop, fart, burp, butt, etc) and keep going for at least 10 minutes.
Juliet's 2012 Resolutions:
1. Learn to walk
Done and done! Juliet is fully mobile and can run with the best of them now. Don't you dare try to leave her behind--she will not stand for it!
2. Say her first word
Done! First word, first sentence--why stop there? Juliet is a chatterbox!
3. Try out a swim class
No dice--Mommy tried and couldn't find a class that would work--a lot of places didn't offer the little tot classes or only on weekends in the summer--, but this is one resolution that is definitely going to be tackled in 2013!
4. Sleep through the night** (Pretty Please??)
Hooray!! So excited that Juliet has succeeded with this resolution.
5. Try ice cream
Success! Juliet definitely has the sweet tooth. Over the summer, she would eat more ice cream than Matty.
6. Be nice to her big brother Matty
Success! (Well, mostly!) She sure does love her big brother Matty. Lately, if Matty falls done she'll go over to him and make sure he's ok--"OK??"
7. Be our happy little girl!Success! We love our smiley, happy lady. Please don't go away during the upcoming terrible twos!!
