What We’ve Been Up To Lately

I always have good intentions about posting more often. But then life takes over. Here’s what’s happening around the Greene household lately.

 

We’ve used cloth diapers on and off since Veronica was born. Coming off of a long break, I was excited to do some diaper shopping. So much cute fluff! And buying through a co-op means saving even more.

 

One of the ways I keep Ari busy while in the kitchen. What a big “helper.” She loves to wash things for me. She also loves standing on the step-stool and helping me measure and pour. Sometimes she even gets things in the right bowl!

 

He’s roasting a marshmallow. Hey, even Stormtroopers get hungry!

 

Not even sister Ari’s Snoopy could comfort this sad baby.

 

But the Jumperoo did the trick! Moira loves chewing on Busy Bee and bouncing up and down. The rate of bouncing is directly proportional to her level of excitement.

In a two-week period, Veronica lost two teeth! And swallowed both of them! The conversations we had each time went a lot like this:

Veronica: Mommy, Mommy, I lost a tooth!!!!

Me: Wow, that’s great, honey! Where is it?

Veronica: I don’t know.

Me: …

 

She also started Kindergarten at home with me. Things are going great so far! She is a very eager student. We do most things at home, but she has a P.E. class once a week as well as a Little Flowers Club and Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Things definitely keep us busy.

 

With Veronica we started the tradition that when potty training is complete, the trainee gets to pick out a special new toy. Looking forward to this, Jacinta had been talking about getting a mermaid for MONTHS. Finally, it arrived! Yay, Jacinta! Our second potty-training graduate.

Now we’re gearing up for fall, since it hasn’t arrived yet here on the surface of the sun. Can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store.
