January

This was a fantastic month for learning in the Cobb house.
Anthony - I explained to Anthony's teacher that we are working on his comprehension. She said, "It doesn't matter because he's a stud." He received an award for Academic achievement, and he did amazing on his mid-term he’s such a smart guy. Lately, I let him earn video game time by reading books we set the timer and how long he reads books is how long he gets to play. This get’s him excited to read to me, and I love hearing him read.
Avabelle – “Who rocks the house, Ava rocks the house.” This is something that has been said again and again this past month. Avabelle knows all her letter and sounds and is beginning to read, but best of all SHE POOPS IN THE POTTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It all started January 15th and has continued throughout the month. She has had a few pee accidents but no poop accidents. I LOVE IT!!!! This was her month to shine shine shine! Writing about it still gets me so excited!!!! I am so happy for her and us!
Louie – We have been working on Louie’s speech he says words but he doesn’t use them to communicate. His new favorite word is cocoa; he says it plain as can be. His 18 month check up went well she was happy with his weight and his motor skills. He was up down 40 times in a minute. She was talking to me and he pushed her stool over to the light and turned it off, it scared her because he is so quick. She asked how I keep up with him. I told her you just don’t rest.

Tony and I – This month was interesting, I am starting to clean out closets and drawers and it feels good. Living the quote, “Less stuff, more love to give.” The less time I spend cleaning the house with all the clutter the better I feel and the more time I spend with my kiddos. Tony is getting excited to start his gardening stuff, and me too. I love how dedicated he’s been. I want to help and encourage him any way I can. I was really thinking about how much our personalities have changed I believe I am more like he used to be and he is more like me. He’s such an amazing human bean who really cares for all of us. I couldn’t have found a more loyal person. I love him!!! I can't think of a time in my life when I've been more happy with everything than right now!
