But Erlend encouraged me yesterday to just write about the everyday life things that are happening.
We are deep in language study and seem to have hit a 'aaaahhh, why don't we see progress'-stretch (which is usually happening right before you can notice progress).
So nothing new with us, but the kids have hit some major milestones.
Alia is officially potty trained and I never thought I could be so excited about somebody using the (sometimes extremely questionable, public) bathroom.
There were a week and a half of frustration but once we figured out that Alia just wants some privacy when she is using the toilet (who can blame her, right?), things have been smooth sailing.
Our firstborn is learning new words daily. I think she is adding one to each language (all four of them) each day at least. What a drooper!
Many of you know that Max has been sleeping very badly over the last 4 months and we came to a point where we could not take it anymore and tried the (controversial) crying out method.
He seems to respond to it quite well and we have gone from screaming for an hour to only 10 minutes and from waking up 20 times a night to one or two times.
Another big thing in Max's life - he got is first (really bad) haircut. I didn't realize how hard it is to cut a little boy's hair who will not sit still for one second.
Oh, yes, and he is crawling, pulling himself up and almost standing unsupported.
Celebrating potty training and a bad first haircut with our favorite treat - waffles!
