Here at the Jones house, a couple of us are learning some new things.
Quinnlyn is reading. Yes, that's right, We started with flashcards a few weeks ago and she is already up to levels 3 & 4 (meaning the flashcard levels) which includes 5 & 6 letter words. I can't believe how quickly she just picked up on it. It's a little weird explaining to her why the vowels make short sounds sometimes, and long sounds other times....but she just accepts it and keeps going. It's pretty cool seeing her accomplish such a big thing. The video above is her reading some random words:
Avery is trying some new things too. First of all, we put away her crib and she is officially in a big girl bed. The past few weeks we would let her choose between the bed & the crib....and most often she chose the crib. But it is no longer!!!! She been doing great, except that she gets up at 8 insted of 9. I am trying to train her to stay in her room quietly until I come to get her. This morning I caught her trying on her shoes....but atleast she was quiet about it!
She woke up before I could take a picture so I told her to pretend to be sleeping.....this is her 'pretending' what a goof...but a cute one!
Such a little girl in such a big bed!!!!
Also, we are getting closer to being potty trained. She has been showing 'signs' of readiness (according to what you read) since we moved out here but has hated sitting on the potty. Well, on monday I just decided to put her in underwear and start the process for REAL. So far she has done quite well. A couple of accidents, but she is going on the potty often. And thankfully, no #2 accidents (knock on wood). I am hoping that within the next few weeks, we will be out of diapers. Wish us luck. Wouldn't it be nice for me to have her potty trained before she turns 2! It sure was with Quinnlyn!
Is this picture too much for a public blog? I made sure nothing was showing????

They are growing up so so fast!!! How neat!... I dont think the picture is to much i found it really cute!!!
Ha Ha, that's too cute! I can't believe Quinnie is reading, she is so smart! And that's way nice to have Avery in a big bed...We bought Kade a toddler bed a few weeks ago because he can get out of his crib really well, but we haven't had the chance to set it up yet. In the new house we'll be able to focus on those things better, I hope! Your girls are so dang cute!!!
