Every day, I am becoming more amazed with our son. He is almost 2 and a half, and he knows his colors, can count from 1 to 10 and he knows most of his letters. That absolutely amazes me -- its not like we work on it everyday. It just shows how much of a sponge a child's mind is. And, it definitely makes me more aware of what we do say and teach him. He will for sure pick up on everything!
On a crafting note -- I am proud of myself! I finally knit in the round on double point needles! Its not the best knitting, as I am still getting used to it, but I am finishing a pair of wool longies for Emily and the top part is knit in the round. I don't know why I was so reluctant to use double points for so long! It really isn't that hard, just takes some getting used to! I can't wait to finish and post pictures.
And, about wool longies. We are starting to transition Emily over to cloth diapers, so I am going to start knitting her wool covers and i have been trying to sew her a few covers too. (Plus, I scored about 10 diapers at a consigment sale this weekend for a great deal!) For some reason, though sewing is much easier, knitting is more fun for me right now! I am also going to have to learn how to lanolize the wool once its done. I think its the excitement of learning new things that makes the knitting more fun right now.
Enough about us for now. Off to finish the longies!

Happy Easter
Well -- the family just enjoyed a glorious Easter weekend! HE IS RISEN! We enjoyed time with both families. Dekker got to really enjoy an Easter egg hunt with his cousin Graham. And, of course, mommy ate WAY too much!
My job hunt has started. I had my first interview on Tuesday. I think it went well, but I won't hear anything for a few wees. I have two more on Friday, but I am going to cancel one. I'm just not sure what I want to do when I grow up!
On the craft side of things, I was able to sew my first nursing cover thanks to my new sewing machine (crazy sale table find at Sears!) It is so nice to have a nursing cover that completely covers us -- especially since Em can be a bit of a wild woman when she eats! She has started eating a little yogurt now too, which is nice. She's not keen on cereal though. Now if I could just get Dekker to eat fruits and veggies, meals would be great!
Still working on Emily's wool longies. They are almost half knit. I love knitting with wool and not having to work the entire pair of pants in the round (still not comfortable with doing that!)
Well, off to give Em a bath before bed and maybe knit a little more if she goes to sleep after her bath!
