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!
