Milestones

Since Liam is in K-garten and Elli thinks she is too, they have been "reading" everything with words. There is a "Milestones" bus that drops off one of Liam's school friends, and the kids asked what that word meant.

I tried to explain that when you achieve something, maybe you mark it in a way you can remember it. Like as you grow taller, you make a mark to chart your growth.

We've been milestoning left and right these days. Here are just a few:

• Addi potty trained
• Liam riding a 2 wheeler
• Elli starting to ride a bike w/ training wheels
• Liam learning to read & write letters & numbers
• Elli reading speed limit signs (and making sure I am 'obeying the law' as we drive)
• Reaching the 'second trimester' part of our adoption
• Graduating from PPD support groups to actual Bible study and MOPS groups
