Already lonely...

This is one of my favorite videos of Addison dancing. It was taken on Valentine's morning. Our plan was to send it to everyone that day, but as you can see, it never happened. So, happy late Valentine's Day!

Well, John left for Boston today to begin his PhD program, and I am lonely already. He will be gone for 8 days. It is, by far, the longest amount of time we've ever spent apart. I hope that he really enjoys his time there, and that it gets him even more excited about the program. I guess, on a positive note, maybe I'll spend the time after Addi goes to bed perfecting my blogging skills. My goal is to get some videos uploaded. I've been teaching summer school this week (5th grade math! Scary!) on top of having laryngitis, so I must say that I'm looking forward to tomorrow (FRIDAY)! Addison, Anders, and I plan on having lots of "girl time" this weekend and next week. We sure will miss John, though (especially on Father's Day). Here are some funny things that Addison said today:

(in the bath tub)

"No soap!"

No, there's not any soap.

"need soap"

"Mommy get some."

I'm not sure where any is?! (trying to make her forget about getting my bar of soap)

"find some"

*I thought that was hysterical!

(on the changing table)(Sorry- it's a little gross, but too cute! It's neat having actual conversations now!)

"poo-poo"

Yes, you have a poo-poo, and Mommy's going to change it.

"poo-poo in potty"

Yes, you need to learn to poo-poo in the potty.

"no floor"

That's right, you don't poo-poo on the floor. (She poo-pooed on the floor yesterday, so we had to have a talk about that. At least she listened!)

"no pool"

Yes, you don't poo-poo in the pool. (Thankfully, she's never done that, but she sure does talk about it.)

This is a cute video of Addison being entertained by her cousins, Dartmouth and Jett. I just love to hear her sweet laugh!
