It has been since July, wow. Every time I think I might sit down and blog, I lose focus and end up doing something else like play with Lincoln, clean the house, work on my Mary Kay business (which I am not doing any more by the by), dig into God's word, or who knows the list goes on and on.
The new joy that came into our lives is now 3 years old, Lincoln Thaddeus Pickett we love you so much. Lincoln has been playing his little heart out every day since we last blogged. God has blessed me with being able to stay home with him since last April, wow it has been a year almost.
Lincoln and AbbeyEvery day is different, never a dull moment. Lincoln just soaks everything in as he plays, as we sit down to read, sit down to do flash cards, paint, work on puzzles, do imaginary play, plus so much more. His imagination never ceases to amaze me :)
Brock and I worked on potty training Lincoln back in the Summer, but he just wasn't interested at that time. Well Brock and I decided that our goal was to have him potty trained by time he was 3 and we succeeded--with the help of a smart little boy. At the end of October we were shopping for diapers and bought a larger box of them, and at the same time we bought Lincoln some big boy underwear. Needless to say the next day he wanted to open the package and got very excited to go potty. It took us maybe a week to two weeks to get him fully potty trained, we were very excited. So then we had a full package of diapers, only have using maybe two of them, but I would rather it be that way.
The past 9 months have been pretty eventful. Going to the fairs :), potty training, Lincoln gaining a new friend-- a little girl I watched for about 6 months (Eaden), spending more time with our our little friend Jorja, spending the holidays with family and friends, meeting Lincoln's new cousin (Ava) right before Christmas :),celebrating Lincoln's third birthday in January, going to see Toy Story 3 on Ice, and so much more. I really wish I had recorded every day of his life--but instead we are just enjoying the ride.
So I know this blog entry is pretty spread out and not at all in order, but there you have it. To sum it up God is Good and He always will be!
