4 and three quarters...


Josie's 5th birthday is three months away. We started making summer plans, figuring out what sports and camps she wants to try and of course Josie's favorite subject discussing her birthday! We still haven't finalized the theme, but we know what we want to do! More on that later...

Last week we started doing a sticker chart for dry pull ups in the morning and chores. Josie has always been a heavy sleeper. I know this because the boys can yell, cry, scream and she can sleep through it. It's a gift!

I told Josie that Ben had been waking up with a dry diaper and that's all it took for her to give it a try. She can't be out done by her baby brother! We are now sleeping in unders and doing great.

She woke up at 2:30am to inform me she needed to go potty. While I didn't like getting up I was proud that she didn't have an accident. We went potty (I never miss an opportunity to use the bathroom) and headed back to bed. I tucked her in then fell back to sleep instantly. When my alarm went off at 4:45am to go running I realized her bedroom light was on. I went in there to find her reading to herself. Most kids would wake you up with the mentality "if I can't sleep neither can you". Not my four and three quarters Josie. She read to herself in hopes of falling back a sleep on her own. And for that I am very thankful (among other reasons) that I have my Josie Girl.

Amazing! Yea for Josie. She is a blessing in millions of ways. I would love to see her, her brothers and her mommy one of these days again.
