Canon - 3 Things


Canon Andrew... 3 1/2 years old today. Here are 3 things about you at this age. (And pictures, that don't necessarily have to do with the things) 

 

1. As of this week, I am 85% sure you have dropped your nap and your pull-up at night. You stopped napping at school last week, and though it has made for a rough transition after school and early morning wake ups, I'm okay with it. You still napped for us last weekend and we will certainly try for the naps at home until you give us a fight, but I won't expect you to sleep at school anymore. Along with that, you've been waking up early to go potty, so we're ditching the pull-ups. These two things feel very big in terms of you completely growing out of the toddler stage! 

  


2. You talk...nonstop. Mostly, I love it. But sometimes when you are asking questions I don't know the answer to, or talking just so you won't fall asleep in the car, I have to ask you to wait. I want you to enjoy talking to me well past this age, but for now, we'll work on waiting and holding your thoughts! 

 

3. You are so physical. Every night when we get home you want daddy to wrestle you. This is just the way you play. And you've even starting bringing Ben into the playtime. Watching the 3 of you wrestling on the floor makes my heart so happy - and so glad you have a great daddy who will play that game with you! 

  

You are the best. I say this every year, but the way you have grown up so much already this year is fascinating. You are can articulate what you want and need, you make up amazing games with your friends and can even write your name! You are beginning to have preferences when it comes to playmates, but you are an all around sweet kid. I simultaneously can't wait to see what the second half of this year brings while also willing time to slow down so I can soak it all in! Love you, bug! 


P.S. - thanks to #timehop, I was reminded that I did a full review of Canon this time last year - you can find that here! So fun to reminisce, and see the things that have stayed the same.

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd

spill about your LOVE link-up

I'm linking up with A. Liz Adventures today for this fun little questionnaire!  {1} Describe your dating life prior to finding your husband/boyfriend/fiance. I had 2 serious relationships before meeting Aaron, one in high school (as serious as that can be, ha!) and one in college. Before meeting Aaron, I had been single for about 3 1/2 years. {2} Describe your husband/boyfriend/fiance in one word. How would he describe you in one word?   The word I always use to describe Aaron is steady. He is the calm to my crazy. Also, is faith is the most consistent and steadfast I've ever seen. He says to describe me in 1 word is too hard.  {3} You had a really silly fight. Embarrassing silly. What was it about? Our most frequent fight is over the dishes. And that seems silly to me.  {4} In three sentences (and only three!), describe where you both hope to be in 5 years. Surrounded by family and friends, probably with another child, in a house with a front porch

mid-month confessions

Y'all. I am SO excited for the return of mid-month confessions!! Elizabeth, over at Teaching Sam & Scout , used to do mid-week confessions that I linked up for a couple of times before her original blog shut down. Since starting at a new space and kind of rebranding herself, she's decided to get them going again, but once a month instead of once a week. AND she's partnered up with one of my best girls from Clemson, Heather! I'm really looking forward to this link-up each month! - First, I have to say, today was just one of those days, so this might be brief. - On Sunday, our youngest child, Ben (4 weeks) spit up straight into the mouth of our friend Geoff who was holding him. Yes, possibly more embarrassing for Geoff, but I felt terrible!   - When I wrote our family goals for 2015 on the blog, I purposefully left off one thing; brush Canon's teeth once a day. YES, I know. We're terrible and haven't quite worked it into our routines yet so
