Well she finally did it... Jenessa started walking as of Feb. 5th!! She is becoming a pro, but we will be so thankful once her braces come in, to help her stabolize! Her first steps were priceless and I was so flustered that I couldn't figure out if I should holler for Josh first or find my phone to take a video! Hahaha! I found my phone after I yelled at Josh. And Jenessa just worked all night on walking. She would start in the middle of the floor, none of this from furniture thing, right in the middle!! Then she would take off in a run, not kidding it was a run and then fall after a few steps. Now three weeks later she is becoming a pro, but she is still unstable and is more comfortable if she has help. But I knew she would do it!! YaY!
Oh she also got new glasses. We were not happy with the eye glass place we started off with and so we switched. It was more expensive, but we will pay less in the long run. Especially considering Jenessa found out how to bend her glasses beyond use and then brake them, less than two weeks after she got them. She is doing so much better with them though. However, we are still working on figuring out how tight or loose they should be. Since she can't tell us this info, it is a constant guessing game!
As I stated in the previous post, we were planning on putting Jenessa in her big girl bed and we have now have a big girl in a big girl bed! All my worrying was for nothing! In fact, I told Josh I think Jenessa was more ready for the big girl bed than I was! She was so funny, the first night, she just looked at me, pulled her blanket up and then when I hugged her she hugged me briefly and then pushed me away! Wow! Thank you miss independent!! What a stinker, but she has done wonderful in her bed! If all things were that easy in life! And tonight, I wanted to see what she would do if I stayed in her bed with her. She has never been one for sleeping with us and so I wanted to just test the waters. And just so everyone knows, I doubt that little girl will ever come crawling into mom and dad's bed late at night! (Maybe) But I laid down next to her and she looked at me like I was crazy for one, then looked at daddy for answers. Which he didn't provide. He then left and turned the light off and she looked back at me and gave my face a push, as to say, "Hey, this is my bed go away!" I got the hint, gave her a kiss and then left! Again, Miss Independent at her best!! Hahaha! I am not complaining. I have a strong, loving, but independent 2 year old, who would possibly complain about that!! Now, when the tantrums start up and she is "independent" then I might not like it, but I will know that is how I raised her!
Well, I will try to keep everyone posted more often, so it isn't as long next time!!
