I'm so bad at this sometimes!! I just get out of a groove and forget to post and then I get behind and blah blah blah... anyways, it seems like it's been so much longer than 5 months but there you go, Prince T is now 5 months old!! He's so expressive and active that he's doing something new each day!! He has some of the best smiles I have ever seen, when he's really happy or excited about something he smiles so big his eyes turn into quarter moons!! He is talking more and more each day, not with words as I have to explain to Lil Man, but he's exercising his vocal cords and I fear I have another chatter box on my hands. He's mastered rolling over and he's trying to crawl.  He loves his jolly jumper and his exosaucer!! He's starting to sleep better through the nights and is even starting to soothe himself back to sleep should he wake up momentarily.  We've got a 7-8 o'clock bedtime which works really well and he'll sleep until mid...

Growing Up

Ever hear the saying, "Growing up is hard to do,"??  Well I am inclined to agree with that saying.  Growing up is hard, there are so many things you need to learn to do that you have to experience to learn them.  They are things that cannot be taught in a classroom or on your parent's knee.  Responsibility is a hard concept to learn, and you have to want to understand that concept for you to truly understand it.   Parents, teachers, grandparents, everyone really tries to teach the younger generation about responsibility.  We ask children to do homework, we ask them to clean their room or to participate in the daily chores of life, but those little things don't actually prepare them for the reality that is real life.   Now if a child doesn't do their homework, the teacher will become frustrated and the child may lose some marks, but as long as the child gets those assignments in before report cards are due, they will receive credit for the assig...
