A few steps! And early mornings...

Emily has taken a few steps on her own!! She loves to practice walking holding onto our hands, moved on to taking one step between furniture and now her favourite thing to do is to do 3-4 steps between the couch, and Sean or I. She'll do the first couple of steps no problem, and then sort-of *leaps*, hurling herself in your direction, so you have to be ready to catch her. Such fun!

In other news...
Matthew. *sigh* So he gets up now to pee in the morning, rather than just going in his Pull-up. Well apparently his bladder springs into action at around 5 am. I heard him get up this morning (which involves turning on 14 lights because it's still night-time for heaven's sake), does his business... then comes to our room.  "Mommy? Mommy!" - light blaring into the room from the hallway. I'm whispering "Go back to bed, it's not time to get up, go to bed" and he's like (full volume) "WHAT? HUH? Mommy??" So I grab him and put him in our bed and that's just a whole gong show. Feet in my back, grabbing the covers, coughing, rolling around. Don't know why I bothered, I should have just gotten up.

I have to teach him to go BACK to BED - his OWN bed - when he gets up to pee. Being potty trained is not all it's cracked up to be. At least with diapers I got to sleep in.
