A New Year

I know I am a little late in this but better Late than never. So here goes! I have never been one to write New Year Resolutions...lets be honest I wouls say I wanted to lose weight and then be disappointed in the end. So this year Andy and I decided we would just make some goals that we wanted to accomplish with ourselves and with Savannah. Here is our (mine) list:

Daddy and Mommy:
- Pay off Mommy's car and 2 credit cards
- Re-do our yard and bathroom as cheap as possible but still looks good
- Enjoy a date night at least every 6-8 weeks
- Go somewhere this summer just the three of us
- Eat healthier and be try to cook more meals at home
- Learn to say No! We have an extremely busy schedule

Savannah
- Stop using the Pacifier
- More words that we can understand
- work on obedience with Mommy and Daddy working on how to dicipline and when
- Love on Daddy and Mommy as much as possible

So there you go! I am proud to say that on Saturday, Andy threw out all of Savannah's pacifiers. If they aren't here we won't use them. It hasn't been easy specially when she is tired and a little cranky but she is slowly understanding they are gone. A HUGE POSITIVE to no pacifier is words. Savannah has never been one to really say a lot of words...she says MaMa, Dada. Uh-Oh, the occasional hi or bye but that is about it. Well, in two weeks (really about 5 days) she says Cat, Go, Mo (Elmo), Pa and Ma, Papa and Nana. We have been amazed!

If you're interested in some reading material, you might check out "Shepherding a Child's Heart." It's the book the church just did a class on, and it's really great for discipline. Sounds like great goals -- good luck!! :)
