Not much going on

I have been reading all my friends blogs this past week. I feel as though I am too tired to sit down and share my thoughts. I also have not been good at taking pictures of Allison. I am already backed up with 1 year of scrapbooking. I also dont really have much to say these days. We have been busy with getting back to a routine after having Dad home for 3 weeks. Allison and I were on are way and doing well. Then Kyle got sick and Allison got attached to Dad again. Kyle got my cold I had for 3 weeks over the holidays. He is doing better now. Allison and I have been so busy with music class, hanging out with friends and toddler class. I sit here and type and think wow, Allison is about 19 months. She is changing so much. She talks more and plays more by herself. One thing Kyle and I are learning is her emotions are crazy too. She does not understand why she does certain things but she is learning more about emotions. The big thing we are teaching her now is time out. I will have to say I am very lucky with Allison. I don't have to put her in time out too much. I know that will change as she gets older. Anyways, we have a pink chair in Allison's room and we now put her on that chair for time out. She amazed me when i put here their and told her not to move and she was in time out. She stayed in the chair the whole time. One thing about Allison she does not like to be alone so when i leave her in her room for 1 min alone she sometimes will scream. Children amaze me at how much they really do understand. We have learned to explain to Allison what she did wrong and to say sorry. She says sorry in sign language and then hugs us. I hope this parenting lessons stay with her and us over time. Its all about consistency right? Anyways, we are enjoying Allison so much and are talking more about when to start for the second Hutchison. Some days I just cant think of sharing my time with another child. I enjoy Allison so much and we are having a lot of fun these days, even with all her molars and eye teeth coming in.

Don't beat yourself up over not blogging so much. Some friends (APRIL!!) blog like a mad-woman, but I don't think that I can keep up with her either. :)
The blog is really for you - so do it when you wanna.
