January Updates

It's amazing what a little anti-biotics can do!  After a rough, rough couple weeks with lots of sickness for the Ploegs, it's amazing how much better things can be.  I certainly cannot say they are magically obedient, but they are much happier, much funnier, much sillier, much more fun. 
Lukie is really catching on to this walking thing now, although he still likes to "walk" on his knees.  He is the cutest, chubbiest, rosy-cheekiest little love bug.  Sam and Tyler have new horizons ahead too -- we are hitting the potty training hard (with some real success finally!) AND have just purchased new big boy furniture.  On a side note, I now see why people purchase furniture already assembled ... it's a bear!  But in any event, once we finally get both beds up and running, they can finally move out of their cribs (which I'm pretty sure they love and will be a little sad about... me too...).
The twins are pretty much phasing out of naps these days; maybe once or twice a week they still need one (usually with Kathy our nanny or Gramma Ploeg) but generally not.  They do get a little testy towards the end of the day, but night time goes much smoother without naps.  That said, they sleep from about 830 at night til 800am.  Lukie is down to one nap and usually turns in around 1230 or 100pm and conks out for a couple hours.  I LOVE my Lukie, but it is nice to have a little time to just be with the twins (get out the paint, go outside, etc.) or get something done without a little ankle biter for a few hours! 
Other than that, life continues as normal.  Jack's job is going pretty well, my job is going pretty well, the kids are busy, and we just kinda go on day by day.  :)
