The Trifilio's are home from their trip to Fort Worth. We went to celebrate my father's retirement from AT&T...35 years. We are so incredibly proud of him!! It was a short trip quick trip, but we had a wonderful time. The party was Saturday afternoon, Sunday we spent at home with the family, and today we made a trip to our financial advisor and back to Houston. Of course if you have been keeping track this is our third trip to FTW in 5-6 weeks. So we are going to stay close to home for awhile. Traveling with two kids back and forth for quick trips take a ton out of all of us.
This past week was busy as usual. The major news is we did end up pulling Bella from school, and Wednesday was her last day. This was an extremely difficult decision, but we believe in our hearts it was the right one. Needless to say I tried to keep Bella as busy as possible. We had a wonderful playdate at the park and another home playdates (our favorite) at one of her friend's house. We had a wonderful time..and Bella loved playing with all of the "boy" toys especially a robot WALL-E. Also little man had a GREAT time pushing a car back and forth across the tile floor. Friday evening mom was able to get out and enjoy a MNO with the girls, and Saturday morning we hit the road to FTW.
The kids are doing exceptionally well as always, and I'm eager to take Frankie to his 9mth check-up this week. I still can hardly believe my baby is already 9mths old. Where does the time go? I do have to admit it is comical to watch him crawl, pull-up, stand-up etc. because he is SO TINY !!! But hopefully with the warm months approaching and cold/flu season almost over the weight will quickly follow. Again developmentally he is doing extremely well, and continues to crawl, babble, pull-up, etc. Frankie still isn't a fan of the sippy cup, but I'm not in any hurry to push it. Also we are still working on weaning him from the pacifier, but since mom had another round of a cold last week. We continued to run in his room at night and pop it back in. He doesn't get it all during the day, so I figured we are doing pretty good.
Bella my princess...this week was difficult for her, as she did sense the changes going on at school. I think this coming week will be a bit more difficult, but mom has tons of plans for her. She is still our singing and dancing queen; and is hopelessly in love with her brother. We still have our small battles of being "gentle" with Frankie, but we are working on it. Since our school situation has changed, we also are going to attempt potty training. Lord only knows how that will go.
We have another busy week filled with doctor's appointments, playdates, and more.

It is good to hear I'm not the only one who is eager to take her kids to their well check-ups. I'm always curious where they stand.
Good luck with the potty training! When you are done, you can help J. He is so stubborn - we are having trouble.
And you can tell Frankie is just as infatuated with his sister as she is with him. That sweet picture where he's looking up to her is just precious.
Maybe you'll visit with us next time....
