Buckling Down/My Kids are Awesome

Hey everyone.  My brain is a little broken right now, but I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd put something up here.

So the thing that's on my mind right now is that I've decided I'm going to bang out the rest of this first draft as fast as I can.  So the goal is 2,500-3,000+ words per day.  Today I did 2,930, so that's a decent start.

The other thing that's so cool lately is discovering how smart my kids are.  I downloaded an app to help Chaela learn to sight read, and she's really good at it.  She got a perfect score on the game!  I love all of the technology that's around to help kids learn.  I know a ton of screen time isn't good for them, but at least the screen time they have is well-spent!



Joci is learning her letters and their sounds like a pro and her language skills have been drastically improving lately (grammar and vocabulary-wise, but Chaela and I are still the only ones who consistently understand her).  



Kairi is my chunky little awesome.  She's not crawling yet, but she's making all sorts of sounds and is getting good at manipulating things with her hands.  She's also the most chill baby ever, which unquestionably makes my life 100% easier.

Anyways, I keep trying to think of things to say but I can't because my brain is broke.  But I blogged.  Yay!

Hurray for chill babies! Don't stress over not blogging, you're writing, which is so much more important! (I'm not being selfish and thinking about reading your book at all.)
