My preemie
is now a hulking monster of a toddler. We went for his 18 month checkup, and our little peanut, who was 4 pounds and change when we brought him home, is now in the 75th percentile for weight and the 90th percentile for height!! Some pictures for comparison:

Amazing. It looks like the kid on the right ate the kid on the left. And then stole his chair…
What cute pictures—great idea to show how much he’s changed!!
Can I ask about the Motivated Moms? Is it much different from the Fly Lady plans?
Thanks!
June 23rd, 2007 at 6:02 pmPersonally, I found Motivated Moms to be more straightforward and simpler than flylady. However, I think (again this is just my opinion) flylady is better for decluttering. Motivated moms has a list of everyday chores (making beds, sweeping kitchen, etc) and shorter lists of chores for individual days. I like it because I can look at the list and know that when I finish those chores I’m done for the day. Checking items off the list makes me feel accomplished. Even if the house isn’t perfect at the end of the day, I can look over the list and know that I did *something.*
I still shine my sink, though. Flylady instilled a love of clean, shiny sinks in my heart.
June 23rd, 2007 at 10:05 pmI still shine my sink, too, even though I don;t do much else from flylady! I also always think of her saying (something like this, not sure if exact)- “housework done imperfectly still blesses the family”.

What a cutie! Isn’t it amazing how much they change! My Charlie is 9.5months and I cna’t believe that his first yr of life is almost up! my, how it flies!
