Kate, you say "goop" for book, and you will ONLY look at Dora goops. So today we happen to be stayng at home for the morning and I thought I'd see if Dora was on TV, thinking you'd be excited to see Dora animated. And you didn't care, you looked at the TV, then down at the book, then back at the TV, watched for a minute, then walked away. But that's ok, Dora is pretty annoying.
As you were on my lap though, you just laid back with one bink in your mouth, one in each hand, and another between your toes! That Segelhorst spread comes in "handy"! (No pun intended, but that is kinda funny!) You love those darned binkies! I had all the other kids give up binkies around 1 1/2, but am letting my baby hang on to them, probably more for my sake than yours! You're obsessed though! You always have to have as many as possible and when you're tired, you hold one squished up in your eye. I've taken some pictures, it's just so sweet, but the camera cord is MIA so none to post here.
You cock your head and babble in this little high-pitched voice when you're asking for something, even though I have no idea what you're saying.
You LOVE shoes, and think everyone should be wearing them at all times, changing them at your frequent request. You were going in Grandma's closet finding a matching pair amidst her sea of black, navy, and brown before you could even walk!
You LOVE Daddy!
I'm sure there's more...
Joel, you are Daddy's shadow, seriously. When he is home, you are never more than 10 feet away.
You love things with wheels that hook together. You sleep with the mini tractor trailer/car hauler that you got for going poop on the potty. And you tell everyone that's how you got that truck.
You don't say the "s" sound at the beginning of a word if it's followed by a consonant. You "coop" dirt with your tractor. Kate' diaper "fmells tinky". And you sit on the "top tep" to put on your boots.
"Allison is my best friend and she's a gil and I'm a boy"
Tyler, you are loving school, but testing at home. You are a sweet boy who loves to snuggle, but you've been acting out or being obnoxiously silly to get some attention when my time is taken up by caring for the little ones and homework time with Jaden. I feel terrible that some days go by without you having any special one on one time. You are making some friends at school- for the longest time you have been content with only having Lucas as a friend. You are playing soccer and are pretty good! You scored your first goal (which I never did in 6+ yrs of soccer) and didn't think it was anything special- you're just out there to play!
Jaden, you are growing up so fast! Your biggest beef with second grade was that you no longer have center time, which was always your favorite. It was a rough start, but you are doing really well and (I think) enjoying school more. You are THE BEST big sister! You are always eager and willing to take care of the little ones and are so sweet with them. You will be an excellent mother some day! You are such a creative artist- very different from your momma, so it is really neat to watch your talent develop!
Moms out there, VIDEO VIDEO VIDEO! You WILL forget the sweet sound of their voice and the way they spoke. You WILL forget their facial expressions and mannerisms. :( Sad, but true! Journals and pictures are great, but it is so awesome to go through my video clips and relive the moment! I just use my camera's low quality video for 30 second-5 minute clips here and there, but they are such treasures to me! Hug your babies all you can!
