Cole has finally (after 13 months of being the sweetest, most easy going, happiest, adorable little baby in the world) started showing a different side... We have now been introduced to a little terror!!! He gets into EVERYTHING and is all over the place!!! He is so smart that it just amazes me but if I let him out of my site, he is probably getting into trouble somewhere in a different spot in the house! He climbs on the stepstool in the bathroom and grabs one of Caiden's flossers to floss his teeth with or grabs the soap container and sucks on it (yes, I move them out of reach, but sometimes little hands dont put them back far enough). He opens the dishwasher and pulls things out and walks around the house with them. He loves helping put things in the washing machine- like his dirty diaper that's waiting to be put in the trash. Don't get me wrong, he is still just as sweet and lovable, but now he just keeps me on my toes!!! (Yes, we know what it means to baby proof a house, and yes, we have a gate...) :-)
Ellee is loving the school time I am doing with her these days. She loves to write and draw and color. She enjoys singing songs and reading books. She loves playing with her baby dolls and loves playing with her brothers. She is all girl and loves wearing spinny dresses and pretty clips in her hair that match her outfit. A few weeks back, she was having a hard time sleeping one night, so I ended up holding her in my arms and rocking her like a baby until she fell asleep and it brought me back to cuddling her when she was tiny. Such a special memory with my sweet girl.
Caiden has enjoyed his school work as well- learning how to add numbers and sounding out sight words. I just introduced writing with dry erase markers on page protectors so the kids can re-use their papers for practice and they can't get enough of it! I feel bad telling them it's time to move on to something else when they want to continue learning, but sometimes I've had enough!! He loves playing the wii (when I let him, and I actually just started using wii fit again, so we have been enjoying that all together), playing with the ipad (Phil's work ipad), playing games on Phil's phone, and playing on the computer. Talk about technology (guess I shouldn't be surprised, look at his dad...)!! We recently finished reading Charlotte's Web together and are now reading Stuart Little.
Even though it is exhausting sometimes, I sure enjoy my three beautiful children. And just for fun- here is a photo I took of them today!
