Well Little Man turned 5 on the 10th of September, 5, he turned 5 where the heck did time go? He's saying and doing things that just blow my mind every day! He's such a wonderful little boy (of course I'm a bit prejudice) and a great big brother, oh don't get me wrong he has his moments but he's such a wonderful little guy. We are conducting an experiment in our house right now, it's all about water. Last night at dinner he started talking about the ice in his glass of water and how it gets smaller etc. So Daddy and I started having a conversation with him about all the cool things water can do and how ice is water frozen with air in-between etc. He was fascinated by this conversation it was great. We told him in fact if he put the whole cup in the freezer it would turn into one big ice cube before bed so of course we had to try it. :) Sure enough just before bed he asked if we had an ice cube yet and I took it out to prove it to him, he was so amazed. So then I told him if we left it on the counter it would turn back to water overnight so we did that. Then this morning I told him if he left his cup on the counter for days that the water would disappear like Daddy and I were telling him about last night so that's the next leg of the experiment. I forget sometimes what it was like to be a kid and learn these little science lessons first hand. He's in preK4 this year and loving school, he's getting good at writing his name and actually including all the letters too (of course they have his name on the table in front of him to help him out). He comes home talking about how to write letters like capital I which "you do a line and then give it a hat and then feet and that's a capital I". Ah to be young again sometimes, I'm so happy to be blessed to live it again through both of my kiddos.
Now there's Sweet Pea and she's cute as a button just out and out ornery, I have no other word to describe it! She's 19 months now and we had to set up her toddler bed because she was trying to climb out of her crib, the stinker. She is so smart and imitates Little Man so much, I can see that she's learning things so much earlier than him because of him. Of course he's all too happy to show her how to do things which is adorable...unless it's something like jumping on the couch! You can see in his eyes how much he loves her and you can see how much she looks up to him as well, I couldn't be happier to be blessed with such loving children. Sweet Pea is learning to talk a lot these days and I have a feeling that between Sweet Pea and Little Man we won't get a word in come the very near future. :) The other night we had pizza for dinner, it's a family favorite for sure. Of course we went and picked it up and when we got in the car for the ride home she was hollering in the back "Pizza, Pizza, Piece!" and I had to kindly explain to her that we can't eat pizza in the car and she'll have to wait until we get home, she wasn't so happy with that idea. All the way in the house she kept saying Pizza, Piece, Pizza, Piece! And her current obsession is Mickey Mouse, not sure where that started but she loves the mouse! We went to Disney for Labor Day and took the kids to the meet Mickey and Minnie spot and Sweet Pea almost climbed over the crowd in line, she just kept yelling "Mitey, Mitey" (like oven mit), it's cute how she says it. When we went to pick out bedding for her toddler bed she found this Mickey pillow that had a Mickey sleeping bag with it and she HAD to have it so that's what's on her bed, it's not very girly but she loves it so it works. :)
Well the natives are getting restless so I'm going to end this novel now with a promise to return much sooner next time. ;)
