Conner walking

Conner has been walking for awhile now, but I haven't been able to get him on camera. At the end you'll here me asking him to sign, he decided not to, as you can see. He is saying light off while he walks b/c the light in the front room is off.

Conner's new Love

While I know they aren't the best things to feed my kids, they love them and they are quick and easy for those days when I don't feel like cooking. They are corn dogs. Kaily has always loved them, but Conner was more a fan of the outer part than the hot dog inside...That was until a week ago when he realized that he can hold it by himself and be a big boy. Right now he wants to be with every one else at the table, or in his case standing on a chair or sitting on the table. While I don't typically like him to sit ON the table it does keep the mess to a minimum on the floor. I just have to clean and scrub the table every night instead.

The other thing he LOVES right now is to climb. His favorite thing to climb is the computer chair. Once he's up there he wants some one to push him so he spins around in circles.

Preschool Day camp

Kaily went to Day camp at her Preschool today. She had so much fun! They demonstrated different instruments and the sounds they make and then let the kids check them out and even play some. Kaily loved the Violin and the Guitars. Then they had the kids go to craft time where they had a review of different musical times such as "modern", "Baroque" etc. The teacher finished by talking about the ornate bead work of the Baroque period and had the kids then make their own beaded people. Kaily had lots of fun and is very proud of her "little man". From there they went to tumbling and played relay games, did a tumbling course and climbed the wall. She loves her school and I'm so glad! She has learned so much.

"When I was a teenager"

Kaily is fond of telling stories. Lately she has started her stories like this, "Mom remember when I was a teenager..." I always smile and ask her when she was a teenager. She tells me, "A long time ago, remember?" I tell her she hasn't been a teenager yet and she will always reply, "UGH! Mom, just let me tell my story...When I was a teenager..." The other day she switched it up and said, "Remember when I was a mom..." I've tried to tell her that she is still a little girl and she informs me that she is grown-up and she knows better. I'm so glad my 4 year old knows so much, I don't know what I would do if she didn't. (=
