Well, soon after that explanation I saw Brynny's(the baby that isn't allowed)hand tearing the sign off the door.......
After the sign was down she headed back down to the basement to see what her siblings were up to. It a good thing she has an awesome brother and sister who time and time again help out by cleaning up after their little sis. It's amazing, they still love her to pieces!
Today we were excited to give Brynnley a test run at church today in the nursery. She is still a few weeks away, but the day is coming soon and she is not liking the quiet, stay still time in the adult classes. She had a blast! She is getting so big. Some of her new words are kitty cat, apple, Thomas, ta-da(when she finds something), who dat, there, and a few more I can't think of right now. I just need to document better for her. She understands so much now. She pretty much understands everything we tell her to do. Eric told her the other morning to shut the bathroom door and go and find Avery. Instead of going through the bathroom to find my makeup, she shut the doors and went and found Avery. We are still working on the NO thing. I know she understands, but she just sometimes wants to do it anyways. She's a lot of fun. Her hair is getting longer and she has the prettiest curls. I hope they stay. It's not your typical curl at the bottom when they are babies that you don't want to cut off because you know whats left is straight hair. I did that to Thomas and look back at his pictures when he was Brynnley's age and think to myself why I thought a mullet with a little curl at the end was cute. Avery and Thomas are growing up. Tonight at FHE they were both listening so intently. Thomas even asked me if we could talk about one more topic when we were done. I taught the lesson and chose to talk about being kind to others and stranger danger. Now that they are in school and out of my care more each family home evening we have a church topic and then talk about things at a level for their age that will help them in the world. strangers. The kids love it and I think(and hope) are soaking it in. I hear more and more stories about what small children can be exposed to so early on. I think educating them as early as possible and at their age level is so important. It makes me feel better but not fully confident about letting them leave the home. It was weird having Avery go to kindergarten just because I have only known them to be with me. Knowing where they are and what they are doing. I am excepting it more and know they are learning and growing and hopefully using those tools they learn at home. They are happy. They love school and making new friends and I wouldn't have it any other way. I did run into a lady who home schools her 8 children. Yes, she lives to tell me about it and has a smile on her face. I must say it sounds appealing in a way but then reality hits and I know that it would be hard. I really do think the social aspect and structure of school is important. she has given me some ideas of educational day trips to take the kids to. I think it is amazing for some mom to be able to do that and commend them for their patience in doing so. I was amazed though when she told me Kindergarten takes 30 min. out of her day. Wow! I do think all day every day is a lot for these little ones but some thrive on it. Anyways.......I am going to relax with my hubby and listen to the rain hit the windows. I love nights like this. I could have them often. Did I mention I am excited for fall! I have a date set up already to hit the pumpkin patch. I love everything about fall. I love the weather, traditions, crisp nights, hot chocolate, soups, homemade bread, pumpkin farms, apple picking, drives to see the changing leaves(going to be beautiful here with all the trees), and the list goes on!
We are looking forward to a laborless fun day tomorrow as a fam.
Choa!
