Our sweet children

Quick tidbits on this silly girl
And this handsome fella

Raegan:

- she has the most amazing memory! The other day (I can't even remember what day it was) she was telling someone about how she got a toy from our Christmas white elephant gift exchange because they said it was number 7's turn and she had number 7 (that was at least 8 months ago).  Also at school they use an app called 'near pod' and the teacher had told them what 5 digit pin to type in their iPad to participate in a session.  Raegan got Philips phone at home that afternoon got on his nearpod app and typed in the pin from class that she just remembered.  It was something like JFK53. 

- she's a wonderful swimmer, underwater diver, and cannon ball maker!

- she's super proud of her new earrings and the widely known fact that she didn't even cry.

- she loves retelling Bible stories from school and is serious about following the three points of the school's honor theme (treat others as special, do more than what's expected, have a good attitude). Which is awesome to see play out in her actions, such as cleaning up a mess she didn't make without having to be told, or sharing with her brother, and seeing what I need help with without me having to even ask her.  So glad we have invested in private school as I can see it shaping her character already.

- she loves the new rainbow loom bracelet making kit Grammee and Papa brought her last week. 

Mr. C

- he's a climber! He can go up and down our stairs without anyone's help.  One morning around 3am Raegan was calling out for me so I went upstairs and found Cameron hiding under a pillow next to Raegan on her bed; when I lifted up the pillow he started giggling! She said, "he's just getting too big, he just crawled up here and pushed me over!" So now we are letting him sleep on her trundle bed in her room and so far it's working out pretty well.  Guess it's time to find a fun Pinterest project for our crib, since we won't be needing it anymore!

- he likes to sing and dance but hates when we sing the abc's to him, he will scream/holler till we stop! 

- he says words when he wants to, not when anyone tries to make him say them.  His favorites are probably mom, bug, yuck, more and boat. 

- if you give him a cup of milk he will go to the refrigerator and ask you for chocolate syrup, because we've spoiled him on chocolate milk!

- he's getting so tall, he's up to Raegan's neck maybe chin and his feet seem to grow overnight! I have such a hard time figuring out what size shoes he will need for winter.

- his favorite show is Mickey Mouse clubhouse and he sometimes gets very upset if another cartoon is on besides Mickey Mouse. 

- and he LOVES babies (and pretty much thinks that anyone under 3 is a baby). He loves to tickle their toes.  Always always holds out his arms to hold them and we often have to unpry his arms to take a baby out of his lap.  He also likes rocking baby dolls, patting their backs, and giving them bottles.  It's pretty sweet.
