It seems like our extra daylight is being used up our of doors. Both kiddos like playing/drawing with sidewalk chalk. They both even scrapped fingers and have boo boos from trying to use small pieces. A and I try to play hopscotch, but she is still working on the finer points of the game. G prefers sticks it seems. He will draw for a bit then wants to go get a stick to hit things with. Last week he took a vacuum extension and started seeing how high up in the house he could hit things. Luckily nothing broke.
G is also starting to be very insistent when he wants something. He will show you if you all him why he is being so persistent.
A is working hard to stop sucking her thumb. We've got quite the reward system going, and she is doing well realistically. Night time is the most difficult and we are using the "keep the princess" dry theory we used to potty train her. In the past two weeks she has only ended up with a wet bandaid 4 times. It is a start and she gets a sticker for that dry bandaid each morning. After collecting so many stickers in a row she gets something fun. For example after she got 3 stickers in a row she got to pick the ice cream flavour we made that night. She is looking forward to 12 stickers because that is when she gets to make cupcakes. A also volunteered to pray last night for dinner at church. She did well and it was a sweet 3 year old prayer ending with, "we like you very very much Jesus today. Amen". Everyone wished they had a recording of it. I do have a recording if her singing in the church talent show last Sunday and if you haven't gotten an email link and want to see it, let me know.
Work is work for both Chris and me. We are unsure of what we are supposed to be learning while we are here. We are unsure of the lessons behind what is happening to. We are sure that we are to be here for now though so I guess we just keep going.
