Family update

I can't believe how three kids can consume every minute of every day. By the time I thought I got everything done ( cleaning, laundry, errands, cooking, etc.), one of them either made a mess or is into something not good, so I have to start all over again...sigh! Oh the joy...err... the challenges of motherhood! But in spite of all the whining, I am grateful for my children and the opportunity to raise them. It's a very humbling experience...



Well folks, here's what's new with our little bugs:

KAYLEE

• is having fun at her school and loves her new teacher, who gives her extra homework to improve her comprehension.


• She's now taking piano lessons twice a month and is surprisingly very attentive (per sister Harris , her teacher).


• She's doing a lot better with her chores ( doing them without being asked) because she now earns points for them so she can save up for any toy or anything she wants to have. Her chores: clean her room, make her bed, pick up toys, do the dishes, and set the table.


• She thinks that riding her bike without the training wheels is more fun so she does it more often now.


• She asked me the other day;" mom, when are you gonna die?" (ouch! are you kidding me?)..." because I'm going to be the mom when you die and i"m going to be daddy's wife" ( Yuck!) I told her she can only be and will always be daddy's daughter, but she will marry someone when she's 25 (hehehe) and will be a mom just like me. She said: "oh, OK:) I like that too".
• She told Josh tonight that he can't have Soda because he has kidney stones and If disobeys, he can't go to Hawaii with mommy:)

CALEB

• Is the most accident- prone-2-year-old I know. So clumsy. I can't even tell where he got some of his scrapes and bruises.
• Is addicted to signing time videos and high five CD.
• Is so cute when he prays. The only thing we can understand from his prayer is mommy, daddy and "Kuwai"( for Jesus Christ"). At least we know when to say amen:)
• He puts his shoes away neatly on the rack. I love it! Takes it from her mama.
• When it comes to potty training, he only listens to daddy so he has more success when he's with josh. He even goes to the bathroom by himself! So not fair!
• Has the funniest laugh. He like cackles.

ETHAN

• Favorite thing to do - dust the furniture , play with the dust pan, throwing stuff in the trash including toys and helping with the vacuum. It's so funny, today he sat on the floor and turned the vacuum on with his foot. Hahaha! Now, if only he learns not to make so much mess...
• He loves to spread out his arms and say "tada!"
• He loves to sing ABC and pretends like he's signing them:)
• He has so much fun playing "duck,duck,goose" and "ring around the Rosie" on family night.
• He's eating like a man but is not gaining any weight. His pediatrician ordered some more multivitamins. He doesn't like taking it.
• He's constantly in the cupboards and when I ask him what he wants he says,"cereal". Yap! that's his favorite.
