“You just taaaaaaaaaalk…

May 22nd, 2009

“…talk toooo much.”  Or that’s what the song says….

Colby has been asking more questions (in a good way, so far) and figuring things out (also in a good way, so far).  It seems like the day he turned 4, he learned how to speak correctly.  All those “baby sayings” have gone out the window, which is a little sad, but he’s definitely growing up.  He also sings his heart out, which I LOVE to hear.  And he’s great at singing songs to his sisters and reading them books, to comfort them.  I also love to hear him pray – he recalls his day and thanks God for being able to do whatever it was we did – go to the park, go outside and blow bubbles, etc. etc. etc.

Speaking of bubbles, this would be Kennedy’s favorite thing to do.  She asks every day when she wakes up, “Go hot-side (outside) and boh bubbles?”  She is also a non-stop talker and speaks in paragraphs.  It is neat to hear her say a lot of the same things Colby says.  She loves her big brother and wants to do absolutely everything he does.  She’s also having big success in the potty department, although she wants to keep herself naked so she can run to the potty at a moment’s notice.  This is fine with me, until someone drops in unannounced.  (So do me a favor and call me first if you want to come over.)

Carlee is figuring out that she has a voice too.  She’s very happy all the time, but if there’s ever something wrong (diaper issue or sleepy, usually), she let’s me know about it and screams at the top of her lungs.  She’s not unhappy when she screams, she’s just talking at a very loud decibel level.  It’s very cute and very ear-piercing at the same time.  And when she’s falling asleep, she’ll groan loudly because she’s trying to keep herself awake but she knows she’s about to succumb to the sandman….  I can’t believe wonderfully sweet she is.

I am a big fan of my kids, in case you couldn’t tell.  Even though I talk a lot about them.
