Sunday Snippets

:: Marcus ::

1. Marcus is growing up right before our eyes. When we went to the

part with cousin Jack and Brooklyn instead of wanting to ride in the swings he wanted

to push Lucy and Jack, he was so sweet.

2. I asked him what he learned in primary today and he said "we learned about

the spirit, the spirit makes you strong". Not sure what that means but he was cute when he said it.

3. We are working on him saying his "s's". It doesn't come easy for him

and he has to think about before he says it. I'm constantly reminding him to say the "s" at the

end of the word "this". He is working so hard on talking.

4. We moved his room around this week so we could make a reading

corner for him, like Lucy's room. He loves it and reads in there every day by himself.

5. He is really onry when he wakes up from his naps. He still naps from

2-3ish on the couch watching his "preschool prep" DVD's.

:: Lucy ::

1. Lucy is a giggler. She will giggle and get excited about

the littlest things. She will giggle when I hold up her blankie to her, when

I give her some juice, when she sees her dolly, etc. She will giggle and it brings a smile to my face.

2. She got her first professional hair cut this last week. (my mom has trimmed it a few times) She

held so still and was even better when she had it braided. She looked so darling

and so grown up with it braided (now if only I could do it braided).

3. While Marcus was away at Father's and Sons she had the best

time playing with her toys and running around the house without Marcus chasing and

taking her things away. She didn't cry once.

4. She loves to play dress-up and put on my cleaning gloves and hats

and go around the house cleaning and pushing her dolls.

5. She loves her reading corner and will put all of her blankets and

stuffed animals in the corner while she reads.
