Time Flies..

I am finding it more and more difficult to keep up with this, but have no fear... I will continue!  Time seems to be in fast motion lately.

How about I update on some little things that are going on with our family?  (Which we all know usually means the kids, right?!)

Alex just figured out how to whistle!  He has been trying and trying... and finally he got it.  This is what he told me Wednesday after school.  "I practiced at school, but my teacher kept catching me."  Gotta love him!  I told him that he was probably being a bit disruptive and it might be a good idea to save whistle practicing for recess time.

Rhoslyn is moving up to the preschool room at daycare.  Her current teacher is sad to see her move up, but all of the kids spend time together in the morning and afternoon.  I am excited for her, yet sad at the same time.  Getting this information made me realize just how fast she is growing.  To top it off, we will have to school aged children this fall.  I am finding it even harder this time around.

Our children amaze me everyday.  Although it's hard to watch them grow up before our eyes, I love seeing them grow.  Daddy was gone all week for work, so I declared last night as movie night.  Mom needed a night to sit back and veg out.  The kids were showered after school.  I put chicken nuggets in the oven and even hopped in the shower myself.  I asked Alex to get the ketchup and ranch out of the fridge.  Not only did he do that, but he put it on our plates, filled two cups with water and one with milk and Rhoslyn set napkins out on the table.  I got dressed and was so pleased to see how much they helped with getting dinner together.  Also, Alex is making his own toast now!  He puts it in the toaster, gets it out by himself, butters it, and even puts cinnamon and sugar on it.  He is becoming a little man.

Alex can also read a little.  We have some early reader books and he has read two of them all on his own.  We are also enjoying the Magic Tree House books.  It's crazy to me that he is requesting for me to read chapter books more so than picture books. I am enjoying it though.  

Rhoslyn is our little social butterfly.  As soon as we walk in at daycare she has at least one or two friends just standing there, waiting for her to play.  The other day at daycare she was the prayer person (one of her jobs) and she thanked God for one of the kids at daycare.  It pretty much melted my heart... and her teachers too!  She writes her name so well now.  She can also right Nan (her teachers name), Kerri, Dad, Mom, and Alex.  Her favorite books right now are the David books.  She looks through them and has most of the pages memorized.  She has mastered zipping her jacket.. which is awesome!  She loves doing puzzles and playing the matching games.  Her favorite toy right now would probably have to be her ponies and pony dolls.  She loves playing with Alex's toys and watching him play Skylanders.  I'm sure it won't be long before she is asking to play.
