Sweetest Little Boy

Anyone who has spent time with Logan knows that he is a sweet little boy. 

Well this sweet little boy made my day today.  I don't even know where he got this from, but I have to write it so I don't forget. 

This sweet little 3 yr old at the end of church ran to the the truck and opened my door while I was helping Alyssa into the truck and putting my bags in the passenger seat.  When I got to the driverside I opened his door to help him in and he said:  Mommy I opened your door for you (and as I was about to tell him the usual...jump in and buckle up) he continued with:  I am going to close it for you when you are in.  And he did just that and then got in his seat and buclked up.

What a gentleman.  He opened and closed my door for me...and melted my heart.

I hope my little boy stays this sweet forever.

Imagination Play

Alyssa is always facinating me while I overhear her conversations while she is playing. 

Today while I was working on my GD lesson and Alyssa was playing with her little people I heard one of them tell the other: Your I-pad is not working anymore.

ABC Class

We started our alphabet class today.  I am mainly doing it for Alyssa. Logan can identlfy the alphabet already, but Alyssa does not seem to have the time/desire to sit down and work on them...so I thought maybe having a class would help her. 

We have a powerpoint presentation thay shows the letter of the day and different words that start with the letter...we sing the alphabet song and point at the letters as we sing them.  Then we end the class with an activity and a snack that we can tie to each letter.  Today we started with A.  We ate apples and did some archery.  Used our Merida suction cup arrows and shot them at the back door.

Hopefully the classes continue to go well.

Why?

So the kids have started asking WHY?  a lot more often now.  Unfortunately they seem to be asking the hard whys like..What happened to Nemo's Mommy?  and What happened to Elena's Mommy (on Zoro)?

I guess they are paying attention to what they are watching more and more.

I Love You too

The kids can sign I Love You.  and I love it.  We often reply with I love you too...and Logan decided to sign I Love You and then sign the #2 after :)

Strong kids

As we were driving home from the Dr office for the 3 yr check up the kids were in the backseat...they are on opposite sides of the car and each of them had one end of the big golf umbrella and they said look Mommy we are strong like daddy...immitating him lifting his weights.  too cute.

Another Logan one liner

So for their b-day Aunt Cyndi got Alyssa some more dishes for her kitchen...a princess tea set.

We try not to call it a "tea" set or have "tea" parties because we do not drink tea.

From Mormon.org

Our body is a precious gift from God. To help keep our bodies and our minds healthy and strong, God gave a law of health to Joseph Smith in 1833. This law is known as the Word of Wisdom (see Doctrine and Covenants 89:1-21).
In addition to emphasizing the benefits of proper eating and physical and spiritual health, God has spoken against the use of:

• Tobacco.
• Alcohol.
• Coffee and tea.
• Illegal drugs.

God promises great physical and spiritual blessings to those who follow the Word of Wisdom. Today, the scientific community promotes some of the same principles that a loving God gave to Joseph Smith nearly two centuries ago.

So to get to the one liner...the kids are playing with the new dishes and I hear Logan say to Alyssa as she is pouring a drink into Logans cup:  Jesus said we don't drink tea.

So our set is an apple juice set, or a milk set, or even a water set.
