- Paisley passed her 60 kindergarten sight words and landed on the rainbow within the first 14 days of school. She had to recognize them quickly, without hesitation and say them aloud to her teacher correctly in random sequence in order to pass. And she did it!!! There are several kids in the class who are just rocking through these words - keep in mind they have the entire school year to accomplish this and they have already passed. Now we are on to writing them in sentences. Way to go, Paisley Rae!
- Colby went to a BMX park with his daddy the other day and road the entire course (some of the hills were 12 feet tall) on his little bike. The video Curtis has is so funny to watch. He is not fast but he can do it. Go little man, go!!
- Whitley recently started putting her arms up over her head when I say "How big is Whitley?". She also went and got a diaper for me, and brought it to me, when I asked her to the other day. 10 months old and they understand so much more than we realize! She is saying "dada" now which is great since Mama was her first word and her only word until now - makes Curtis feel loved. And she is learning to clap and blow kisses. She is crawling and cruisin' the furniture like crazy and is really interested in the stairs if the gate is not closed. Yikes. She's a great eater and a really happy, laid-back baby. I can't believe it's time to start planning her 1 year birthday party soon.
- Both kids have upgraded to bigger bikes. Paisley now has a bike with more than one speed on it, hand brakes and a kick stand. Colby inherited her old orange bike (thank goodness!) so he has more leg room when riding.
- Yesterday at Lacrosse, Colby scored two goals and Paisley scored one. Curtis asked if anyone wanted to say a prayer afterward and Paisley volunteered. He said it brought tears to his eyes because she was so thoughtful and sincere with what she prayed for concerning the team.
Life is really good!
