Kaleb and Sophie

No explanation necessary. Kaleb continues to talk incessantly and is beginning to train sophie. I overhead him the other day telling Sophie.." Be careful with this train, God has given it to me to take care of.." He is eating us out of house and home and likes to dress up like a cowboy. When in the car he says.." who is that...what are they doing.. where are they going..why did they do that.." He is getting into remote control cars and likes to ride his tricycle ( finally pedals) He still talks about our dog Lamar ( that he never played with and has been gone for a year) sometimes this is accompanied with tears :( Favorite toys: Lego mac toys, lincoln logs, farm animals. and the most favorite---- Stuffed animals... Thunkin is still around but gets less play time. He has a little bed and blanket, but these days it is baby pony, and salad ( a tiny dog)... Oh and teddy bear, little teddy bear....

Kaleb did an experiment at breakfast the other morning.... He was having a 'spot' of hot cocoa with marshmallows and noticed they were floating. He began to try different things to get them to sink... He would say..." what happen I... stir it poke it,etc " We are pleased he appears to have a scientific mind.

Sophie loves the bathtub, check out the hair. She is going to be a handful, very willful but she is just so cute :) Her hair is everywhere and only a pony tail on top keeps it at bay. Potty training is still going, but it really depends on how she feels how well she does. We are working with her on obeying and going when we tell her to. She says..i am going to do this OKAY...or i like this OKAY... she says ok louder and it is funny. When we hold hands to pray she grins really big. She sneaks out of her bed and loves to wear bows these days. Her favorite outfit is her play dress ( white with flowers) or her purple play dress ( which is actually pink). She likes purses, dolls, and her little beanie baby animals. Tongue out is a usual posture and she has a name for all her blankets: blankie, ha ha , princess blanket, pretty blanket, and blue blanket. She does everything Kaleb does and is still tough as nails! She also likes all things JUMPING and will frequently just begin hopping about for no real reason, just because. She loves apple jacks which are actually generic fruit loops, i messed up and there is no going back now :) I recently took her out just the two of us and she said she wanted to go swimming. We sat on lounge chairs and we girltalked. When i asked her what she wanted for lunch she said...hot dog..

They are at a fun age and are beginning to play games... Hide and seek which looks like----"sophie i am going to hide in my bed, you come find me... " They also play tag, which consists of the two of them chasing each other saying "tag it tag it tag it.".. after a while kaleb says, sophie you are chasing me...
