Blake

1. I let him wash the dishes for the first time a few weeks ago. He made a wet mess, but had a smile on his face the whole time. I need to have him help me more often.
2. He’s been practicing writing his name almost every day the past few weeks and I’m amazed at his progress.
3. Turning 4 is best thing that has happened to him. He is SO fun! He loves learning and I love watching him discover and figure things out.

Evelyn

1. She does not freely give out kisses or kisses even when we ask for them. So lately we’ve had to use reverse psychology and say, “Don’t give me a kiss” to get one!
2. Her and I have been going to a fun free music class at the library the past few weeks. Now she wants me to sing the songs and rhymes every day. She loves “One misty, moisty morning…”
3. She loves helping me unload the dishwasher and sort the silverware. Also, I have a bad habit of leaving drawers and cupboards open, but Evelyn always closes them for me.

Oliver 

1. He loves playing in the bouncer. We’ve never had one before, but this hand-me-down has been a real life saver this time around. And those chunky legs. I love them.
2. Sleeping through the night. Can we say Hallelujah!!
3. He’s so so sweet and mellow. He’ll let others hold him at church or anywhere. He’s also scooting backwards.
