A few things to remember

There are a couple of things that I didn't want to forget about the kids. 

Ainsley has been calling Will, Willy.  Very few nicknames bother Marcus but this one really does.  It bothers me too but I can't bear to say anything to her.  She says it with such love it just makes me smile. 

Ainsley has also been participating more in our daily scripture study.  We will read and she will repeat.  The thing that just has me rolling on the floor is that she will just throw in her own words or phrases randomly.  It takes everything in me not to react.  For example she will randomly throw in, "And it came to pass" or "And God said....".  She does it on purpose and watches us to see what we will do.  She is all about the cause and effect.  So far we have not reacted and she is still going strong with her add-ons. 

Will is really talking.  He is putting words together for sentences now.  He is huge and adorable.  Marcus tries to get him to say, "Daddy's boy" but he will respond, "Mommy's boy".  How can you not love that?  He also has learned to say Happy Birthday really clearly and walks around saying, "Happy Birthday Mommy". 

Reagan is still my intuitive observer.  She notices everything.  She is reading, really reading, and I can't communicate secretively anymore.  Marcus says I need to learn Spanish.  I think she would probably pick up on that as well. 

Love these kids and wish the time would slow down.  I can't believe how quickly they are growing up.
