Indpendent Babies

Today I deciced to watch the circus. I am not talking about supervising, I mean to observe and record in my mind and heart. Not everthing needs to be captured on the camcorder/camera. Some moments are so precious, recording and pictures would not do them justice anyway.

Caroline-How precious it is to watch this little bebop! She just really cracks me up. I can not believe how brave she is. Today she was going up the ladder and down the slide all by herself. She even went down on her tummy headfirst! It is adorable watching her walk all over the playground trying so hard to keep up with the twins. She really loves them, but she also has fun just being all by herself. She spent a few minutes just hanging out at the bottom of the big slide. Caroline is "sooooo big!"

Lance- My little man shared his toys on the playground today. This has been really hard for him lately. I was so proud that he did this on his own. It was tough, but I decided to just watch to see how things played out in the sandbox ( My first instinct was to go over and remind him that he needed to share). I am sure there will be other moments when he doesn't feel like being so friendly, but today was a step in the right direction! Good job Lance! When it was time to go he even loaded all of his toys into the car ( sandbuckets, dumptruck, Diego). I helped him get into his carseat and gave him a smooch. Of course, he wiped it off. Growing up way to fast.

Lilly Grace- LG= the work of three kids! I love my little busy body!!!! She is so curious about everything. Mama ( a switch from mommy-copying Caroline) where are we going, what is that, what do you have in your mouth (hee-hee a cookie no doubt)???? She watches everything and doesn't forget a thing ( sounds a bit like her Mama)! I got the biggest kick out of listening to her today. She was telling her daddy all about the books that we got at the library. LG makes sure to get everyone a book that they will like. " I got this one for my daddy." Lil is also really good at exercising. I caught her doing crunches on her kickball yesterday! She could teach Stroller Fit!

They are all napping right now and the house is quiet. I enjoy this rare, peaceful, downtime. As nice as it is, I am looking forward to seeing their precious faces as they wake up. Gotta love those nap hugs!
