Marilyn said she watched Nelly try tickling Scottie’s back today and when she asked her what she was doing, Nelly crawled off laughing. I love that they have senses of humor! Both girls are really funny and silly and so cute and beautiful.

I love Teddy snuggling into read a book in my lap. He is really into “Troll Attack” a book featuring a battle between lego knights and trolls. He says he wand to “ride a horse. Be a knight”

This morning I played basketball with Charlie. He shot the ball into the basket I made out of my arms. It was really fun. He was learning that if he kept looking at where he was throwing the ball he had a better chance of making the basket. Then he’d be silly and close his eyes and try to make (almost successfully a few times). I love playing with him.

I took Teddy swimming yesterday. We play Ninjago in the water where He pretended to be a Lego ninja and I was an evil snake.

Scottie and Nell were really excited to be in the pool again. And to help garden.

Scottie continues to say “this, this?” All the time. She also laughs and laughs and books with picture of children in them.

Nell is walking and walking and walking.

I have found in potentially difficult or awkward discussion, bring up a sliver of the topic and let the children lead by asking whatever questions they want and giving then specific information in small amounts. Works like a charm.

Nelly walked from the kitchen to the dining room today!

I’m thinking of ways to make the children’s rooms and beds more comfortable for them…pillows, blankets, candy?
