In the recent weeks I have been noticing many differences between the boys and Kaelynn. When the boys draw a picture it is usually a dinosaur or marine animal of some kind. When Kaelynn draws a picture it is always a house. When Kaelynn plays with her dolls she loves them and wraps them up in blankets and takes them for walks and feeds them. When Connor and Carson play with dolls, they are the catch of the day. They have either hunted them or caught them on some amazing fishing lure. They hold them up by one foot and proudly proclaim how big they are for me to ooh and aah over. I love that even with two older brothers who are all boy, Kaelynn is still my girly girl. I hope that continues!!!
We went to conferences for Connor and Carson today and received glowing reports on both of them. They are both very cooperative with their teachers and with their classmates and have progressed quite a bit since the beginning of the year. Carson especially has mellowed out and is doing very well. We are so proud of them!
Connor has found a new love of collages. He spent over an hour yesterday cutting out fishing and hunting pictures from old magazines of Andy's. He then pastes them onto construction paper and bounds the papers into a book. Here he is with some of his recent pages:
We moved Kaelynn to her big girl bed!! I did it on Monday and was under the impression that she couldn't open doors yet (I'd never seen her do it). I put her in there for nap time on Monday and went down to walk on the treadmill. Ten minutes later she was standing next to me asking "What are you doing mommy?" Surprise, Surprise!! She now has a plastic knob on the inside of her door :)
