Ben is waving!!!!

Carla woke up around 6am 3 days in a row! She also loves her pooooow-ups!

Ever since his baby signing class on Monday, Ben has been waving constantly!!! So cute! He is also SO close to picking up and crawling away!

Anna's new tooth is growing in nicely. She feels bad when she does something wrong. She says "I don't know how" or "I forgot" or "Benny likes it" afterward, just trying to figure it all out.

Carla to Anna - where is the Easter bunny?
Anna to Carla - up in the sky, like Jesus.

Carla to Mike - is there just one Easter Bunny? So he goes around the whole world???

Anna - maybe the Easter Bunny will come early! At Christmas, Santa came to Grandma M's house every day!

Ben has been doing lots of pottying in his potty! Carla has been hardly having accidents and today she woke in the night, went pee, and then curled right up back to sleep :)

Easter is 2 days away. Anna has been getting up earlier than usual all week, running downstairs, and searching for Easter eggs /basket that might have come early.

Good night.

Time Flies!

Anna calls Carla's Pull-Ups "pull-downs", "wide-asleep" (tired), you didn't try for your kindergarten shots! (wouldn't be surprising, except you've been a bit anxious about them since Dr Cochran said you'd have to get an extra at 5y b/c you chose none at 4y. You got Carla to go potty "without crying about going potty" by asking her to sit in the "parlor seat". You're thrilled to be 5!

Ben likes to stick out his tongue, giggles lots, 19 lb 11 oz at 9 months old, 27 in (though you're actually taller), today it sounded like you were saying anna, dada, ma, eye :), you love necklaces and eyes, you're beginning to wave and do "so big"

Carla said Ben had on a running shirt because it had a "snook" on it -- a snook is a sad, poor face (a Nike symbol!), you have 'poor', tears, and Jesus/God all intermingled into some confused idea. you say "pony, pony, pony!", you said to Dad last night "who is Pooh's friend?, the one who will always be with you?", you slept through night 3 of 5 last nights. You know your birth date AND Anna's!
