On Sunday Ammon was totally crazy in sacrament meeting. When Abe finally had enough, he gave Ammon a hard stare. Ammon gazed back into Abe’s stern eyes…and then he fell promptly asleep. He stayed asleep through nursery.
Abe and I helped sub in the nursery. Afterward Abe announced he didn’t need to mourn the growth of our kids so much because all of the kids were so cute. If we ever need our toddler fix, we can just sub in nursery.
After church Mary wanted to eat an apple. I told her she could, and I wish I captured what followed next on camera. She took the apple to the backyard and twirled and danced by herself for twenty minutes while eating her apple. It was so cute.
Then she and Lydia tried to rake some leaves into a pile.
In the meantime, Clarissa wandered around the house making mischief.
Then we did a FHE my mom prepared about Abe. She made a matching game and a quiz all about Abe’s life history and favorite things. Then the kids had to match the cards and guess the answers. Lydia knew all of the answers, and Ammon and Mary know basically nothing. Sometimes I think their comprehension level is actually pretty similar. That might explain why Mary is STILL not totally potty trained.
After we put the kids to bed, Ammon played quietly in his room for a couple hours. Abe checked on him and found that Ammon had taken out a bunch of his books and created a play land for some of his other toys. He was “reading” quietly to himself next to his creation.
He is the sweetest, cutest little boy and we can’t wait to celebrate his birthday!!
