Lincoln learned that the Library doesn't only have Strawberry Shortcake movies, but TRUCK movies too!!
We learned we aren't the only turkeys living on our property. We've discovered this flock of wild turkeys milling about and so far they have no plans on leaving!!
I learned that when hosting a baby shower, Keziah likes to be included. I set up the chairs, left the room to get the coffee going, came back, and noticed an extra chair was added :o)
Lincoln learned how to take his sleep sack off while he should be sleeping. Thankfully he hasn't discovered how to take his diaper off. Yet.
I learned that the number of my children grows from 2 to 3 when the Lego comes out:
Lincoln learned what an ipad is all about. He watched it once and now every time daddy enters the room, Lincoln runs looking for the ipad while yelling "ipad! ipad!"
Keziah learned that her great uncle John is a fantastic story teller
I learned it is never too late to give a birthday card. Especially when it contains money!! (I was 2 and 3 months late for their birthday. Or 8 and 9 months early....:o)
Speaking of birthdays, I learned that I will probably never get hired to wrap presents:
Keziah learned how stale the candies are from the candy canisters at the store:
Lincoln learned to hide quickly when he hears me say "Time to get pajamas on!"
I learned you can never be too safe riding a bike, baby and all!
Lincoln and Keziah learned it is hard to choose a flavour of ice cream:
Keziah is learning to "read" books to her brother. Lincoln is learning to sit through a whole book. I am learning to sneak a picture (still haven't learned how to prevent my heart from turning into a puddle....):
Lincoln finally learned how to climb down the playground steps!!
Keziah learned that having a butterfly coloured on her face isn't so bad after all. I learned that the reason why she finally wanted this done is because I didn't use the words "face painting" but "face colouring".
We learned you can make a lot of things out of sand other than castles:
I learned that the next time we take the kids for a walk by the lake, I should have extra clothes for Lincoln. Walking by the lake quickly turned into walking in the lake:
Lincoln learned that daddy is harder to pull down into the water than he thought:
I learned a very sane lesson, and that is, when it is time to help Lincoln with feeding himself, use another spoon. I've always taken his spoon away from him to use which results in a very upset boy. Now, I let him hold his own spoon while I finish up his food with him using a different spoon.
Keziah is learning to listen for particular words during Bible reading. When she hears the word, she puts up her hand:
Lincoln of course is learning right along with her (not having a clue why he's putting up his hand, but he figures his sister is, so why can't he?!)
Keziah and Lincoln learned how tasty brown sugar and tomatoes are. Me? Not. What a waste of brown sugar.
I learned you don't need to play a whole lot of soccer to earn a medal and certificate!
Lincoln learned to say "No!!!", finger and all!
And Keziah learned that duct tape CAN be fashionable!! I learned that if the poor girl needs to wear it all the time for her warts, spending the extra money on her two favourite things (pink and zebra) is so worth it!
And on to September we march. Cooler weather is in the air! Time for soups, sweaters and stampot!!
And I've now learned that your play set is not at all where I imagined it.
