Birthday and more

Saturday, we had a small birthday party for Kieran w/ my brother-in-law Shane and his family who were in town from Oregon. Debbie was very sweet and made the cakes for me since I still do not have an oven. They were very cute. Thanks Debbie! Kieran had fun destroying the cake and opening presents etc. He is my 1st one to actually get really messy w/ his cake. The other 2 kind of picked at the cakes, or just ate the frosting off the top (Markay still will only eat the frosting about 70% of the time).
Big brother Dannik
It's amazing how natural the children take on their own roles in the family. I was listening to the children play the other morning and I love how Dannik, as the oldest, tries to teach the younger children. Markay knows most of her letters, but still has not grasped how each of them have their own sounds etc. She knows Markay and Mommy start w/ M and Dannik and Daddy start w/ D, so naturally, all girls start with an M and all boys start with a D. She had a little toy and said, "Boots. Boots starts with a D". Dannik says, "No Markay. Boots, b..b..b (making the B sound). Boots starts with a B".

He's such a good big brother. He loves to teach and help (and tease) his younger sister and brother!



mommy moments:

Dannik came out of his room at bed time and said, "Mommy, I can't get to sleep because the crickets are chirp-chirping".

Me: "Just close your eyes, think good thoughts and try and relax".


Dannik: "Okay, think of chocolates and love?"

Me: "Yes, chocolates and love are very good thoughts!"
