A Child's Perspective

I heard a funny story about Will from a friend of mine yesterday and I thought I'd share, because it's a little glimpse of how his mind works. The other day at preschool Will and a couple of his friends were climbing on something they shouldn't have. Their teacher came over and said "Watch out boys or you might climb so high that you'll be as tall as your moms!" Will looked at her and said "I'm already as tall as my mom." To which his teacher replied "Well I'm sure that if your mom stood up she'd be much taller." At this point my friend said that Will just gave his teacher a blank stare. Apparently it didn't occur to him that Mommy could stand up, because he's never seen me do so. Another recent thought from Will that pops up every once in a while: "When Jesus comes you'll be out of your wheelchair." Love this boy!

We Love You Kayla!

Today is Kayla's 2nd birthday. She's grown into such a sweet little girl with a spunky personality. To celebrate her day (and because I feel like bragging about her), here are a few things that make her so wonderful.

-She cheerfully greets us when we go to get her in the morning with a big smile
-She treats her two dolls like real babies. She loves to take them for walks in her stroller, give them hugs, and talk to them
-She's a true girl. She loves to choose out her clothes, comb her hair, and look at herself in the mirror
-She loves to talk to Daddy on the phone when he's at work
-She waves and says hi and bye to everyone she meets
-She has a large vocabulary and is constantly talking
-She's developed a very stubborn streak and wants to do everything herself. Her favorite phrase is "Me too!" which she says very emphatically when she wants to do something
-She loves playing with Will, and defends herself very well when he does something she doesn't like

There are obviously many other things we love about her. We couldn't imagine our home or family without her and are so grateful that she belongs to us. Happy birthday babe!
