We Do Have Other Kids

Micah is growing and maturing physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. He is really into pretend play. Most of the play and scenarios he comes up with are from things he has observed or been involved with, especially if it involves his dad or anything guy related. So there is lots of cars, trucks, hunting, chopping, building, and repairing happening with him. He will also do some cooking with pom poms and fort building with Jane. They are starting to play more and more together which is fun to see their relationship grow and for them to enjoy each other. Their relationship is something I pray for that it will continue to strengthen and remain through their lives. Micah is also so in love with Ethan. He will stop in the middle of whatever he is doing to say hi to him. Micah is very eager to help in anyway with Ethan. Micah will also hold his hand anytime they are near. Whether we are sitting together reading a book or they are in their carseats Micah is almost always holding his hand. Micah really enjoys reading, he will also stop in the middle of whatever he is doing if you offer to read to him and he will sit there as long as you are willing to read. As Micah is getting older he is getting to be more responsible and helpful. He is still a little boy and I love my snuggles with him.

Jane is at the age where what she says and they way she speaks are just the cutest things. Like the way she will often tilt her head and almost squint her eyes when she speaks. Or her pronunciation of words like, Efin (Ethan), Mitah (Micah), tib (crib), puzz (fuzz) and many more. Or that she calls cold cereal breakfast and if we have something else for breakfast she doesn't think she has eaten breakfast. Or how they both call a meat and cheese sandwich a "pickle samich". She will also continue to repeat what she has said until you acknowledge her. Ever time I tuck her in for nap she will tell my "my tummy hurts and my eye", to which I say "Okay, go to sleep and you will feel better." and that's it, she then goes to sleep. You will never find Jane far from her blanket (she calls it her poka ought diedent) and her baby doll Mindy. Jane is eager to help me in the kitchen and with the laundry, that will be great when she actually is helpful. She too is in love with Ethan and wants to help with  him. Jane will usually try help him feel better when he is crying. Jane is a sweet girl and we often say she can't get any cuter.
