Special Little Gifts

Every now and then, Wesley likes to make his dad a card and wrap up one of his toys to give to him. I think it is so cute. I have been worried because he isn't writing his name correctly lately. But after listening to him today, I have concluded that he is doing it on purpose. Wesley's conversation to himself as he was writing his name went something like this:
"(laugh) This is a Chinese 'W'. Look mom, this is how Chinese looks. (then he shows me his 'w'.) Now I need 'E'. (another little giggle) Look mom! This 'S' is french. Now L. And E again. Look mom, this E is in french too. Hmmm... now where do I put the Y? I guess down here."
LOL
It was very cute. Later I was asking him about it and he was once again telling me what language all the letters were in. I asked what language his first E was and he replied, "Texas." He likes to use that imagination of his and we enjoy the entertainment it provides.

Aubrey has been doing excellent with the whole potty training thing. Number one and two! She is also becoming quite......a two year old, is a nice way to put it. Today her and Wesley have been in trouble several times for fighting. I sent her to her room a bit ago, and when she came out I told her she needed to apologize to Wesley and give him a hug. She had already started down the stairs, so instead of going back up to Wesley, she says to herself, "I sorry Wesley" and proceeds down the stairs. I told her to go up and give Wesley a hug, so she turned around and walked up two stairs, hugged the air, and started back down the stairs. I told her to go up and hug Wesley, not the air. She laughed and then it became a game to her. Each time she would walk up a few more stairs, hug the air, and start back down again. Finally she did go up and hug him and they both said sorry and went on their merry ways for about 5 more minutes and then had another run in......Ahhhhhhh!!! Aubrey is such a good helper though......I love having her around, even if she is a little pill sometimes. She just walked in with ice cream all over her face. I have been telling her all afternoon she couldn't have ice cream until tonight after dinner!!! Sneaky kid!

Cali. She is getting so big! She loves to watch the kids play and is starting to grab at everything. She is very intrigued by watching us eat. And likes to eat rice cereal and is trying out squash. She is starting to "ahh" and "ohh" more, but is still pretty quiet. She loves the kids to play with her. She laughs and we love that. One of the sweetest things in this world is when a baby learns to laugh and giggle. It is one of my favorite things.

I still have more pics to put up from our Utah trip and Grandads visit to fix our car. And my camera is lost again or I would have some adorable pics of Aubrey feeding Cali and Cali wearing Wesley's sun glasses and the kids just being cute kids. Hope I find my camera soon!!!
