"Home and Bye," Turning Eleven and Using Her Imagination
Well, things haven't changed all too much and that would be the reason for my lack of blogging and for that, I apologize...This is what is new.
Sadie still isn't saying much but everyone once in while she pops off with a word here and there. For instance the other day my dad was leaving and she said "bye," clear as day...my dad and i even looked at each other in disbelief. Today she said, "home." We were just pulling into the garage after our bi-weekly grocery shopping trip...and there she says, "Home." Again, clear as day. So, we are hoping she will start saying more and more words and thus start talking our heads off soon. Which will be nice change.
Kieran just had his turning point in life. He's officially a tween. He's not quite a teen and not a kid anymore. And, it shows. He's been into what he's wearing lately and super into friends and thinking he's old enough to go places without an adult. This bothers us but we've also given him a small amount of independence. In other words, he's been to the mall 2 times without having adult supervision. He also has a cell phone. We decided that it's important for us to be able to contact him and for him to learn about technology. We've come to an agreement that we want our children to be technologically capable. Thus, our 11 year old has a cell phone...not to mention it makes it nice to call him and ask him where he is at when he's out playing with friends.
Steffanie's new trick is playing with her toys and using her imagination. This is such a great and blessed change. She actually entertains herself from time to time. She really likes her dinosaurs and her tiny little dolls that came in her happy meals. She puts the dolls on the backs of various things and has them fly around. But, by far the cutest is listening to her converse these different objects. There's nothing quite as cute as listening to your own children having a conversation with themselves.
Ryan and I are doing well, we've been trying to spend as much time together and as a family as possible since we've really been tight with money lately and he's had to work even more overtime than usual.
All in all things are going well in our worlds and we hope to hear wonderful things about yours as well, take care and be blessed.
