My Kids

So with being a mom you are very forgetful, no matter how many kids you have! So I wanted to write these two stories down before I forget as I know there are a lot of stories I'm sure I've forgotten. So the other day we were at Silver Dollar City (another post with pictures to come soon) and we were walking around, A LOT! Cora was walking a lot that day without sitting in the stroller and she turns to me and says, "Mom I know what walking is." me: "what" Cora: "exercising" me: "You're right Cora, you are so smart!" Cora: (She turns to me holding up her fist that has her CTR ring on and says: "Choose the Right!" She is in this phase where she loves her CTR ring and thinks that everything she does that is good is because she is wearing the ring. And of course a couple of days ago apparently she had hit one of her siblings (I was at mutual, so this is through Nick) and he was talking to her about why she hit her sibling. He reminded her about her wearing her CTR ring and choosing the right and how hitting her siblings was not choosing the right. She responds to Nick with: "Well, I wasn't wearing my ring then!" She is quite the cookie! And Kayley the other day says to me, "Mom I think it's going to be Spring soon." I asked her why she knew that and she says, "Well I just know there will be flowers out and baby birds hatching out of eggs soon." I replied with a "you are exactly right and so smart!" She is learning about spring and things that hatch out of eggs in school. They even had scrambled eggs for her snack the other day at school and I asked her if they were baby bird eggs they were eating, she looked at me like I was crazy! So, is it me, or are my kids just the smartest!?!? Rex is also learning how to sort of wave, clap, and of course loves to give kisses now on command even. They are open kisses, but sweet as can be!!
