Cole started gymnastics last week & loves it. His coordination is quite amazing. It’s cute to see him stretching, swinging, hanging, running, jumping, balancing, riding the pommel horse, doing somersaults, climbing, etc. The only part I hate is chasing him when he loses interest in whatever they are supposed to be doing. I keep having to remind myself that it’s good for him physically and good to learn to follow directions.
We went to Hee Haw farms today with Rylie and Brady’s preschool that Amy teaches at. It was fun, but exhausting. I didn’t have the energy to take any pictures, so you’ll have to see pictures on Amy’s, Val’s, or Julie’s blog. My normally daredevil of a child, Cole, wouldn’t go down the slide, but enjoyed climbing up the hay bails and stairs to climb back down again. He was so excited to see the cows, pigs, chickens, goats, bunnies, etc. He loves to name the animals and make their noises to them. The hay ride was cut short due to the tractor dying. He got to pick a “punkin” (pumpkin). He loved riding the little tractors, but when he started crying cuz a kid wouldn’t let him on the big one… it was time to go!
Cole is doing so well potty training. He’s hasn’t had an accident in a whole week. We still put a diaper on at night, but he does great during the day… even staying dry through his naps. He says his prayers almost all by himself… they sound something like this “Heavenly Father, Jackson & Heidi (from daycare), potty, mommy, daddy, Brighton, Hallie, Gramma, Papa, Jornan, Shellys, Rylie, Saige… and then names nearly every cousin, aunt, & uncle he has… toys, blanket, good boy, Jesus, Amen.
Brighton got a second tooth over the weekend. Hallie has her first tooth pushing up where we can see the corner of it. Brighton jabbers pretty much nonstop. Sometimes we make out “mama”, “baba”, “yeah yeah”… and sometimes there is no sound, just her mouth moving. It’s funny! Hallie can sit up now by herself for a few minutes at a time. Brighton sits too, her balance just isn’t as good so she topples over more often. They both laugh now and have cute little senses of humor. They are both ticklish, but I got both of them giggling so hard last Sunday at my moms just by laughing and talking to them. There is just something amazing about babies giggles that just tickles everyone in hearing range.
