Thanks A Lot

Recently I've been emphasizing the importance of talking nice to Kate. I correct her when she yells, talks mean, ect. The other day I started to sing a song to her when she was on the computer doing her alphabet letters and she looked at me, gave me her really big happy face and very slowly said to me, "Could you pleeease stop singing." Smiling the whole time. I couldn't help but laugh. I guess I should be glad that talking nice is sinking in.

Milestones

Two days ago Gabriella started rolling over from back to tummy. It was pretty fun to watch her try and try and then finally do it. She was so proud of herself (or she just prefers the view from her tummy) that she is constantly doing it now. It has amazes me how she doesn't get frustrated, she just tries and tries until she does it. She continues to be a super happy sweet little girl.

Kate also willingly and happily went to Nursery today. I still had to stay with her or the tears started, but it was an improvement from a month ago when she was screaming and clinging to the door frame to keep from going in.

Kate has also learned to navigate two different programs on the computer. She does her alphabet letters all by herself and also the Disney Princess website. It amazes me that a 2 1/2 year old can sit on the computer and play games all by herself. It's a little ridiculous, but she loves playing the games. She also learned this last week how to spell Kate, Mom, and Dad. We're working on Gabriella but it's a little long.

Today was also the first time I've attempted Sacrament meeting by myself with both the girls. Matt didn't get home from work until 6am. He was teaching Sunday School so I knew he was coming but I didn't have it in me to make him get up early with us to go to Sacrament so I got the girls and I ready and we headed to Church. They were both amazingly good which I am so grateful for. Gabriella just stood on my lap and jumped while smiling at all the people behind us. Seriously that girl is so social. She loves to be around people and will smile all day long at anyone that makes eye contact with her. Kate did great folding her arms and trying to sit reverently although half the time she was lying on the bench. It was a good experience over all and I'm so glad we went.

Resurrection

Tonight Kate and I were watching Beauty and the Beast together. At the end Kate asked what happened to the Beast. I replied, "Do you think he dies?" She thought for a minute and then confidently said "Yea, and then he'll get resurrected and then he'll be alive again and live with heavenly Father!" I'm glad to know sometimes she pays attention.
