worth documenting

Some things have happened this past week I feel are worth documenting lets start with Jane. She has officially turned into a book worm. I thought she already was one but it turns out she can read even longer than I thought she could. She has plowed through two of her chapter books this week, she lost her 10th tooth, and on a combined note she and Eli completed there first 100 piece puzzle together. Now for Eli. I was eating lunch with Eli, just the two of us, out of no where he said, "Next baby season, could we have a girl. We have a lot of boys in our family and not so many girls." I told him I wasn't sure when the next baby season was going to be. Eli got new snow boots, not just because they were getting to small but also so stinky, you could smell them from a mile away. He has successfully worn socks every time the new boots have been on his feet. Last night when I went to check on Eli and Hyrum before I went to bed, I found Eli at the bottom of his bed and Hyrum at the top of Eli's bed. I had heard them playing for awhile after I put them to bed. Little did I know they were getting all the blankets from the linen closet to pile on Eli's bed. I thought for sure they would wake each other in the middle of the night, but they slept in and came bouncing up the stairs the next morning. Hyrum said to me, "I had a sleepover in Eli's bed."It makes me so happy that when they are not beating each other up they are really good friends. Walt has had a lot of firsts in the past week. He said his firs word. I was stirring a pot of soup with him in my arms and he said, "hot" It was so much fun. the next day he said, "uh-oh" and that same day he turned around and went down the stairs all by himself. The next day Daddy gave him his first hair cut. He also putts his hands on his head and get's this super cute grin on his face when anyone say's "where's Walt" then he jerks his hands down. I just have so much fun watching them all grow. What a gift it is.
