"sneaking"

While cooking dinner I couldn't find Charlee. I ignored it for a bit and then started to worry a little as to where she might be and what she might be into. Brian and the boys were out riding bikes and it was extremely quiet inside, so I called "Charlee," no answer. I did hear a noise... "Charlee," "what" I heard softly from the music room. As I opened the door Cha Cha was sitting in the corner on our old printer/copier eating some butterscotch chips. One at a time, very lady like, if that is something ladies do?

Jen: Are you sneaking?

Charlee: "No oHh" she said "eating!"

I brought her into the kitchen with me and she opened the fridge unloaded the bottom shelf and tried to get in. She was not happy that the door would not shut. She is becoming a very busy little girl. She is so different from my boys, if she has a drip or a spill she walks over to the kitchen towel drawer and opens it up, grabbing a towel and wipes up her mess. She will shut drawers and pick up shoes and toys and she passes them. She loves to put things away, and she also loves to throw things away. My favorite thing that she does right now has to be when she is finished with what she is doing, she gently brushes off her hands.

Brian and I have struggled getting Jacob to walk on his foot, Brian has worked so hard to help him. Jacob can ride his bike just fine, but he can not put his full weight on his leg. So Brian took them all for a bike ride. Jacob is doing much better, thanks to his love for his dad. He might argue with Brian and he might get frustrated and not want to do the things that Brian says to do, but you can see it and feel it, he would do anything to make his daddy proud of him.


sorry, not the best picture of you Brian. :)

Brad wants to try a unicycle again! I've never seen him on one, but he says he knows how. And I know what you mean about Charlee being into everything! So is Braydee! Silence is never a good thing around here anymore. But Braydee doesn't eat lady like. She stuffs until she can't even chew to swallow. Silly Girl.
