Little Memories

Here are some of the little memories that I wanted to write down.  I'm sure when they are teenagers and adults I'm going to love reading these little stories.

• Carter my four year old puppy love, is growing so big every day.  We have even been allowing him to play in the woods behind our house with other kids by himself for short periods of time.  It is amazing how long he can occupy himself by digging and scooping dirt in the garden.
• Ava my three year old storyteller is hilarious!  One day during dinner she busted out a story that had everyone rolling on the ground laughing.  Right now you love to play "Train to Abba-buh-blab-uh" with your brother.  We sit on rocks in the garden, while your brother the train conductor hands us tickets and drives the train.  When we arrive there is some sight-seeing before we get back on the train and drive back home.  I think that I played "Train to Abba-buh-blab-uh" for approximately 32 hours yesterday.  Swimming class is going well, you are becoming so brave.  I have seen you jumping off the edge of the pool to the instructor, which you have never done for me!  I must say I love swimming class days because you and your brother come home and eat a HUGE lunch and then pass out.  It is incredibly rare for both of you to nap, but it happens every time on swim class day.  
• Dawson, you are my little one year old disaster waiting to happen.  Falling down is the name of the game and you have first place in that game.  Recently I ducked inside the house to grab a napkin while you were on the porch with your siblings.  When I returned 1 minute later you had face planted and are now sporting a scab on your chin and elbow in addition to the broken arm.  You love books with DOORS, aka books with flaps.  I have read Dear Zoo at least 1,000 times in the last three days.
• This past weekend was Healthy kids day at the Y.  We happened to be there due to soccer and enjoyed this event as well.  The kids got to jump in a bouncy castle, play with a lemur, collect various treasures and finally  Ava and I got to attend a kids Yoga class.  It was a blast.  Ava loved every second of it and it was so cute to see her trying the various poses.
