Ummmmm? Random stuff

I am not creative enough to come up with a better Title and also not as faithful with blogging as I wish I would be and can hardly find the time to do it. So instead I have been jotting down the things the kids have been doing over the past week. That way I can preserve the memories and I dont have to make a ton of seperate blog posts. I ask the kids every once in a while what their favorite things are and here were their responses from last night.


Kenidi
Fav food- Breakfast food, like cheerieos or corn pops
Fav toy- Britynn ( I love that one)
Fav color- Purple
Fav cartoon- peep wide world
Best friend- Kaden





Kaden
Fav food- I couldn't get him to be serious about this one so his response was "the bed"?
Fav toy- play vacuum
Fav color- red
Fav cartoon- Super why
Best friend- Kenidi





I love that they both said their best friend was each other! There is nothing more pleasant to a parents ears than to hear them say they would rather play with their own brother or sister. I remember when I was a kid growing up we would always ask my dad what he wanted for Christmas and his reply would always be " To have my children get a long!" I never quite understood why he always wanted that so much. Not until recently that is. I would have to say that over the past five months I have really started to appreciate why he desired such a gift as that... the kids have really been quite easy playing together but like I said these past five months or so have really been a turning point. They have been more at heads probably because of the fact that I am now distracted with Britynn since she requires a lot of attention. Also I hadn't been doing FHE as faithfully as I should which always makes a big difference with how my kids behave.



I have been teaching Kaden how to say his whole name and every now and then I will quiz him to see if he can properly say it. So the other day I asked him what his full name was and he told me his name was Kaden Animal Steimle!!! LoL!! I asked him again if he knew what his full name was and he still said his middle name was animal? At first I thought that maybe he just can't pernounce Adam, but when I ask him to just say Adam he has no problem. Later that same day he came up to me with these big pouty eyes and said that he had an owie and that he needed me to make it better, So I asked what he wanted me to do...... He said that he wanted me to put Jello on it! You gotta love the innocence of a child :)



Several weeks ago Kenidi was saying the blessing on the dinner and in her prayer she kept saying a ton of funny things, I can't remember all of what she said because I forgot to write it all down at the time. But the one thing that still stands out in my mind is that she specifically asked that we will start to have more money in our bank account. I later asked her about that and why she thought that was so important and she said that she has been noticing me talking about the bills and how we cant make ends meet. She is so observant, I didn't even think she was listening.

Kenidi is at the age where she will rein act what she sees on TV, I have been tracking the kids progress through the parent tracker on pbsparents.org the site has detailed info on your child's development and so I always watch to see if my kids are doing the stuff they talk about and rein acting the things they see on TV is one of those things. She loves to watch this show called "Peep wide world" the show is about birds. This one particular episode she was watching was all about one of the birds learning how to fly, I was going about my business cleaning the apartment and doing the laundry, when I was in the bedroom I kept hearing a loud thud. The noise continued about 6 more times and after the last thud I heard Kenidi let out a big Growling sound- as if she were frustrated. I went into the family room and found her standing on the couch with two books in her hands, she jumped from the couch and flapped the books as fast as she possibly could and then looked at me and said " Mom, I just cant fly! Why cant I fly mom? " I told her that I sometimes wish I could fly too :)
