Our little boy is one! Happy birthday Eigen. It is hard to believe he is already a year old.
It’s not a birthday without tears 
Eigen was so sad when I pulled his hand away from the flame. He did not eat any cake, but he “yummed” lots of frosting!
Eigen is walking a lot now. Just this week he has been letting go and cruising frankenstein style. So fun. Happy birthday to our little fruit snack loving boy.
Yesterday, Friday, Bridget and Kimball both said some lines I have to quote.
On the way to take Sterling to the doctor (pink eye) we got rerouted due to lots of road work around our neighborhood. I said we were going to be late. Bridget chimes in “we will tell the doctor we were late because of all the destruction.” Darn construction…but we ended up being only 2 minutes late.
We went on a date and left all the kids with the babysitter (thanks McKayla). Eigen did not want McKayla…so Kimball tried. He called my cell phone several times asking for help. When I called him back he was pleasantly amazed that “Bridget is taking care of Eigen. Who new she was so like her mom.” Eigen fell asleep in her arms and had a little nap and then was happy for the last bit. We went and played laser tag with friends from the ward.
So, Eigen has had ear infections for over a month now. 2 rounds of antibiotics over the last few weeks and 3 shots this week…here is hoping for the pain to stop. Needless to say we are in need of sleep.
Happy New Year!
We are all a bit tired from numerous late nights and the change in Church schedule. We now go to Church at 9 am. This is a love/hate relationship. Love going to church in the morning, hard getting everyone fed, dressed and ready by 8:45.
Sterling is now a Sunbeam. He is the “little guy” according to the others in his Sunbeam/CTR 4 class. Sharing time was about agency and how every choice has a consequence. The kids got to take turns holding a choice/consequence stick. One child said a good choice and the other child answered. For example: “clean your room before your mom asks” Bridget got to tell the consequence “your mom will be amazed!” “Eat your fruits and vegetables” Sterling responded in a sweet tiny voice “you will be healfy.” Both answers were quite precious and sincerely thought out.
Hope 2012 is a wonderful year for all.
