Ayla can climb out of her crib now. I went away for the weekend a couple weeks ago. When I got back, she was a totally different girl. She used to go to bed so easily at night. It just so happened that she got a bad cold that last day I was gone, but apparently she cried and cried the weekend I was away. Ian took the kids and himself to stay at his parents so that he could have additional help. Me being gone plus sleeping in a new place, while getting a cold didn't help things. Anyway, when I got back she kept climbing out of her crib. CRAZINESS! She is so tired in the afternoons but she fights and fights being left alone in her room/crib for her nap too. I guess she's growing up!
Ayla can also sing the whole song of I'm a Child of God. Most of the words are jumbled, but she has can carry the tune of the song the whole way through. She will also sing Jingle bells, but only part of it before repeating parts over and over. I'm not positive if I've mentioned in early posts about how she loves the Gummy Bear song. It's a Youtube thing and she loves to sing it. She started singing it back in Oct or November?
A recap for Ayla's b-day party. Her b-day was on a Thursday and it was a busy day. I had to work for Auntie Flo's, Abby had her first basketball practice, and then we had to race to the kids' school for Open House. So we only did a breakfast thing in the morning. It was a funny start to the day because the kids sang happy birthday to her first thing in the kitchen, but Ayla didn't like it. She ran over to Abby and went with the intent to hit her. She later calmed down. We tried to teach her to answer the question, how old are you? by answering, 2. She refused. She would only answer, "Grandpa". EVERY time. After a couple days she stopped responding that way and is now responding by saying "no". We have no idea where she got the idea to answer how old she is by saying, grandpa.
Caleb's preschool was all full so we couldn't get him back in for the last semester. It was/is such a bummer. We have decided to put him back into gymnastics a couple times a week and he seems to be ok with that as a replacement. He says he misses Miss Laurie though! We are putting Eli and Caleb into tennis as well, but on Saturday afternoons. Caleb turns 5 this Sunday. He wants a tank birthday so we are having a tank cake. What he's been saying he wants is a cotton candy machine for his b-day. What a funny request! For Christmas, he asked Santa for a popcorn machine! It was a surprise to me. He's a very unique little kid. He's growing up so fast.
