Growing!

There has been a lot of growing going on at our house! Hansom has now memorized the 4th Article of Faith! So now my 4 year old has memorized the 13th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Articles of Faith! Way to go Bud! Hopefully you can hear him, he talks quietly to begin with, and trying to have him talk louder didn't work.

And Gorgeous has grown tons too! A month ago she just started singing with us, usually getting the last word in each phrase of the song. She also started repeating after us in her prayers. (which means her and Hansom argue over who gets to say the meal prayers). And of course she went from saying one word to convey her meanings, to short phrases! Way to go. And that's not all.

One day as we were getting read to go. Gorgeous came to me saying "pee pee" which usually meant she needed a diaper change. I said ok, and took a minute to get to her. When I went looking for her I found her in the bathroom, diaper off, standing next to the toilet, with a puddle under her legs. Yes, she wanted to go pee pee in the toilet. So I set her on, and she finished her business. We clapped and cheered. Which meant she would constantly want to sit on the toilet. After 4 days of taking off and putting on her cloth diapers, which seemed like 100 times, I had had it. I wondered about investing in cloth training pants. But in the end, and after prayer (I know it seems silly to pray about potty training, but hey, why not I could use the help!) I decided not to spend the money, and instead went straight to big girl panties! She was just so easy to potty train, it's been less than a week! What a big girl! Not even 2 yet and potty trained!
