Funny Little Kiddos

Tonight, Miss Anna was headed up to bed with her usual armload of items she HAS to have to sleep. She turned around and went back to Daddy and said, "Can you carry my binkie (blanky)?" Daddy said, "Sure." Then she said, "Can you carry my babies?" Daddy again agreed to do this. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Can you carry Anna?" Daddy laughed for a moment, and picked her up :)

This morning, Anna wasn't too happy about my checking e-mail prior to breakfast. She huffed at the gate and said, "Mommy, you don't play on that thing!"

Matthew hit a big milestone today: he learned how to ride his bike w/o training wheels. We've been helping him a bit, but he really worked hard today by himself and figured it out. His motivation: that was the last leg he had to earn on his octopus and now he can buy the Lego Star Wars Wii game (or whatever other Star Wars/Lego thing that trips his fancy under $20.) They have been working on earning all eight octopus legs since September and he finally did it! Ben has only one left, which is writing his name. It was tying his shoes, but he still has a little too much baby in his fingers to accomplish that task so we changed it to something more manageable. Anna has four remaining, all revolving around potty training.
