Beauty shop and basketball

The other night Caitlyn wanted to play beauty shop.  She wanted me to paint her nails and put her hair in curlers.  It was fun because she was so excited.  She said she was going to sleep in the curlers, but then decided they weren't comfortable.  She couldn't believe that I had to wear them every Saturday night as a little girl. 
Jonah had his second basketball game on Saturday.  Things went better this week because he knew what to expect.  He got the ball a lot more and seemed to enjoy it, even though he is still not totally sure what is going on.
Here he is dribbling down the court.  It is funny to see all the kids just pick up the ball and run.  Jonah is pretty good about dribbling most of the time.  He made an awesome basket here so he was a happy boy.
Caitlyn gets so excited to play with Wyatt when she gets home from school.  The other day she was pulling Wyatt around the house on her blanket.  He loved it.  Wyatt knows he can get Caitlyn to do anything for him. 
Whenever I pull out the camera Wyatt goes and stands by the door so I can take his picture.  It always makes me laugh.  He is always folding his arms for prayer now and even reminded us the other day that we hadn't said a blessing on the food.  We were all eating and he folded his arms and said, "uh uh uh."  So cute.  He also said his first word a week ago, "Jesus."   We have a picture of Him in his room and he said it while we were looking at the picture.  He also said, "kitty" and "fish."  I forgot how fun this stage is.
I love how Wyatt walks around like he owns the house.  He struts around and slams open doors and charges in rooms.  He knows he can get the kids to give him whatever he wants.  Jonah was making him smile while he was taking a bath.  I love that smile.
