Crazy Kids

I love the black socks and diaper on Wyatt!  He has no interest in potty training.  We were spoiled with Jonah and now I don't know what to do with Wyatt.  Hopefully sometime soon he will want to potty train.  He is also so attached to his binky.  He only gets it at bed time, but he is asking for it a lot lately.  The other day he came up with his binky and I asked him where he got it and he said, "it was a surprise, for my birthday."  He is such a funny kid. 
Caitlyn is such a funny girl.  I love when she is carefree and being goofy.  She has always been extreme.  She is either a nervous wreck or being completely goofy and showing off. We went shopping for her baptism dress this week.  It was so fun to spend some one-on-one time with her.  She made me laugh a lot.  We also took her to the orthodontist and she has to start with some braces and a jaw expander next week. Caitlyn had a really rough weekend and had a full blown panic attack on Saturday.  It was so scary.  Keith just held her and finally got her calmed down and then he gave her a blessing.  It was such a powerful, wonderful blessing and it immediately calmed her down and she has been doing so much better since then. I am so grateful for the power of the priesthood. On Saturday night she said, "It feels so good to feel normal again."  It breaks my heart to see her struggle with this.  We have had some things come up that we think will help and I hope that things will calm down for her soon.
Wyatt cleaned out Hallee's toy box and thought it was so funny to play in there.  A few weeks ago at Jonah's basketball game he was sitting with the team (he loves to do that) and all of the sudden he ran across the court to the bleachers and started talking to this guy.  Keith ran over there to get him and he was just talking to everyone like he knew them all his life.  Funny kid!
Hallee loves to play on the floor.  She doesn't like to sit up much and doesn't seem to have any interest in standing or crawling.  Every once in a while I will get worried about it when I hear about babies her age doing things that she isn't doing, but usually I'm not too worried about it.
She likes to play at this table, but we have to hold her tight because she won't balance at all.
Jonah plays with Hallee every chance he gets.  She loves all of the attention.
I love to watch my kids play together.
Last week Hallee got really sick.  She wouldn't sleep or eat.  I finally let her sleep with me and Keith slept on the couch so he could get some sleep because she just kept waking up and screaming.  We didn't sleep much that night, but I sure loved having her sleep on me again.  It has been a long time since she has done that.  After a few bad nights she started sleeping again and she is doing so much better now. 
One of our goals now that Keith has finished school is to spend more one-on-one time with the kids. Granite Peaks had a Lego car racing class last week so Keith and Jonah went and had a great time.  They had fun building a car.
After they would race it against the other kids.  Jonah's first car fell apart so they went back and built a better one and Jonah said he beat every one a bazillion times!
This was the perfect activity for Jonah and Keith.
