What's up Wednesday

What a difference a couple of years make....

Leah crawled in to Trindon's car seat when I was getting it ready to pack. She looked so HUGE I had to take a picture. It's amazing to think she was once so tiny.

 It's also amazing to think what she is capable of already....Sunday, our first day back from Utah, Phil asked me to look at the back door that he was fixing. As we were discussing the options for completing the project Leah decided to turn the deadbolt and lock us out of the house! I have laughed at people who have been locked out by their children and now it's happened to me. Phil was very calm and tried to talk her through turning the deadbolt back and she was working really hard it, but just couldn't quite turn it. Luckily I realized that I had left the front door unlocked (something I NEVER do) when I returned from my walk. After we got ourselves back in the house we also remembered we had a spare key outside. So it all ended well, but it was also a good lesson learned.

Another lesson learned, kites don't last very long!

Leah has been wanting a kite for awhile. In Utah she kept talking about how she was going to get a princess kite and Bubby was going to get a Cars kite. Daddy went shopping by himself and came home with just a Cars kite, which amazingly didn't cause an epic meltdown. She had a blast flying it, but it only lasted about 15 minutes. Good thing it cost $4.....and she can get a princess kite next week.

I need to get a video of this, but for now you'll just have to take my word for it. Trindon LOVES his Daddy! When it gets late in the day Trindon starts keeping his ears open for his Daddy to come home. Our security system is set to have a notification beep go off when any doors or windows open, so starting around 5ish if Trindon hears the door beep he goes running to the garage door shouting "Da Da Da".  Phil rarely makes it home that early so the first few times are usually me taking dirty diapers to the garage, but when it is actually his "Da" he knows it. Sometimes he even puts his finger up in the air like a little dictator proclaiming the arrival of "Da". It's quite sweet and makes me and "Da" very happy!
