Caitlyn's way with words

I asked Caitlyn to tell me about the world history she had been reading and I loved how she phrased it.  Two examples were these observations-
"There was a lot of fighting among the European nobility," and
"Then along came the Netherlands to create more trouble."

:)

Me, wanting to show what Caitlyn had been doing in math that day, "Bill, do you know how to balance equations?"
Bill, "No."
Kelsey, having heard this type of thing before, "Daddy, did you ever go to school and did you ever listen to the teacher?"

TMI

Keegan read in her zoology book all about worms - how you can get them, what they do inside your body, etc. - ugh!  I am so glad she likes her book, but, yuck, there is just some information I don't need to have :p.

Kelsey, wanting someone to carry her, "But, I'm feeble!"

Baby Brooklin!

Recently we were thrilled to get to spend the day with our niece/cousin Brooklin!

She is almost two and completely adorable.  We all love getting to spend time with her.

She LOVES going up and down the steps and the girls were very patient walking her up and down,

 and up and down, and up and down....

...enough that she had to give it up and take a nap despite her best intentions ;)

Then she woke up with this bed head.  Ha, ha!

How cute is that?!?!

 Here, the cat was surprisingly pleased when Brooklin offered her the dustpan :)

 What a sweet smile - so precious!

 Brooklin and (a little bit of) Kelsey, giggling about something

Still smiling at the end of the day -

 We love this little girl!!!!!

Listing to herself as she picked up socks, a piece of plastic, a sharpie, and a basketball, "My room, trash, kitchen drawer, PLAY!"

Contorted Caitlyn

Caitlyn has a habit which is either horrid or wise, depending on your perspective.  While we read or chat before she goes to bed, she stretches.  I am glad she is a committed dancer, but am pretty horrified to see some of the positions she gets herself into!

She always claims, "It doesn't hurt," but I am sure she must be mistaken :)!
