Dall and Claire

With baby #3 just days from making her debut, I (like most mom's) have been getting a litte emotional thinking about my other two kids and how their lives are about to drastically change. I thought I would take a minute to document a bit about each of my sweet kids at this phase in their lives.

Dallin A:
-Mr. Social. Loves friends, playing with friends (mainly his new BFF Zach our neighbor
-Kindergarten goer. He absolutely LOVES school. I am totally amazed at how much he is already learning in the short few months he has been going. He reads, writes, and is using his imagination so much more
-Mr. Sassy pants. He has been acting like a teenage girl lately, talking back, gracing us with tons of attitude
-Wiggle worm. Cannot. Hold. Still. Ever
-Poor sleeper. Stil wakes up in the night, and up by about 6 every single day.
-Smartie pants. Just amazes me with his knowledge ever single day. Love it.
-Snuggle bug. Still loves to give hugs and kisses, and cuddle up with mom or dad. This never gets old.
-Mr. Artsy. He has been loving arts and crafts lately, something he NEVER used to like. Keeps him occupied for a bit, which I like,
-Imagination? What's that. He still struggles with this one. He cant play alone very well and has a hard time with free play when he is alone
-Has the most darling "crooked smile". Basically his bottom jaw is crooked and will definitely require orthodontic work in the future. Better start saving now!
-Is very adaptable. He has adjusted to moving twice and switching schools over this past year beautifully. So proud of him.
-Soccer star. Still loves soccer and is truly a natural. We are excited to try him in football this next season (per his request)
-Mr. Mature. In most cases I feel like I am interacting with a 10 year old!
-Tries to "parent" Claire. Seriously drives me nuts.

Claire A:
-Ms. INDEPENDENT. She is 2, need I say more?
-My little monkey. Seriously, she can climb ANYTHING and does.
-Picky eater. Lately she has been refusing so many foods. Hopefully it's a phase. I try not to read into it, but dont make her multiple things. She goes without if she doesnt eat it.
-Sleeps. All. Night. Ahh.
-Should really start potty training...
-Cannot wait for her baby sister to "Come Out"
-Dora obsessed. Like bad.
-Loves to sing songs, especially before bed.
-The word "No" has entered her life, and she is in love. Me, not so much.
-Has the typical love/hate relationship with Dallin. Loves him when he is gone and misses him, but they bicker like crazy when they are together.
-Loves to sit in the swing and go "high" like she is 5 or something.
-Seriously needs some help getting her hair to grow in thicker. There are literally bald spots on her scalp. Any suggestions?
-cuddle bug. She like her brother is very loving and offers hugs and kisses all day
-Plays well alone. It's a true blessing for us, really.
-Speaks really well, can talk in sentences and knows her ABC's and can count to 15
-Follows her brother around and wants to do everything he does.
-Is in love with my phone and playing games on it. Dangerous though, cuz she has accidentally signed me up for some monthly 9.99 playboy charge. OOps!
-She insists on using her hands to eat most things. Forks are no fun at all!
-Has a very sweet personality, but is definitely gaining a bit of sass
-Just melts my heart every day!

Well there ya have it, a little info about my kiddos. I will be glad I did this, more for my own reference in the future. Cannot wait to add the 3rd child to the list in 2 DAYS! I will keep everyone updated on the induction which is scheduled for 7:30 on Sunday morning. Until then...
