Cael has been saying the funniest things lately. For the past few weeks every time I ask him something he answers "is this kinda joke?" It often leads to us going back and forth and me trying to explain that it isn't a joke! i have no idea where he picked it up but he loves to say it. last night me and Casey were putting clothes away and verbally blaiming the other for putting it off all weekend. as we were loudly complaining Cael yelled "don't fight, we're a family!" it's funny how a 4-year-old can quickly put you in your place. he is loving primary, even though he will not admit it. i've heard that he will not sing during singing time, but yet he knows all the songs and sings them at home and in the car. Nikki took him and Gav for a walk and told them to hold hands and "follow the leader, follow the leader", Cael was quick to correct her and started sing "follow the prophet, follow the prophet". He also loves "book of mormon stories" and usually sings it in the car. Nikki just got a new van (sportswagon) and she was bring the kids to Nephi and told Cael that they were going to wash her car. Cael reminded her that "this isn't a car, it's a van!" He was being a good big brother and playing with Kensie and her doll house. I looked down and he had the mom and brother sharing a bed, so i asked why is the brother sharing a bed with the mom and he answered "because the dad works too much!" Casey is rarely gone at night, but when he is I usually let Cael sleep with me and try to make dad being gone fun, but i guess he's thinking he's Casey's replacement. On february 12 we took the kids to see the draper temple and Cael loved it and was such a good boy. (kensie was another story and decided she was hungry when we got to the celestial room. she was screaming so loud I had to take her out in the hall, she calmed down for a minute until when went into the sealing room to sit down for a presentation, she flipped again so I headed to the hall again to try and calm her down. When I got in the hall i notice Cael had followed me out. I went to tell Casey that I was going outside, but before I got to they shut the door. Me and the Kids heading outside to the church nearby where they were serving refreshments and after a few minutes Casey got there and said the presentation was really cool, i feel bad i missed it mostly because I've been a parent for 4 years and should of been more prepared with snacks.)
Kensie is growing like crazy, but still not talking much. Casey claims she did say daddy yesterday, but there were no witnesses. In church she loves helping sister wilcox lead the music and Cael thinks it funny she tries to sing with everyone. She has reached the climbing stage and if you turn your back she it on top of something! her favorite place is on the island when everyone is trying to eat. When she is done eating she throws everything she doesn't want on the floor, which makes cleaning fun! She is starting to play with her toys and books more. She loves to cuddle up in her rocking chair and be read a book. her babies are getting more attention and mabey she won't be a tom-boy and want to play with cars and tractors all the time.
