Funday Monday

Yesterday we were invited to have dinner with Aunt Katherine.

As soon as we walked in Eliana was so happy to see her.

She was just full of "HIs" and hugs.

We had yummy baked potato, meat, veggies and salad.

Eliana couldn't have enough dessert though.

She just kept saying "cookies"

There were cupcakes and cookies.

After dinner we played Yahtzee.

Eliana grabbed a die and put it in her mouth.

SO Aunt Katherine took some toys out.

This is where she surprised me.

She had farm animals and cars.

She saw the car and said

" OH VROOM VROOM!"

Um what?

"Casey did you teach Eliana what car is?"

No..me either.

Hm

Wonder where she learned it.

I may have said it once but that was a while while back.

So this morning when I woke up to feed Liam, Eliana was in our bed.

Casey says he didn't get her and I don't remember bringing her.

Since she knows how to get on and off of most furniture, 

We came to the conclusion that she crawled onto our bed.

When I brought Liam to bed and latched him on 

I found myself not tired.

I looked at the time.

Then it hit me.

Liam slept 8 hours.

It was 6:18am.

First night that we slept for so long.

Amazing.

It is around the time Eliana began sleeping through the night.

Now we can only hope it stays that way.

I am excited for this and because we may get "Your baby can read" today.

Last night Casey and I had a conversation over if we were doing the right thing in getting it.

We find it important our kids learn to read 

But will this mean that we are pushing our kids to learn too early.

Maybe we should actually let them learn when they feel like it.

Then it hit me.

Eliana loves books and reading.

She has been learning so many words.

Besides, I want to home school them.

Maybe she will enjoy it and see it as a fun game.

We also had a Lord of the Rings Marathon.

Casey got if for Christmas.

Sunday night Casey said

"So for tomorrows marathon would you like to watch Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter?"

The only thing about it is that I wished we already had the Hobbit.

I know Casey is going to want to get it, but I haven't watched it.

So I've been trying to workout and it seems like the kids are only letting me get 20 minutes of workout in.

So I have to find something that works really well that takes little time as 20 minutes a day. Great!

Liam is liking his tummy time. Today he lasted about 10 minutes on his tummy. Good job little man!
