What Can I Say?

I'm so proud of Taylor and all the things she has learned at school this year. Its fun to preserve some of the writings she brings home as they can be enlightening to me as her parent and what goes on in that smart brain of hers. Here is some answers she wrote (she's having fun with her new cursive skills) to the question "What do you want to do as an adult someday?"

1 - Aspiring to be a teacher is a great thing and I suspect its because she has had such wonderful teachers to look up to that she has this desire.
2 - Taylor has always showed gratitude and appreciation for the opportunities she has had to travel. I love this about her!
3 - It gives me great joy to know she has a testimony and knows the importance of continuing on as an adult in going to church each Sunday to worship and learn more of our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ.

Taylor also participated with all the other 3rd, 4th and 5th graders in the Structure Fair. She had to research  and tell about a structure of her choosing and construct it. She received a "100% Creative" award for her structure which is of the largest climbing tower in the world.

I'm So Pretty

Lee Lee is my current nickname for this little girl of mine. She is into EVERYTHING! She is constantly taking off her diapers too and yet she's not serious about wanting to potty train at this point (she's not quite 2 1/2 years yet). I love her but she keeps me cleaning constantly. She is very smart and is talking in full sentences on a constant basis. Somehow she knows all her colors even though I've never sat down to teach her. She's just picked them up in her interactions with her siblings probably. The only color she gets stumped on is orange. When I point to something orange and say "what color is this?" she will think for a second before responding with "Apple!". She's so smart that she remembers it is a fruit name but calls it apple instead of orange. Hilarious! She's either going to speed up my aging process or keep me young and in shape. I hope its the latter!
