Learning

I am really enjoying this kindergarten stage of Grace's life.  She is learning and growing so quickly!  It has been said many times, by me as well, that children just don't change as much as they do the first year of life, but I am going to have to disagree.  Grace has changed so much this year in kindergarten!  Learned so many new things and grown in confidence.  Here is her latest creation, all on her own, no help.

Speaking of first year of life, Madelyn has learned how to crawl inside our kitchen cupboards.  I think this must be a rite of passage.  You cannot grow up until you have crawled into at least one cupboard.  (and emptied everything inside onto the floor at least a dozen times, a day)

Thaddeus isn't changing a whole lot.  He is a tricky kid though!  He is learning how to trick people.  He loves to knock on the wall, or table and then say, "Oh, someone is here"  or he'll be looking out the window and say, "Mom, _________ is here!" if we are waiting for a friend. (but they aren't)  If you send him into another room looking for something he will come back and say, "I can't find it" but he is hiding it behind his back.
