Little Blessings

Micah:
I realized how far my little Micah has come in his speech. He is developing sentences now and demands to be heard. :) He is starting to become quite a little ham. At the dinner table when we asked him what his happy part of the day was, these are some responses we received:
1. No answer and just crossing his eyes because he knows Gavin will laugh hysterically.
2. "Poopy Butt"
3. As he is chomping on his food, "Food."
4. Hannie (The neighbor girl, Hannah)
Although the dinner responses aren't much for showing how far his speech has come, they still get a good chuckle out of all of us. I know we probably shouldn't be laughing at all of that.

He also has been so snuggly at night. Wanting to rub my hair, put his arm around me, say his prayers over this family.

Aubriella:
She has been a rockstar lately! She has been helping out in so many ways: keeping Micah occupied while I'm teaching Gavin, making her bed, doing laundry, dishes, etc.
Also, she has been sleeping in her own bunk bed instead of the cot in our bedroom!
I'm impressed by the maturity level she has been displaying lately. It has been such a treat to have her around.

Gavin:
Gavin is putting many Biblical connections together lately. Tonight he independently picked up and read a devotional about being thankful for all of your teachers. He has not been particularly fond of his swim instructor this past month; with large eyes staring at me he said, "Mom, this means even people like my swimming teacher!" Then he said a prayer to the Lord thanking him for his teacher. I appreciate that he is comprehending God's word and truly taking it to heart.
