Just things

I am going to write just a couple of small things just for the purpose of having them, and updating Melyn.
Today I took the kids to the park. Brayden has enjoyed swinging since the day he was born. He could "pump" all by himself when he was only 2. Well today I was swinging next to him with Jackson on my lap, when he started to complain about the swing being "twisty". I told him that maybe the wind was just making his swing twist a little, and he thought about that. I looked closely at the top of his swing and noticed that a bolt was just a little loose and could slide around, thus making one side a little longer than the other, and I went to tell him, but he cut me off saying, "Mom, I figured it out! It isn't the wind that is pushing me it is the Holy Ghost. And he just can't push right." Me and the lady pushing her son next to us about died laughing!

My little Jackson could not say one understandable word as of 4 months ago. I distinctly remember because I took him into the Doctor with Katelyn for her 6 week check-up, Brayden's flue shot, and Jackson's 18 month check up at the same time. (very dumb, do not take 3 kids to the doctor all by yourself, at the same time. Especially if they are getting shots. By the time we left, I was the one bawling out of frustration!) The doctor looked at Jackson and told me just how cute he was, but then asked me how many words Jackson knew. I said, "2." She looked at me and asked, "Can he put them together?" I just kind of sat there thinking, I don't think he even knows what those two words really mean. When we left, I was extremely worried about my son, but she told me not to be too concerned just yet. She said, "When he starts talking, it will come out in sentences!" 3 months later, Bam! Entire sentences! And they are adorable. He is the most polite kid I know. He says please-Peas Thank you-shank shoo mom! and your welcome-wor welcome mom! Thank you Barney the dinosaur! Well today at the gym, I left the kids to go work out and when I came back, six employees were gathered around Katelyn and Jackson in the back. They were all just a giggling at Jackson making Katelyn laugh by hitting himself in the face, then he would say, "Good job princess!" He calls her princess all the time. I don't think he knows her real name. I will record him saying it and put it on here, as soon as I figure out how.

Last is my Katerbug! (that is the nickname Brayden has given her.) She is giggling, smiling, and wrapping everyone she knows around those cute little fingers, that have now found her mouth and she is refusing to take the binki anymore! (I really really tried this time!!!) She loves her brothers more than anyone else, and just loves to lay on the floor and watch them! She even has a special scream that means, Mom... Jackson is sitting on my head! Her eyes just glow the second Brayden walks into the room! She has been here for nearly 5 months, and we don't know what we would do without her!
