One of those nights...
Last night will not go down in history as one of Brady's or my favorites. Not only is Kyre still getting up a couple of times in the night, but Teagan decided to, as did Kaelsy who has not felt well these last few days. Kaelsy tried the bed with us most of the night...ughhh...she was glued to me and wouldn't let me move an inch without whining. Finally, sometime early this morning after crying and wanting down from our bed (and of course we were both too exhausted to go put her back in her bed), she somehow made her way to the couch and this is how we found her this morning. In fact... she is still like that. :-)

Kaelsy-ism
So, the other day Kaelsy was trying my patience - just a typical day with her. And as always, I had to resort to threats to get her to listen to me. After the fourth time (yes, all you experts probably have something to say to that, but I know there are some of you that can relate) trying to get her to stop doing something or other (because, of course, I don't really remember what she was doing, I just remember that she wasn't listening... I think she knows what she is doing more and more when I stop and think about it) I told her, "Someone is going to get the belt on their behind and that someone is Kaelsy!" Her reply, "Ummm, I Teagan!" Again... how can I keep a straight face with that thrown back at me? Not very well! What a kid!

Round Two
Kyre seems to have a few favorite things lately. One, he loves to pull himself up into a standing position (I hope this does not mean that he will be an early walker) and he loves the dog's kong as shown in a previous slide. Well the two favorites got combined the other night. The little chair that he can pull himself up to really good was in the perfect position for him to also go after Sophie's kong. We had purposely put it up off the floor thinking we could outsmart the boy...well, he outsmarted us and not only pulled himself up to standing position, but pulled himself up into the chair, too! And we thought Kaelsy kept us on our toes.

First Tooth!
Last Sunday Teagan was complaining about one of her teeth hurting her. When we checked it out, we couldn't believe what we found! A loose tooth! She is only 4 1/2. And Thursday night, after much working from her little finger and tongue all week she was able to pull it out with much encouragement from her father. She definitely has a greater pain tolerance than the rest of us, because I didn't think it was that loose for her to have it pulled. I was proven wrong. She was so excited that she called her Nana and Grandad right away and then wanted to go right to bed so that the Tooth Fairy would come visit her. She wasn't disappointed. The next morning she found a whole dollar under her pillow! Since when did the Tooth Fairy start giving bills? I was born in the wrong time! She has her tithing already filled out to give to the Bishop Sunday, too! What a kid!

Whose Toy Is It?
So, it isn't like we do not have lots of toys for Kyre to play with, but he always seems to find the dog's kong. Unfortunately, Kyre does not know the rules yet. He has his toys and Sophie has her toys. The whole time this was going on, Sophie kept looking at her kong and then at us as if to say, "C'mon guys, I don't get to play with the kids' toys!"
