We also went to the Hogle Zoo and even though it's half torn up it was still a lot of fun! Sky loved the elephants, rhinos, and giraffes! We watched an elephant show and it was cool to see them up close. We also saw the gorillas and the male charged at the window, scared Sky for a minute but then she couldn't wait for him to do it again! The zoo is always a really good time! They also had a bunch of Lego displays that we thought were pretty cool!
We also went to the Kangaroo Zoo which is a place that has a ton of bouncy houses and slides! It was her second time there and she LOVES it. Of course Mommy had to go on every single one with her, it was fun! One embarrassing thing did happen though :( Karson always says "That's mine!" and will try to take something from her and now she is very good at saying that about everything and to everyone. There was a pregnant lady sitting at a table and as we were walking by her Sky yelled "That's mine!" and pointed to the nearest slide! I sure hope I can break her of that habit before day care starts in a month and a half! Otherwise we are in trouble!!
Sorry this blog is turning out to be so long, I just can't seem to find time since I have started going back to work. Anyway, Sky has been pretending to cook a lot these days. The other night Karson and I were sitting in the family room and Sky comes running in, goes up to Karson and says " Do you want a cheeseburger with ketchup and cheese on it?" and then turns to me and says "Mommy want a salad?" "OK, OK, I will go make them." Then she would run out of the room and put something in the microwave and pretend to cook it. She did that about 10 times, it was so funny! She has these thick puzzles of animals and numbers, she loves to take them and put them under the couch and say "I put them in the oven, they are cookin'!" She'd wait a few minutes and then come up and give you one and tell you to eat the cookie! I'm sure glad that she has a good imagination! We should probably invest in a play kitchen for her!
We have been helping Grandpa Jensen weed the garden and I always take Sky with me. The first time we went her Grandma Storey was always telling her to not step on the green, only the brown. Now every time we go she tells us to not step on the green only the brown and that we have to be careful! At times when you are weeding you are required to bend over or even sit down, every time someone sat down Sky would yell "Are you OK Grandma?, Are you OK?" We'll answer yes and she'd say OK. Yesterday the sprinklers came on in the back yard and we all got stuck in the garden for a little while and Sky was very upset about that. She looked at her Grandma Storey and said "It's raining cats and dogs!" Haha, she must have heard me say that the other day, I can't believe how little kids pick things up when you don't even realize they are listening. She has also been talking about birthdays! She will tell Karson and I happy birthday all the time, we tried to explain to her that its not our birthdays but it doesn't matter. When we were in the garden she was telling Grandma that we are going to have a birthday party with cake and ice cream. Where she comes up with that I have no idea! LOL, KIDS!
We went to the big pool and she loves the big slide! Of course she has to go with me but we probably went a good 10 times or more! I really want to take her to a water slide park! She loves to swim. We have a 10 foot by 6 foot pool in our back yard and she loves to go in it!
Sky has been very good with her little brother! She loves him so much and is very good to look out for him and watch him while I'm out of the room. Today I hear "Arween, Arween he spit up! He spit up!" Yes at times she calls us by our first names! Its the funniest thing! She loves to sing to Kash. She will sing the ABCs, Monkey in a tree, and Twinkle Twinkle. Her ABCs are the best however, at the end, instead of singing now I know my ABCs, she sings "no more ABCs", it's so cute! Its so amazing to see the connection my kids have already! Kash will smile at Sky whenever he sees her, it's so precious to see.
Still no luck with potty training or getting her to sleep in her own bed but we are working on that! Its a lot more challenging then I ever thought! At least we know what not to do with Kash! He is sleeping in his crib anywhere from 8-10 PM to 8-9 AM without waking up! I'm lucky to have kids that like to sleep, makes this Mommy very happy when she gets to sleep in!
Kash is the cutest little boy ever! I can't get enough of him. He is getting so big, so fast. I can't believe he's almost 4 months in a couple of weeks! He's changing every day! He loves to talk and smile, he has the biggest toothless smile ever! He got blessed last Sunday and it went great! It was fun to have the family to our house for the occasion! One thing with Kash that I can't quite figure out how to handle or fix is that whenever I leave the house and he is with Karson, he screams for hours! Any one reading this have any pointers? Please help! I work 3 days a week and lately they are in a row and I feel so bad for Karson! Yesterday we went to garden as you read earlier and I left Kash with Kars, he screamed the entire time I was gone. I get home and he's fine! He can't have separation anxiety this little can he? Other than that he's a really good baby and I couldn't be a luckier Mom to have the kids I do!
I don't think I have blogged this picture but I can't believe how much alike Kash looks like Karson. Kash is on the Left and Karson is the Right, both 2 months old!
