Quick Update

Troy doesn't usually sleep in the car anymore. I'm kind of reminiscing. He is too entertained by Liam and therefore stays awake, and if Liam tries to sleep, Troy makes sure that doesn't happen for long. I'm ready to put Liam's carseat by the window, rather than the middle.

Troy also likes to jump in Liam's crib. Even if he is in it, napping. Blah. Crazy 2 year old moments. But we are having so much fun together lately. He has been having "school" time in the mornings. I can't believe how much he has learned! Even if he could learn these things later, it is really rewarding to me and keeps us happy. I have been following confessionsofahomeschooler.blogspot.com. I got the idea off of my cousin, Stephanie's, blog. I don't do a lot of the activities yet, because Troys isn't old enough. But he knows a bunch of his letters, how to count to 5. He has started to memorize the books we have been reading. I LOVE the library. I check out cds that have nursery rhymes and we have music time.

Mister Liam is officially 6 months tomorrow, so I will do more about him tomorrow. But, one new thing is that he won't do tummy time for too long because he rolls over each time I lay him on his stomach. He has been able to do it for a while, but has decided to do it every time now. He's a pretty big guy, so when he rolls onto his back he kind of makes a loud noise and it scares him. It's funny to watch. I don't have very many pictures lately because of the batteries. We keep meaning to buy rechargeable batteries, but we want a certain kind and havn't found them. Really, it's just not a priority to me obviously.

Ben has been happy with work, fatherly duties, and hanging with the Priests. He is still always helping someone. His grandparents, neighbors, ward members. I'm sure there is a lot more to report, but I really just focus on the time we get to spend with him. He is the center of my life and I just love spending all the time I can with him. Our boys would agree. We get to celebrate our 5 year anniversary next week and I can't believe it!

A couple things that I have been doing is starting to teach piano a little and playing the harp. I am creating a website for my harp playing and it's coming along. I'll post about it when I actually have it up. I am waiting for pictures to put on it. These are not things that I plan to put a ton of time into. A few hours a month. I don't want to take away from my full-time job as a mother. Just little side things that keep me involved with music and give me a small break from a two year old hitting my head while I try and blog (currently happening.)
