Finally Fall

Summer is gone, it is finally Fall. I must say that I am really grateful that I am due in December with this baby and not August or September. I don't know how Mom had 3 August babies. But I am down to 10 weeks. All this time it has sounded so far away, you know how it seems like December will never come, but it really isn't that long now. Everything has been going really well. This baby is sitting differently than William and Caitlyn did. William and Caitlyn were both really up and forward. This baby is more in, so I actually don't look as big. Unfortunately she is also staying lower so she spend way more time on my bladder. I know that you all wanted to know that detail. William is really excited about the baby, he had to come to grips with having another sister, and is convinced that we should name her William. Caitlyn really doesn't get it but does whatever William does so when William is talking to the baby she does too.

William loves being four. He is constantly talking about when he was three but now he is four so things are different. He was very excited to get his own library card last week, once they can write their own name they can get a card. He is working on taking turns, the worst is Primary and Sharing Time. He just loves to help and struggles with knowing others need a turn too. He is one of the few Sunbeams that will actually talk into the microphone and continues to amaze the Primary with his reading abilities. Of course he amazed the missionaries by reading their name tags and was a little sad that he didn't have one. He experienced going to the dentist right before his birthday and loved it. I know, it is a little weird. He even had to go back and get a tooth fixed and he couldn't wait to go. He had his checkup the day after his birthday and he is as healthy as ever. He loves showing off for someone new. Caitlyn was a little freaked out because she thought that the doctor was going to look at her. William did really well with his shots too. I'm excited that I don't have to take him back for kindergarten shots.

Caitlyn is almost two, and she acts like it. She is very sure of herself, and she knows that everyone loves her. One of her favorite things to do is go to Daddy's work. In fact everyday she will come out of nap time, inform me that she is awake, and then ask to go to Daddy's work. When she is told not today she asks why. I don't remember if William went through a period of why asking after everything, I'm sure he did, but I think Caitlyn does it more. She informed me Sunday that she was a pretty princess after she put on her dress. Monday I asked her if she was a pretty princess and she said no. I asked if she was my beautiful girl and she said yes. So I guess it depends on the outfit.

Brandon is still enjoying work. At least that is what he tells me. For some reason he is not willing to let me work for him for a short time every night while he does bedtime. Go figure. He has a new calling as a Sunday school teacher. I think that he teaches all of the youth. Of course, we don't have many. He keeps me sane, and is pretty good about the fact that when I am tired of the crying and temper tantrums I make the kids call Daddy at work. He is a prince.
