I think having 2 kids gives you the right to go to bed early on New Year’s Eve…although we were laying awake in bed listening to the fireworks at midnight, so I guess you can say we made it to the new year. Over dinner that night I asked Gress if he wanted to learn anything new this next year and he said:
“I want to learn how to count, I want to learn my letters, I want to learn what day it is.”
I then asked him if he wanted to do anything fun this next year and he said,
“I want to have a sleep over with my buddy and I want to visit Sam Lu and the pandas.”
And then I asked him what he wanted to teach his brother this next year and he said,
“I want to teach him to talk like me…like this. I want to teach him to say who who like an owl, and I want to teach him to run, jump, climb trees, do handstands, 4 wheels, I mean kartwheels, and to hang on a tree like a monkey.”
Lastly, I asked Gress what he wanted Got to teach him this year and he said,
” I want God to teach me how to climb bigger trees.”
I am guessing we will be outside a lot this next year trying to accomplish some of these tasks!
