...when I ask Keira if she has "stinkys", she'll run to the diapers and bring me one.
...that it's July and it's cooler then it was in June.
...the kids are fascinated with the garden growing in the backyard.
...to listen to Ben play with his cars or "guys" and make up some continual story.
(a trait he learned from his sister Emma)
...watch Emma learn to pronounce her letters properly and eagerly apply it to sounding out words.
...when I tell Keira it's "milk time", she'll crawl upstairs, find her red blanket and stand next to her bed.
...that Sydney is dead set on not letting anyone near her extremely loose tooth because it might "hurt".
...after a few weeks into the summer each of the kids can either swim or have enough floating gear that I can have a break.
...that Keira doesn't cry when she's awake in her bed. She'll just hang out until you come find her.
...in just a few short months 2 of my kids will be enjoying school.
...that Daddy has such a great job, in which he can spend time with his family.
...it when people say I look a lot skinnier with this pregnancy, even though I know they are all lying.
...when Ben looks at my stomach he thinks that my belly button is his brothers belly button.
...I can put Sydney & Ben in a shower and Emma & Keira in a bath and then do nothing because the big girls wash the little kids.
...every week I teach the kids another chore to do around the house, thus making my "to do" list much shorter.
...that exactly a year ago we were stressing about finding a car to fit our family and now that car is full, again.
...Larry likes to cook. And is also good at it.
...despite the growing family, we can still fit in our house.
...Emma teases Sydney, Ben teases Emma & Sydney and Keira teases everyone.
...my kids think cereal for dinner is ok and that scrabbled eggs and toast for lunch is perfectly normal.
...that I have 12 days left of being swollen, poked in the ribs, heart burn, no blood flow, cramping stomach muscles, and peeing 2T every 30 mins.
...I was right. This pregnancy is going to move just like the last. At technically 1 month from exact due date I'm dilated to a 1 and 50% effaced. I knew planning for a 2 wk early due date was necessary!!
