Stone Age

Well, we finally have internet again. We were without internet at home for the month of November and felt like we were living in the stone age. We had to go to the library or to our parents' houses just to check our emails. It was awful.

During November Ady started attending preschool and she loves it. I am not sure if she is learning anything but she always looks forward to attending school. She is in her cousin Landon's class and I wonder if it wouldn't be cheaper and easier to just schedule play time with Landon twice a week because that is all she ever tells me that she does at school. Hopefully Ady will soon be able to count correctly to 20 or say the abc's correctly and then I will feel better about spending money to send her to preschool. Brock seems to really miss her when she is gone and gets so excited when she comes home. Brock has started going to nursery at church and hates it. He screams and cries as soon as he realizes where he is going. Kasey and I rotate who has to take him in and then pry ourselves away from his clutches while he cries and has the saddest look on his face. Today Ady gave her first talk in Primary. She did so good. She had the whole thing memorized and wasn't even a bit afraid of speaking at the pulpit.

Brock has started wanting to use the potty and now uses his toilet every morning when he gets up. This morning we awoke to some weird sounds coming out of the bathroom. After a quick investigation we found Brock and Ady in the bathroom with Brock sitting on the toilet. Ady informed us that she got Brock out of his crib and helped him get his diaper off so that he could use the potty. I looked at her and asked how she got him out of the crib and was told "Dad, I used a chair, then I picked him up. Don't worry, I didn't even drop him." Not sure what to think about this. Lately Brock has really wanted to have a book read to him. All the time. He is constantly bringing us books to read. This is a major development because a couple of months ago he wouldn't sit still for more than about 18 seconds at a time. And that was only if he was having a drink or taking a bite of some food. But now he loves to sit with you and read a book. Brock is also finally starting to say a few words. But never on command.
