Some photos and Eisley crawling

Kaybree makes sure everyone gets something to eat at the tea party.

We went to an event where Jamba was giving away free smoothies. I thought for fun I'd let Eisley try some of mine. You had never used a straw before but you figured it out real quick and refused to give my smoothie back!

You two have more Suns gear than I do. Grandma buys you any Suns outfits they sell so you're always ready for game day!

Sometimes you just lay on your back and lift your hips and push to get around. Anytime you reach your destination--which is usually a toy, you flip onto your back to enjoy it.

Eisley, you have finally decided to crawl. But it's not a full-on crawl yet. It's a hardcore army crawl, really. You put both hands together in front of you and then pull yourself forward. You're getting very good at it. You can get across the room very quickly--but you're exhausted when you get there. The entire way you're panting with excitement.
We've had to pick up the dogs bowls more often because that's always your first destination. You want to eat their food and play in the water. Whenever we see you heading that way we yell at you to stop and you turn and give this big grin. It's so funny!

Funny quotes

Kaybree: Yesterday I went to the farm with Amy and Tess and we saw baby goats! Me: Cool! Kaybree: Yeah, they were so cute. For Christmas, will you get me two baby goats? Me: Haha, no. Kaybree: Amy said you would! We love Vertuccio farms. We always get a season pass. You're not allowed to go with Amy anymore. We traded in all of your Halloween candy for some cash and went to Target and bought Shopkins. It was awesome! Apparently all the Shopkins have names so we sat around looking at all the Shopkins and looking up their names. This particular group fit a sports theme and came with a locker to keep them in. The locker has a face but it's not an actual Shopkins so it does not have a name. I told you this and you said "Why didn't Jesus give him a name?!" I laughed for a long time. Added Nov. 16: I felt bad originally posting this because I didn't have any quotes from Eisley. It's not that you're not funny too, you just usually make...

The cycle

I'm stuck with this constant decision: Give a punishment even though I know it won't work or ignore the problem completely even though I know the result will not be good. It's always about school. For whatever reason you seem to give up when it comes to school. When asked, you are fully committed. But when a challenge comes up, like a teacher you don't quite connect with, you give up. You decide to sleep instead of work. You know it's a mistake. You know you have already failed enough classes to require you to take an additional year of high school (at least). And yet, any time I offer assistance you act like I have no trust in you and you push me away. I don't have any trust when it comes to your school work. You haven't earned it. But I still have hope. I believe you have the capacity. I believe if you apply yourself you could go far. But you don't. And I can't make you. Yesterday you were sent home from school for sleeping in class and giving a...
