So different

The older you get the more your different personalities are coming out. It's so fun!

Kaybree has always wanted to be just like all the big girls she sees. You want to do what everyone else does and you fit right in! You go with the flow very well but you do your best to lead--while following. I know that doesn't make a ton of sense but basically you're the leader of the crowd. You follow everyone else but you don't let anyone step on you. You know you're the cutest thing around and you flaunt it a little bit. You pretend to be shy (because that's the cool thing to do) but you're excited to tell everyone all about your boo boos or the puppies you saw at the mall or anything else going on in your life.

This week you started preschool and you were so excited. As soon as we got there you followed Teagan right inside, waving and calling goodbye to me as you went. No hesitation. You know what to do and you do it. You're attending Montessori House in Lehi for preschool. It's a very cute school and we are SO grateful that we get it for free!


Some funny things you say:
Boobs/bras are hippos. I think you're thinking nipples sounds like hippos maybe. Hiccups are makeup so you tell me you got "makeups" today!
The other day we told you, as we usually do, that you had a choice of taking a nap or playing quietly in your room. You came to me and said "Mommy, you have two choices. You play with me or you take a nap." I chose the nap.


Eisley, you follow your own beat. You just naturally know what's funny and you do it. You don't really do it for anyone else. You love when people laugh with you but you'll laugh on your own if you have to. Now that you're FINALLY walking you're a little more adventurous. You still love to be held by me at home but outside you're off and running. You love animals and so if there's an animal near by you're right up in its face saying hi and patting it on the head. So cute!

You make me laugh all the time. You seem hesitant about most men and any time a man asks you a question the response is "No!" but if a woman asks you, you'll answer honestly. Your favorite people right now are me, Brittany (Beenee) and Amy (you say her name crystal clear!) Brittany may have us all beat. The other day she dropped you off to me at your doctor's appointment. We said good bye in the parking lot and we went inside. You got a shot at the check up so you were still upset as we walked out. As soon as we stepped outside you pointed to the parking lot and said "Beenee" all whimpery like all you wanted was to see Brittany. She loves how much you love her!

We finally went camping this summer! That was fun. We only went for one night and we didn't arrive until sunset so it was a VERY short trip but it was fun. We went with Melissa, Kyle and Brekken Couch. Eisley slept maybe an hour. You wanted to play ALLLLLLLL night. It was exhausting. And funny. Here are the photos:

My biggest challenge

I’m a writer by trade. I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I love to put my feelings into words. Yet, in the last month, I’ve been having a very difficult time vocalizing what’s happening in my life. It’s not because it’s been sad or difficult or anything like that. It’s mostly because there is someone new in my life who I care very deeply for who I feel this deep need to protect. I want to protect his identity, his story, his life. I don’t want to overstep any boundaries or crush any trust. I recognize the life he has lived has not been easy and so I tread lightly on this relationship we’ve built. But honestly—it’s a fantastic relationship. He’s an amazing kid. I’ve been asked to write a blog post for an organization that helps recruit foster parents about the first few weeks of being a foster parent. I’m having difficulty deciding what to write. I feel like anything I write about my case probably won’t apply to their case so it’s not very helpful. I keep writing drafts and then...

Careers

"So I've got a friend, who I met at Frys. He's an older guy. He's got a car he wants to give me and soon he's starting a business so when I'm 18 and a half or 19 I think I'm going to move out and move in with him and work for him." "Doing what?" "I don't really know but he's going to have this business." "OK. Well, good luck with that. Get it in writing and get a title for the car." I walked away just shaking my head. Silently I thought "At least he didn't tell me he's going to become a rapper. He might as well though... A couple hours later I talked with him again. "OK, so I've been texting him and finding out more about this job." "OK." "So he's going to be a rapper. And he says we'll find something for me to do, something I'm good at. Something that will make me $1,000 a day and I can probably start doing it from home--maybe finding new beats online....
