Busy Bees


I just had to capture this moment, the kids were busily cleaning their bathroom. This is such a lovely sight to a mother. Dallin is now in training to do laundry too, and is quite excited about it. He has asked me each day for a lesson...hurray! He has also become a great little food preparer, he can make a couple of different salads and he can cut fruit and veggies with a sharp knife!
This week Dallin scored his first goal in a game! He was so proud of himself (and so were we). He has picked up the game and improved so much in just a few short months.

Hailey is proud to be reading chapter books now, and also to be learning to read music and play the violin. She takes a lot of pride in her school work and it seems to be very easy for her.

It is so fun to watch my kids confidence grow as they master new skills and become more and more independant.

I'm so grateful to be a mother and to watch these little people grow and learn and develope. They are so amazing and I love them so much!

3 want to talk about it:

I love, love, love it that your kids are cleaning the bathroom!!! I must admit, I love that my children love to do things such as laundry, raking leaves, gardening. Picking up toys is a whole other story though!!!

My kids have really been helping more and more also. It's so nice once the oldest can do so much and the others follow suit!

That sounds like Dallin, all amazing and responsible and what-not! He'll be the best little husband! I love hearing about you're kids triumphs! Can't wait to see them again!
