Best Buds

 

Can you even handle how cute they are?  I sure can't!

 

The picture above and below show their favorite way to watch TV.  On their tummies criss-crossing their legs.  They just play footsies the entire time.

These 2 are best friends.  They are also virtually the same size right now.  It's hilarious.  We decided to get Logan a booster seat since he does have about 3-4 pounds on Mara and she already has one!

 

This picture does their sizes justice.  It's awesome.  They wear the same size shoes, but Mara's legs are longer so she has bigger pants even though her waist is smaller than his.

I love these crazy animals of mine.

This is a conversation I had with Logan the other day:

Me: Logan, you can't just climb up on the counters and up the shelves.  You could fall down and get    really hurt!

Logan: Yeah, but I could fall off the couch too.

No joke, he is a crazy animal.  He also rolled his eyes at me for the first time while saying that.  Something he has picked up from his big sister.  Who undoubtedly picked that up from me.  Oops.  He is officially a Sunbeam now, but it's still up in the air whether or not he likes it.  He gets upset when we drop him off.  He went through random phases of that with nursery too.  I overhead him telling Mara that: "One day I will be big like Daddy, so I will go to class with him."  I think he'd just rather chill with Sean than anyone/anywhere else.  He is somewhat obsessed with Sean.  Which is freaking adorbs.  Everything he does is "what daddy does" or "what daddy eats" or "what daddy says".  His favorite time of day is when it's time to go wake daddy up.  Most days he absolutely refuses to let me go wake up Sean with him.  He says it's his job. 

Mara is really into reading stories to herself and lately her favorite stories to "read" are the scriptures.  It's amazing how much she remembers, and equally crazy are the stories she comes up with out of nowhere.  The other day she read a story like this: "Moses was our first prophet. He was a little boy once. He was nice. The End." 

She is super smart and is definitely ready for Kindergarten.  She got her shots like a champ.  Not one single tear.  She most definitely got that from Sean, not me.  We did learn that she needs her tonsils and adenoids out.  Apparently it's not normal for a 4 year old to snore like an old man, quit breathing at night, gag on her food, and have dragon breath 24/7.  Who knew?  We've known for a while that she probably needed it, but now that we've actually started the process I feel super guilty for waiting so long.  Sorry Rue!  One day when you are a poor college student and a parent, you'll understand.  I hope.  Don't worry, no need to call the authorities on us, if we were ever told at any point that she definitely needed it we would have made it happen.  It's just finally gotten to that point.  

Have I mentioned how responsible she is?  Most days she does her chores like a champ without complaint, and most days she is very willing to help Logan when I ask her to.  

I couldn't ask for 2 more adorable kiddos.
