Growing up is hard to do

Jasmine has always been our little helper. We are trying to find something for her to do that is just for her! In trying to do so I think we've found her another situation to help! She brought home her paperwork last night as a mini cloverbud (not a rosebud like we thought.) She is very excited to start 4H! Her primary function at the shows she cannot participate in will be to help the other girls by grooming, cleaning stalls and holding horses. It may not sound too exciting but she couldn't be more excited to have time with her Papa and the horses!

Uncle Jake has come home and is teaching Hailey how to be responsible! She came to me yesterday with a list of reasons that she should have a cell phone. She also had ideas of what she could do to earn the money to pay the bill and consequences for not completing her work. I was shocked to say the least. Paul and I were already discussing getting her a cell phone for her birthday but she may be getting it sooner thanks to her well thought out presentation!

Preslyn learned how to roll over on 6/12! She's now rolling over like a pro! She gets very frustrated when she gets over and tries to eat whatever is under her. Her new found hobby of rolling over is making her a bit cranky. She starts to roll the second you put her down no matter where she's at. Rolling over in the swing is not working out too well!

Layla has entered the "leave me lone" stage. She wants to do everything herself. Finally after having to deal with this stage with my third toddler I have learned to start getting her ready first. I'm not going to fight it and just try to help her along when she needs it. She spent a day in inside out and backwards Dora panties because she wanted me to go away. I'm also no longer allowed in the bathroom unless she asks. So she has her little stool in there so she can get on the potty and she's actually doing quite well!
