1. Ben saying, "Hello, I Ben" at the top of his voice to everyone that we meet! Too cute.
2. Cailey reading out loud every night and reading everything she comes across
3. Ben saying, "Thank you" ~ using it the correct way and every chance he gets!
4. Hugs and kisses
5. Cailey taking a shower every morning without being asked!
6. Wrestling with Cailey and Ben on the floor. Ben has perfected the "body slam" and is getting big enough for it to work :o) :o)
7. Ben loving his bed ~ he loves it so much that he has no problem going to bed and staying in bed. He is still in a crib and we are in NO hurry to move him into a toddler bed.
8. Watching Cailey dance.
9. Not rushing through each stage of development with Ben. I have noticed it with so many of my friends. The first child gives them so much pride and joy (as they should) but they are in such a rush to experience the next phase or the next development stage ~ moving into a "big" bed, potty training, eating solid foods, walking, talking, etc. ~ even though it's said a zillion times, they don't realize how fast their kids will grow up and how much they will miss when they were little. I know we did the same thing with Cailey ~ but, we are learning with Cailey to relax more with her, too. It's incredibly liberating to relax and let your children just be little for awhile ~ they will grow up so fast and we should just enjoy where they are right now. It's an awesome feeling and I recommend it to everyone :o)
10. Hugs and kisses from Cailey and Ben ~ I'll take them any chance I get! :o)
11. Ben saying, "Good morning, Mommy!" or "Good morning, Daddy!" or "Good morning, Cailey!"
