Time for an update about Hannah!



So I haven't posted much about the kids lately.. actually.. I haven't done much posting at all. But because I need to do this for Journaling sake, and because both of the kids have done some funny things lately I thought I should get them on here.. and while I'm at it.. just do a whole post about them.

Hannah is now just 3 months away from being 4!! Wow! How time flies! She is SOOO helpful.. I just can't even believe it. Somedays I just have to sit back and laugh. There have probably been at least 5 times over the past month and a half or so that I will walk downstairs (on laundry day) and she has taken the clean clothes out of the dryer and taken them to the family room, changed the wet clothes from the washer to the dryer, has re-loaded the washer and is trying to figure out how to get the laundry soap off of the top shelf. She then insists on helping me fold the clothes that she loaded into the family room. She has folding down to a science. Its fun. She LOVES to sweep the kitchen floor, and she LOVES to help make dinner. She has been SOOO good about reminding us about family prayer, family night, and prayer over meals. She LOVES, LOVES Brady. He is pretty mean to her most days. Every time she makes him the slightest bit mad he bites, scratches, and pulls hair. He really is a bully. Jesse and I are always saying, push his hands away, tell him no, etc. Her reply one day was, "If I do that it will make him cry".. as she is in tears because he just bit her. She is ALWAYS SOOO concerned about him. At the end of dancing every week the teacher always gives the kids a treat. Each week.. almost faithfully, she asks he teacher for one for her Brady. She is always trying to help him, and is always so concerned about where he is and what he is doing. She is always reading him books and helping him learn what things are. She is trying to get him to learn all of his animal sounds.

She is LOVING preschool! She can count to 100 with a little help. She knows all the letters and sounds and can recognize all of them. She can write all of them too. .. which reminds me...

The other day she wanted to write Jesse a note and let him know that she helped me clean the house. This say's.. "Dad, I helped Mom clean the house." Funny Girl. All she needs me to do is tell her how to spell it and she does the rest. Notice her "E's" They have about 8 lines a piece. Silly girl. Its fun to watch her learn so much.
She LOVES dancing. She looks forward to going each week. They do tumbling, and dance. She is so excited to she me what she learned each week.
For some reason she is also into exercising lately. Probably because I am trying my hardest to do it every day.. I guess I should be careful what I say. She is funny. She say's.. "I want to get skinny like you Mom".... UMMMMM... don't think your mom is so skinny.. but whatever floats her boat. I REALLY don't want her to already start a body image thing.. so every time she wants to exercise.. which is about 10 times a day I really try to make it be about moving around and being silly.. getting fun exercise.. not because she needs to be skinny. The girl is a skinny little thing.
She LOVES primary!! She is in Sunbeams now.. and LOVES it!
She is still ALL about princesses. Belle is still her very fav.. but she loves them all.
She loves to watch "Franklin".. and Has really been into drawing and coloring. She has always loved to play the computer. She started playing nickjr.com when she was probably 2.. and has been able to find her way around the computer, turning on the games she wants and playing them herself ever since. Its kinda nice!
I think thats about it for her these days. She is definetly full of it.. and keeps us laughing every day! She is sure a joy and I just LOVE her!!
