Learning

In our house have tendencies towards obsessions 
(mom gets them too and can't turn her brain off)
We noticed that they are usually linked to 
excitement about new things we are learning

 Packer got a telescope for Christmas and it has sparked a fire in Donny.
They are loving looking at the heavens and reading books on the topic.
 Hunter and Packer love numbers and calculators.
He and Packer love to quiz mom on her multiplication facts.

Benson is learning to sleep.  Mom is obsessed with training this boy.
He's put up a bigger fight than the rest getting into her "baby wise" program.
We are perfecting the "Donny Dance."

Holland is learning to go potty in the toilet.
She had a terrible diaper rash -seemed to really motivate her.
Myriam is her best trainer- 
she takes her every two hours and gives her candy if she goes.

Sadie and Myriam have learned the duet- "Heart and Soul"
from their aunt Haley at uncle Levi's birthday party.
They can't stop playing it- nor get to practicing their real piano lessons!
