hello there. just wanted to share some cute things that the kids were saying...but now i'm forgetting them. keira was saying that we should get married (like her and i), i tried to explain to her that only men and ladies should get married...and then she said like you and daddy? i said yep. she said, was i baby in your tummy? she always wants to know if she was part of something, somehow. for now, to keep it simple:) i told her that you have to be married first to get babies. (we'll take that one as it comes!) ian was at speech this week - he's doing better at imitating but the whole comprehension is sometimes questionable. cutest thing is that lately he's trying to say keira's name. it sounds like kaw...or kwa...but it is specific to her:) he is always singing. it is not unusual for him to be singing the b-i-b-l-e in the grocery store...quite loud. or anywhere. he definitely has been happier lately - really enjoying it! (i told the pediatrician that i think it's the biogaia drops...he said that it's because ian's adenoids were removed and that's why he hasn't had a single ear infection since his surgeries!!! yay:) i don't dare quit the biogaia drops though...just in case:) keira saw a child psychiatrist last week, we see him again next week. he's tentatively diagnosing her with severe insomnia...wow:) we'll leave that:) keira wants to skip from age 3 to 5. she knows she has to be 5 before she goes to the 'big school'. (with less than 200 students). right now she goes to preschool at the 'little school'. (which has around 1000 students). at swimming lessons and it seems everywhere else keira is generally outgoing and kind of hyper. her swimming instructors asked if she eats straight sugar. i didn't tell them that i try not to give her sugar at all...:) but then the teachers at preschool said she's the quietest kid in the class...are we talking about the same person? :) kevin is living 6 days a week in westlock - he's busy and things are going well enough...they need more staff...then maybe he won't be gone from 7amish to midnightish:) but all in good time!!! we are well here, thankful for so many things - hope this finds all of you well!!!
