Lets Faith It

spending time with the kids is so special. we went swimming together for a couple of hours on saturday. the pool was nice and warm. lots of fun things for the kids to do and begin testing their swimming abilities. there was a slide for little kids and lots of shallow water to build confidence in Mckay and Saydi. By the time it was time to go Mckay was jumping in the water and pushing himself back up from the floor. He was pretty daring. Saydi still hesitates to think she will ever want to put her head under water, but she enjoys dancing and playing in the water immensely. She also had fun spotting Chandler wherever he was. He was always trying to sneak up on her and catch her leg or something. Chandler was all over the pool. Mostly going down the slide for big people. Greg made hot carob milk for us when we got home. And toast. yummy. After swimming Saydi and I played a game of life. It was funny to hear her say she felt guilty for winning me. Oh boy. She is learning mommy rules too young haha.

Today we went to church. Saydi had her baptism interview. I came in with her. She is pretty excited for her big day. It is Saturday. She has been teaching herself to play piano. Today she was goofing around trying to play the song that I am going to play for the relief society christmas program. She played the first part with a recording I had made of the second player part. she was doing an excellent job. she has a photographic memory for sight and sound. Then she asked me to play the left hand parts of songs she chose from the primary children's songbook. She did fantastic. She just picked out the melodies as she went along. She doesn't read music yet. We played several songs like that. Since we have the piano in the living room now all 3 kids have started using it more. Even Mckay sits up there and makes up his own songs and records them. Chandler has mastered chopsticks and part of the entertainer. He seems to like playing the piano alot. He is sounding great on his trumpet. His Christmas concert is on Wednesday. Mckay is really doing alot of cute things for a little girl in his kindergarten class. Right now he is writing her a note asking her if she likes garlic powder. Ha ha ha. It is because he wants to share a pizza he made tonight cause he told us that Maddie likes the same things he does......maybe he just wanted to be sure. hehehe He has been busy all day long making things for her. A puzzle that he drew and cut out and he lost it so now he is writing her a note to apologize that he can't bring it and that he will try to find it. this is tons of fun.
