Hayden started sucking his thumb! We have never had a thumb-sucker in our family and now was not the time to start. So I would watch him for a minute and think how cute he was, then pull it out. He didn't like his binkie because his mouth was just to small for it. He would either gag or just couldn't keep it in. Luckily the thumb only lasted about a month and he grew into his binkie.
Hali had a science fair at school and was given the theme of Force and Motion. She was so excited to do this. She put a lot of time and effort into her project and did it mostly on her own.

Carter was invited to go play hockey one night with our neighbor. He has never been on skates, not even rollerskates! He was out on the ice for a few hours and fell A LOT! He yelled through the glass to me, "This is hard!!!" But he always jumped right back up and kept going. After all the warm-ups and drills, the boys played a game and he even scored a goal. He was pretty happy! I was impressed he stuck with it and didn't slow down. I would have thrown in the towel!
