My sidekicks. These two are always with me. Colt is growing up so fast and loves being included in the older kids stuff now including a later bed time. But during the day he is happy to be the big kid with his little sister. He does pick on her a lot but when others come around he is protective and watchful of her. At the park one day a while ago a little boy was roaring like a dinosaur at Ellie. Colt went over and told him "You don't do that to my sister dinosaur!"
When Ellie wakes up in the morning or from her nap the first thing she does is say "Toltie? Toltie?" She is always looking for Colt!
When Ellie was crying I said I don't know what she wants and Colt didn't miss a beat and said "she wants me to hold her." And went and did it. So cute together when they are not hurting each other.
Colt has turned into my helper and Ellie is quite the handful. She is so busy and fast and always into something. Dog food, sink, toilet, climbing, falling, water, markers, dishwasher, and anything else she can reach!
Colt was eating a banana the other day and this is what it reminded him of...."You know grandpa, not grandpa at grandmas house but big grandpa at grammy's house, he eats cereal with banana and shares his banana with me. He is a good boy, he talks to me everyday." I love how they think at this age and how they use the words they have to express what they are thinking, it is just adorable.
Every night during scriptures he raises his hand and asks the same question, "did they have beds?" He just wants a turn to talk! Now the girls don't even let him ask, when they see his hand up they just say, "yes they had beds Colt."
I love how Colt looks so in charge here, like he's got it all taken care of and she would follow him anywhere!
