Reading & walking
I am most definitely aware of my many weaknesses as a Mom. I must say I'm not very good at structured learning time, we do it sometimes but I'm just not very good at it or consistent with it. On a positive note I'm really good at reading to my kids, doing puzzles & just playing-- cars, blocks, pretend etc.
Hyrum knows all the sounds (mostly) of the letters, can recognize them & write them all. So a couple of days ago I realized he could probably be reading a little bit but he isn't because I just haven't taken the time to do that with him. So yesterday we sat down & he read like 40 words!!! A lot of the hat, bat, bag, fox, up, if words. I have to say it was one of the coolest things to watch him make the sounds & then when he realized what it actually said his face would light up & he would get so excited. I am a book worm myself (sadly, not enough of late) so it did my heart a lot of good to see how much he enjoyed it. I hope the excitement lasts!!!
Seems like everyday Justin is walking steadier & farther. He finally let me get a video of him walking. It must be hard to perform when you have all this paparazzi following you around!
And here is one of Emma doing her blabber blabber thing
And here is my Bug. He's been telling me I'm a silly mommy a lot lately & I like it.

They are all learning such fun stuff! When Sophie started reading her first words, it was such a joyful day! Totally worth all of the not as fun moments of being a mom.
Megan, you're a great Mom. Your children are happy, secure, and they're learning the gospel- what could be better than that?!!
