Blankets, Books, Stickers & Friends

McKay is very interested in stickers these days. I was pulling stickers off some new shirts we bought for him so I could wash them and he wanted to put them on his shirt. This one stayed on for quite a while so I had McKay 'pose' for me so I could take his picture. Good pose buddy!

This made me laugh when I saw what he was doing. He saw my blanket on the floor in my room and dragged it into the livingroom. He pulled himself up on the couch to read books. The books on the right are what he is going to read. Once he reads them, they go on the left, just like when we read books together. During the winter when I was cold after eating breakfast or I was sick and wanted the blanket, I'd put it over us while we read books. It has been months since we have done that! I am constantly amazed at what McKay remembers. Bytheway, he read all those books to himself. :)

Here he is reading one of his favorite books, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with babies doing the signs. I think we have checked it out from the library atleast half a dozen times.

Ducky, Bear & Sheep
(in order of preference, of course)
the lucky stuffed friends McKay loves

I came out of the bathroom one morning and I could hear McKay in his room. Usually he comes and says 'hi' when I come out but this time he didn't. Eventually he did come see me and wanted me to go see what he was doing. He had pulled his blanket out from under his crib and was sitting on the banana chair, another thing we used to do when it was cold!

I like the last 4 words of this post "when it was cold". It STILL IS cold!!! At least in Cache Valley anyways. But ya'll on the west coast wouldn't know anything about the cold would you?! Just teasing you, I'm just full of jealousy is all.
I can't believe McKay "read" all those books. He really does love books - good for him.

It is fun to have kids so close in age! Kindsey has a favorite baby doll (out of her two dolls) and rarely lets her brothers hold her.
Lately Kindsey will ask me to read her a book and then as soon as I start, she'll say, "my turn" and take the book from me.
Such a fun age!

When Myah was down with her broken femur, mom brought her a little notebook and some packages of stickers to keep her entertained. It kept her happy for days and days. Fun stuff!
