Did You Know?

This week has been extremely uneventful except for the fact that all of us are sick with some kind of flu/strep/zombie (because that's what I feel like) virus.  And to add to that Skyler's getting in 4 (!!!!!) teeth.  Jackpot. 

Contrary to this picture, Skyler has finally learned how to eat with a fork.  He even fed himself spaghetti with one.  Very impressive, Little Handsome.

 Building a tower of..... cars?!  OK.

Playing Peek-A-Boo (yes I realize I need to clean off my island)

Since nothing has happened this week, I'm going to share a few things about us I bet a bunch of y'all don't know!!!!

SKYLER

• He was given the nickname "Ah-Ah" by his loving older sister.  She CAN pronounce Skyler but she chooses not to.  Now he's starting to call himself "Ah-Ah."
• Took 16 months to finally start sleeping through the night and he's still not perfect at it.  
• He can already count to 3 (because of the many times I do this as a threat to them each and every day!  Aren't I such a good educator????)

LILY

• May possibly start pre-school this summer as a continuation of her speech therapy.  We're not sure if we're going to do it or if she'll even need it at that point, but we KNOW she'd love it.  She loves all things social.
• She asks me every day if we can go to church.  When she says blessings on the food she often talks about each of the members of the family and then continues off into her ramblings about bunnies.  :)
• Has to draw in her notebook every single day.  She used to just draw bunnies and flowers and now she's drawing shoes and clothes.  She is DEFINITELY a girl.  :)

BEN

• Had a stroke when he was 3.  He was right handed before the stroke but since he lost control of that side of his body he underwent therapy and learned to become ambidextrous, which he still is.  
• Worked for the Water Department of Rexburg and did construction work to get us through college.  He also worked at a car shop in high school so if you need ANYTHING fixed, he can do it.  I've lost any of my doubts in him with his fix it/build it skills.  So if y'all need anything done you know who to call!!!  (P.S. We are planning the coolest wood project EVER for the kids!!!  Stay tuned!!!!!)

HEATHER

• Hated girls who got married after their freshman year until I became one of them.  :)
• I can't fall asleep unless my feet can rub blankets, Ben's feet, or each other.  This is how I've been since babyhood.
• I adore having a 6' 3'' husband because I can wear the tallest pumps possible.
• Also, velvet is the absolute worst tangible thing my skin can make contact with.  It's seriously gross.  I DESPISE the feeling of it.  Every now and then when Ben wants to pull a prank on me he'll grab one of Lily's velvet boleros and rubs it against me.  TRUE TORTURE.  

So was any of that new to you?  Or do you know us THAT well?
