West Saguaro National Park Wasson Peak Hike

Yesterday we hiked the Wasson Peak at West Saguaro National Park. It is about 7.4 miles both ways, Enoch and Michael hiked all by themselves!! So proud! Peter did great too, walked half way up and two thirds of way down. Mom carried Peter with a baby backpack carrier. 

Rocket

Peter said he made this by himself

Soccer

All year Peter didn't do much in soccer. He cried every game and sat on the sidelines for the most part, refusing to even stand on the field for most of practice and especially games. The second to last game of the season, at the end of the 1st half he stood up from my lap on the sideline, ran unto the field, got the ball at half field, dribbled it down the field, and scored a goal. He then sat down with me and refused to play the rest of the game.

Still his fav

Still Peter's favorite sleeping style at 3.5 years old!😆

Santa

Heard Enoch educating Michael and Peter: If Santa is magical, then ghosts and zombies are real!" Not sure what to say to that. Hmmm.. Sam said it might be Enoch's last year believing in Santa😥

Santa Clause

The doorbell rang just now, Peter said "Yay! Santa Claus!" That's how delightful he is (when he is happy of course)! Definitely brightens my day! A picture of his favorite sleeping style.😁

So cute

Peter is good at making his own bed and fall asleep

Standing by mommy's bed

Yesterday morning while I was still sleeping in bed Peter came to our room and stood in between my bed and the nightstand. He stood there for than an hour. He kept telling me that he was done sleeping but often put his head on my pillow or bed to rest..  it was sweet and silly. Melted my heart that he wanted to be with me so much! I kept asking him if he wanted to read a book or play with toys but nothing seemed to work to get him to leave. Eventually I told him that he should go lie down on the sofa and make a bed for himself, and that worked.

First Day of School!

Today is the first day of kindergarten for Michael and the first day of first grade for Enoch. It's an emotional day for Peter to be the one left out😖

Peter got to eat his lunch pack at 8:30 this morning 😂

Learning stuff

It's always great to see how proud of himself Peter is when he learns new things, like putting on his pants by himself or peeing in the big potty.

I also love the way Peter runs, with his arms flying forwards and backwards, and his cute little hands flapping around behind his back

Sleep

The baby that sleeps everywhere and through everything😂

Reading together

Its so cute to see them climbing up the empty top bunk to read together! Brothers who read together stay together!😀

Cute little one

I was taking Michael's pics for a submarine that he built, and Peter wanted me to take a pic of his Magnetic fish that he built. How cute!

Reading to Peter

Caught Michael reading chicka chicka boom boom book to Peter while Peter is sitting on his potty!! Its so sweet! These moments are the ones that I just cant keep to myself!!! And it makes breaking up a fight every few mins not so bad after all 😉

Potty Training

We started Peter on potty training today. Michael also got a potty training sticker chart because he has trouble keeping dry. Hopefully potty training Peter will motivate Michael to stay dry!

Peter is good at making his own bed

The first picture was when I fell asleep on the couch and Peter made himself a bath next to the couch to make sure that he stays close to me. The second picture was when Daddy and I we're putting their bunk beds together he put himself to bed. It's so cute

Kinder Round up

We went to that kindergarten roundup at mesquite elementary school yesterday. Michael was able to ride school bus and sing wheels on the bus song with the kindergarten teachers there. He was really excited about it! We also stayed afterwards to eat lunch with Enoch at school and I realized that I have not eaten lunch with Enoch at school yet so it was really fun to do that. We will have a first grader and a kindergartner next year;)

Grasshoppers

Peter carries these grasshoppers around everywhere. Found them on my bed tonight. He was probably wondering all day where he put them.

My penis isn't dirty

Mom was saying how we should give the kids a bath tonight... Peter said "没有我的阴茎不脏"

Now we know what Peter thinks the point of showering is

Michael cut up Peters shirt

This afternoon I found Peter's shirt was cut up, and Michael told me that Peter wanted him to cut it up...

FW:

Mom bought Peter this shirt for Christmas last year. Today Peter told Michael to cut it up... and Michael did what he said😬😁

the twinkle in your eyes

Peter, right now you are at an age where you have a sparkle in your life for everything. After dinner I got a pack of almond joys out that you boys all helped mom pick out to give me for Christmas. There are 5 of them and you were so excited to count them all, one by one, in Chinese. You did this over and over again. You happily told me I could keep on eating all of them, and I was so tickled by it that I ate 4 in a row. Each time you would recount. I explained to you and Michael that an almond joy has coconut and almond in it, and your eyes lit up and you kept talking about coconut.

After dinner I helped you change into your pajamas and you were so excited to show me that you had a vague idea of how to put on your pants. You didn't do the shirt right but you looked at me with such a twinkle in your eyes.

I don't know what kind of person you will grow up to be, but right now you are adorable. I love you
