    Benji had to write a Thanksgiving poem for school. I thought it turned out great. His peers also told him it was good. He carried it around in his pocket and read it to all of our friends and family over the next week πŸ™‚

    Millie hasn’t figured out that you should say “I” when referring to yourself. She always says “my”. My like you. My need more milk. My want to go with you.

    Tiago got a bad cut from getting his finger cut in the door. He shows me his finger every day and tries to say Ouch but with a cute SH sound on the end: Oushh. He also would wake up from naps or in the mornings and mess with the band aid. I found it on the wrong finger a few times.

    I want you = hold me. (I hear this phrase multiple times a day from multiple children).

    About 6 am every morning: Millie has found her way to my bed and I pull her in to warm her up for 30 more minutes until my alarm goes off. Ray is often on the floor by my bed covering up with one of my sweatshirts. Β And every once in a while Tiago screams loud enough in the night to have me come get him and snuggle him in bed. I guess we are due for some sleep training πŸ™‚

    When Millie wants a sippy and I am not responding fast enough she will just go to the fridge and bring me the gallon of milk and a sippy cup. Makes me laugh every time. She is a DO-er.

    Do you like the rolls? Ray – I love them! BUt I don’t want to marry them!

    Whenever Tiago eats a sucker he tries to do Cheers with anyone else that is eating! cuteness

    Rose singing about the Temple: I’ll repair myself while I am young, this is my secret duty. πŸ™‚

    Millie always pronounces a few names in such a funny way. She is such a good talker and easy to understand but she adds a T to the end of Erica and calls her Eri-cut. Then she always calls Diego – Eggo πŸ™‚

    Millie is almost potty trained! Like officially 100% potty trained except at night.
