Headlines from last week:
- Kiley attended a little nature camp here in town.  She seemed to enjoy it, but I think she was glad when the four days were done.
- We went swimming!
- We went to Boston on Saturday as a family.  Stopped by the temple, had lunch, and a terrific time at the Boston Children's Museum.

What I learned about you (Kiley) last week: You are getting more brave with what you tackle physically.  You're jumping from higher platforms, climbing more ambitiously, and jumping in the water more to get better at swimming.  I think your mom's nerves hold you back more than your own spirit.

56

What I learned about Kiley this week:  Mosquitos really like her.  To the tune of 56 mosquito bites from our evening watching fireworks.  I did not win the "good mom" award that day.

Project Pinkification Complete


Baby is getting bigger, busier.  This pregnancy is proving to be more difficult for me.  15 weeks to go.

What I learned about Kiley this week: You can be very hard on yourself.  Sometimes you pretend sad things just so you can pout, stomp, and hide away in your room (i.e. your ~imaginary~ brother stole your teddy bear from you).  I don't always understand the sadness, but I still love you.

She Swims! (Well... She's Learning...)

Kiley started swimming lessons this past week.  She's doing really well.  Most nights, she goes with Kullen because he can do so much more in the water with her! 

What I learned about you (Kiley) this week: You love to sing.  As of late, you love to make up songs.  There have been many.  And the best thing is they can go on and on and on.  It's so much fun to listen to.  Off the top of my head, I remember one about pirates stealing your clothes, and one about 4 being the best age of all.  Keep singing!
