How do siblings turn out to be so different from each other?
Olivia has always been so good at sitting at the table, entertaining herself for hours with crafts, coloring, etc.
Carter doesn't really self entertain. He's such a sweetie though! Yesterday was his first dental visit. He was such a pro! Good thing because he has to go back next week and get a filling. (I promise that I brush and floss those teeth daily.)
For our Family Home Evening a few weeks ago, Olivia gave the lesson. Not really gospel oriented, but it was her lesson. Something to do with our five senses. We each had a card with a picture of either an ear, eye, finger, nose or mouth on it. Carter had the "eye" card. Olivia then asked him, "What do we use our eyes for?" Carter's response was, "for rolling." (sounds more like "rowing")
After family scripture study earlier this week, Aaron & Carter had a cute conversation.
Aaron: "Do you know who Jesus is?"
Carter: "The Lord" (sounds more like "ward").
Aaron: "How did you know that? Did you learn that in Primary or did Mommy & Daddy teach you that?"
Carter: "No."
Aaron: "Do you just remember living with the Lord?"
Carter: "mm, hmm."
Aaron: "What was that like?"
Carter: "Like eating cookies."
Yesterday morning was so great! After trying to hunt down an affordable dentist that is good with kids and let's me (the MOMMY) come back to the exam room with them for awhile now, my hunt is over. Dr. Connie even made these balloon animals for Carter and Olivia after their exams were finished. How awesome is that?
--Has anyone else been watching The Middle on ABC? So funny!

I am crying right now from laughing so hard. Those are the best conversations ever. Haven't watched the Middle yet, but I put it on record.
Very cute conversations. That sounds like an awesome dentist. I can't believe he makes balloon animals, awesome.
Carter is one smart boy! I don't know what you use your eyes for, but I use mine for rolling... ;)
Sounds like you hit the jackpot with your kids' dentist. Your persistence has paid off!
You have such a cute family. I love watching your blog and seeing how much fun your family has together. Isn't it just great being a Mom!!!
Yes!! I hope its like chocolate chip cookies. Your kids are so adorable. I am still laughing!
Poor middle children, I was one of them. Actually it's strange but each child molds to his/her place in the family well. I know you brush there teeth religously, I can just picture it-I remember your routines-I used to be your roommate!!!
