Fall update

We are all doing well, but very busy, and therefore very tired!  Cooper is doing great at kindergarten.  He really likes school and comes home with new sounds and words that he can read everyday.  We're still getting used to the schedule and trying to build up his endurance.

Isabel is doing great.  She LOVES school and comes home singing almost a new song everyday.  Her teachers tell me how much more she's talking and exerting herself in class.  She's gaining a lot of confidence every day.  Even last night in the car she was talking so much that Cooper had to interrupt her...that was a first!

Emma is...well...Emma!  She is quite something.  She's so stinking cute, but so stinking stubborn too!  She WILL NOT repeat any words that we try to get her to say.  She's finally saying some animal sounds, but just doesn't want to talk.   I'm not concerned though, as her comprehension is very good.  She understands and will follow directions (well, most of the time)!  Even though she isn't speaking words, she sure can get her point across, as well as her frustration when things don't go her way!  She's already starting to randomly "bop" her siblings on the head, so trying to teach her some boundaries!  

Dance parties are still the almost daily activity of choice in our house.  Watch the video below!  And yes, "Dynamite" is still the song of choice!
