My Rae bunches

It is so much fun to see how much Rae learns every single day. She is getting to be so creative and it's so fun to see the projects she comes up with! She is constantly making crafts. She'll ask me to staple together some paper and she'll write a book about something. Today it was a book all about the ways that Isaac is silly. She loves to make signs for the wall. The most recent ones were "Welcome to the play day" and "Toy Store ---->" pointing to her room. She is a little sponge lately. She tells us so many details from primary and she adores her new teacher. She also tells us all about commercials she sees on TV. She saw some OxyClean in Walmart the other day and said "hey, I've seen that commercial". She was showing me a commercial today for some toy that she wants (some kind of clay or something) and she said "mommy, Blaise and I won't make a mess with it because it is 'mess free'!). She just totally cracks me up! Of course, she has her annoying times too. :) She talks nonstop, even when she needs to STOP and is getting frustrated with Blaise a lot lately. But she is still adorable and is a terrific helper. The other day Isaac woke up from his nap in a really good mood, so I left him in his bassinet and was putting away laundry. Rae came in the room and said "I'll take care of Isaac while you finish that". So she entertained him for a while. While putting away the laundry I found a dollar bill, so I gave it to Rae and said "here, this is for babysitting". She just looked at me with a look of shock on her face and said "but I don't want to be done yet". I don't know what I would do without her. She is constantly helping Blaise and entertaining him. She even tried to change his diaper the other day, but his legs were too heavy for her and she couldn't get him to lift his bum to get the clean diaper on. I just love love love this girl and the fun she brings to our family!!

This is a picture of her "playing" a game called Farkle. Roy and I play it often. One day she found our score sheet, so she asked how to play it. All we could really explain was that ones and fives were good to get, so now she plays it and tries to get ones and fives and she made her own little scorecard.

And this one is Rae getting what she deserves :)

I've updated the Farkle link to the particular version that we play.

Ahhhh, so much fun. It is wonderful to see her growing and learning and showing her personality. You are doing a great job Ashley (and Roy)!

What a cute girl! She reminds me of Nolan ;)... which some may say "OH NO!" but it is a good thing!
She is so smart for her age!
