- Wyatt and Lily are 3 years, 4 months, and 15 days old today (yes, I know it is weird that I figured that out).
- Their favorite activity: PUZZLES! We spend HOURS each day doing puzzles. The have graduated from the wooden "piece" puzzles to actual interlocking puzzles, both wooden and cardboard.
- Wyatt's favorite word: WEIRD. He says that anyone and everything is weird. Then both he and Lily laugh...cute, but getting old! :)
- Lily's favorite thing to wear: CINDERELLA DRESS. She was given this dress by a friend a few weeks ago. She asks to wear it almost every day and yesterday it was on almost the entire day.
- Their favorite movie: ALADDIN. This is not my favorite Disney movie, although I used to love it. Watching it from a "mom perspective" makes me see a few things that I don't necessarily like.
- When they pray for a meal, they say, "Thank you, God, my food. Amen."
- When they pray before bed, they say, "Thank you God for Lily (or Boo), Mommy, Me. Amen." They also add in any of the following: the bible, the devotional (I don't even know how to type this the way they say it, but it is cute!), Jesus dying on the cross, and other family members.
- They enjoy singing. They will try to remember songs they have learned at church and sing them at home...often with new words added in. Most popular right now: MY GOD IS SO BIG! If the radio is on in the kitchen they will usually try to pick out a few words they recognize (Jesus or holy being their favorites) and sing along!
- Wyatt always has to know what we are doing then next day when he goes to bed at night, if I don't tell him he cries and freaks out just a little! [I am not sure where he got his need to have every thing schedule from! ;) ]
- This fall they will begin attending AWANA at church where they will be in the Cubbies class. I never went to AWANA as a child, but Ryan did (we still get cards from his Cubbies leader). I am very excited for them to be learn and grow in this way! I have also signed them up for the Preschool Story Time at our local library, and I am planning to be more intentional with teaching them at home this fall as well.
I cannot believe that I have two preschool age children! For the most part, this stage is fun (minus the temper tantrums, potty accidents, and fear of the dark). I love my kids and I am continually reminded of God's faithfulness by having them in my life!

Love it, Kristin!! Wow, I can't get over how big and grown up they look. They look like kids, not babies or even toddlers! AHHH!!!! Let me know how they do with Awana maybe Jackson can join when he is three. I will call you about Chi town here soon k?! Woody is on board though :) Alright, love the post!! Jackson has started praying with us at night. He used to just listen but now he adds in his own prayers, while John is praying of course. He prays for all the people in his life and "the KING" which I love. John has taught him Jesus is the King.
I found your blog through Kori's auction. I am a twin Mom to fraternal b/g twins also who are ALSO 3 1/2. I hope you don't mind me following you but your faith and determination through all you've been through is inspiring .
I came across your blog through another. You are such an inspiration to this mom of three. Hope you don't mind me following along with your sweet family. I have been a Cubbie director in the AWANA program at our church for 3 years, this will be the 4th. It is sooo much fun. I wish we weren't states away--I would love to have your sweet kids in my class!
