AM is really doing quite well for an eight-year-old. Sometimes the movements are backwards, but I bet half the population doesn't do any better! We've been working on it every so often.
The little sisters wanted to help out. LL is obviously trying to steal the show... silly girl!
This is a clip from family home evening. I tried to catch everyone who was "helping" with the conducting, but the men and baby stopped when the camera panned their way.
On another note, AE stands up in the middle of the room and takes a few steps every day. One of these days she'll actually believe she can keep going, and we won't be able to stop her. She is in a really fun stage: mimics everything and tries everything. She blows kisses and "talks" all the time. Answers, "ya" to almost every question. She hasn't ventured into the world of "No!', yet. My little brother, Matthew, called a bit ago. AE called him "ga-gu". Pretty dang good for 14 months! If memory serves, she speaks more clearly at this age than any of her older siblings. She still signs a few words (more, please, thank you, eat), but prefers to speak her form of our language now. The trick is interpretation.

FHE - L and P need to hook up. They resemble each other in both looks and personality. Then again, maybe we should keep them apart.
Speaking children - I remember when we blessed C and when we went back to our apartment, E was yelling something out of the door. He knew exactly what he was saying and it was the same each time. None of us could decipher the Russian Dialect, but I remember thinking, "I can't wait until C starts doing that." I just think it is so cute.
Hi Busy Mother of Five:
This was fun to see the kiddos and family in action. Great post. And, by the way, it's nice to hear you singing. You escaped getting your mug recorded, but your voice came through crystal clear. Nice!
FHE is the best. Cute kids!
Kelly,
Glad to hear there's another clown in the family. L has been the life of the party since she could express herself. Now that she is getting more aware, I have to stifle my laughs so as not to hurt her feelings. Currently, her prayers provide entertainment. I know it shouldn't be that way; I should just be glad she's expressing herself. But the things she comes up with! and always so seriously.
Glad the candy bars are working.
