Categorically Speaking

Latest obsessions

Tyler: Cross Me (phone game); the Utes (always); the PAC 12; his Volt; watching football

Alison: Spider Solitaire (another phone game. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this...); the Cougs; watching football; wishing for cooler weather; thinking about politics

Ada: Watching, playing, and drawing My Little Pony (AKA The Ponies That Jack Has, since they first watched it at their friend Jack's house); drawing pictures of any and everything

Kate: My Little Pony (see Ada's obsessions); chocolate milk (and anything else chocolate); climbing on and jumping off of things

Lyla: playing with markers (lids on); Mama; throwing her cup and food on the floor; playing in the tub; other babies

Latest events

Alison: playing church volleyball; family vacations; turning 31

Ada: turning six; starting first grade; starting soccer; family vacations

Kate: turning four; starting her second year of preschool; starting soccer; family vacations

Updates

Tyler: trying to catch up at work from all the vacations; studying for an upcoming test for work; enjoying the horse head he got for his birthday

Alison: in denial about Lyla's upcoming birthday; adjusting to the new role of soccer mom; still adjusting to having three kids

Ada: she's still adjusting to waking up early and going to school all day; she can make Lyla laugh like nobody else can; she doesn't love school but she likes eating lunch there and seeing her friends

Kate: she loves preschool and wants to go every day. She has a hard time waiting for the noon start time; she wakes up ridiculously early every day and makes it difficult for me to feel well-rested (that pretty much never happens); she's getting better at drawing and will write her name if she's in the mood to

Lyla: she's getting closer to crawling. She can scoot backwards on her back or her tummy but doesn't move around much (no complaints here!); she babbles a lot and makes lots of new sounds but not really any new words; she likes to go to bed early and usually takes two good naps a day, but she also likes to wake up early. At least she goes back to sleep after I feed her; she always wants to eat what we're eating instead of baby food
