The thoughtful sister

Paige is such a thoughtful person at times. She likes to do little things that she thinks you will like. She always gets the Saturday and Sunday paper for John on those mornings. She helps me get Coen out of the high chair when he is done. She will help Johnny when he gets frustrated with a computer game. John always tells her when she does these little things that one day she will be a great mom and she just says " I know dad" and grins. Well, the other day Paige came into my room telling me that she had seen an advertisement on the T.V. for something she thought Johnny would love. I just said OK and didn't think much about it after that. Then the other day I was putting something away in Paige's room and found this on her desk.

She had written down all the information that I would have needed to order this bank for Johnny. I thought it was so cute. What a thoughtful sister.

Zoo Trip

A few weeks ago the kids were off track and were very bored so I called up Uncle Jared to see if he and Thor would like to come to the Zoo with us. He did want to come so we met them up there. It was a lot of fun. Paige and Johnny loved it. Coen just sat there and observed. I was glad that we got out of the house and was able to see the animals before the next round of rain storms hit.

I looked into the bedroom and what did I see..

Coen sitting with a book on his knee.
Today I was clearing up a problem with John's Father's Day gift and heard Coen upstairs just talking away. After I finished my business I went upstairs to see what he was doing and this is what I found.

(Not the best picture of what I actually saw, since I had to go downstairs to get the camera but you get the picture)

He had gotten into Johnny's bed and pulled one of Johnny's Blue's Clue's books off the shelf and was reading to himself. What a silly guy.
