Bethany has become quite busy lately! She is learning to run and move faster, and I seem to be losing that ability as my tummy gets bigger and bigger! 🙂 Lately, if the statement “Where’s Bethany” comes from anyone’s mouth, you know there is a mess somewhere to be cleaned up! Here is what she accomplished today:

• emptied an entire box of kleenex and then tried to put them back
• partially unpacked a box of clothes from storage
• pulled all the diapers out of her package of diapers
• emptied a drawer of dry goods in the pantry
• pulled half a tub of “pop up” wet wipes from the container
• stopped the CD player and removed the CD

On the positive side, she also:

• still enjoys “peek a boo”
• says “I want some”
• asks for hugs
• points at and names facial features
• obeys simple commands
• knows the names of her siblings
• calls car keys “bye bye”
• dances to any music she hears
• calls her favorite blanket “night night”

Despite her ability to be two messes along by the time I clean up one, I can’t imagine life without her. She is definitely the most precious 4th child I’ve ever had! 🙂

On April 23, Anna learned to ride a bike at the age of 7. Peter learned 3 months later on July 24 at the age of 5. This past Sunday on September 2, our little 4 year old learned to ride a bike! They are getting younger and younger (and this time it’s not just my imagination). 🙂 Next thing you know little Bethany will be up on a bike! You think? Nah!!! Give her another 6 months!
