The Hutchins Family

Well today we found the culprit of Emree's almost incessant crying for the past week. Yup, you guessed it her very first tooth has decided to finally poke through. It's about time!! If all of them are this bad, the rest can wait for a few months, or years! Although its good for her, now I know she is not just being grouchy and has had a very good reason for being so fussy! On the good side, she actually has taken a nap two days in a row now, that is a record. She hasn't napped for about 2-3 weeks now. She would just take cat naps and sleep for 10-15 minutes at a time. Yesterday I checked on her like 20 times, she slept for like 3 hours. Man I got a lot of things done! And she is down for the count right now, so I am crossing my fingers and working like mad!
Brooklyn has started swimming lessons and is loving it, she is learning to do the backstroke and is pretty good. Her favorite thing are the bobs. She also had her first soccer game on Tues and has another one tonight. She is doing much better than I thought. Practices were a little hard to watch as she would much rather be twirling in circles or dancing around. But she seems pretty in to it during the games, so that is very nice! The other day I said to Brooklyn " It's hot out here eh?" (My Canadian slipped out.) And she said "Mom don't speak canadian to me, speak english!" I about died laughing!!! Chas has definitely got her brainwashed!! Although everytime she calls my sisters the conversation starts out with "Whats up hoser?!" or "Hows it going eh?" so she can't really get on my case! anyway it was pretty funny, she is racking in the funny story points lately
Brady just watches Brooklyn do everything fun and can't wait until he can play too. At swimming lessons he constantly asks if he can put his feet in, thats as far as he'll go. He is really good to stay by me and content to watch everyone else swim. He is learning to ride his bike without training wheels. He broke one of them off and so had to ride off balance for awhile, its been kind of hard to get him to sit straight on his seat now. But Chas practices with him every night so I am sure he will get it soon. He is full of energy and always keeps us laughing. The other day he came in the house and said "Mom look what I can do on the trampoline," he jumped straight up as high as he could and landed flat on his bum, good thing it was on the carpet and not the wood floor. But he started crying and I was laughing, "What were you thinking?" I asked, his answer to everything, "I don't know!" So I explained he can only fall on his bum on the trampoline and not in the house, "but I can do it on your bed too." he said. Needless to say the next day when he tried to ride his bike, he came in the house and said, "my bum hurts, can't ride today." Kids are hilarious!!!!!
