Malloy is walking!

She has been taking 2 or 3 steps on her own for a while but Thursday during physical therapy she just took off. She walked all around the house and even pulled her pull toy behind her.

We also went to the dentist last week and Mallory figured out how to say "no". James and Kinley were trying to take her raisins and she was saying "NOOOOOO!" "NOOOOO!" Now she will walk around saying no in all different voices. It is so weird that she seems grown up so much in two days.

We have been outside and at the park more in January than we were in all of the fall. Last year on January 24 there were 14 inches of snow on the ground and this year the same day it was 65 and Kinley was running around in the sand barefoot.

James is still enjoying school but since Christmas has been a little bored and very annoyed with the immaturity of kindergarteners. Mrs. Orizal and Josh and I are working on some ideas to keep him engaged and challenged. We'll see how the next few weeks go.

Last week we told Kinley it was time to get ready for bed and she freaked out. Josh told her she needed to go to the bathroom right then or she would get a spanking so she walked in the bathroom saw my pone on the counter looked at Josh then picked my phone up and threw it in the toilet! Josh of course ran and fished it out. When Kinley tells the story she says "I got mad and frew mommys phone in the potty but daddy wan and gabbed it out before it fwushed down!" Needless to say she had some major consequences. We ended up having to pay $100 to fix my phone. That girl is a loose cannon. She is really good most of the time but she can whip out the craziness in a moments notice.
