I wanted to write real quick about each of the kids real quick.  Sebastian is growing up so fast.  He laughs so freely.  He sometimes gets Adam and I laughing about something we don't even find funny, but his joy bubbles over and spills into our lives everyday.  He is a wiz at video games.  His math comes so easy to him in school and he stays pretty focused on finishing, though he does have it a lot easier than Victoria this year.  He has waited patiently for the tooth fairy to come for a week now, to see if he/she will take his 4th tooth.  He was very excited when it fell out.  I'd say as excited as when it happened the first time.  He made Victoria a sandwich today.  He holds doors like a gentleman.  He is excellent about washing his hands in the bathroom, even out of a dead sleep!  One of my favorite mommy things is that he still asks for the mmm song, a wind up of his bear that he took to about 2 years ago.  It was a bear that use to be Adam's.  Before he gets into bed this winter he started asking one night after I did it once for a warm up, before he crawls under the covers.  A warm up entails me doing the wax on wax off quickly to the sheets to get rid of the chill before he climbs in.  It's all part of our bedtime ritual.

The other day one of Sebastian's teeth chipped and he asked if the tooth fairy would come for his tooth chip, and I told him it had to be the whole tooth.  However, unbeknown to me, Victoria told him to put the tooth chip under his pillow and she snuck into his room in the middle of the night and brought something, filling in for the tooth fairy.  Adam saw her sneaking into his room late at night and when he asked her what she was doing, that's how we found out or we might never have known!

Victoria is taking ballet this year from Bethany Breed.  She loves ballet again!  We took ballet at Nevada Ballet last year and she was less than thrilled about ever taking ballet again.  It's nice to see her enjoying dance again!  She is doing well in school.  She loves to read.  She has become even closer with Eliza Carder and still hangs with Emma Citizen.  She met a little girl that lives across the street and 3 doors down named Holly.  They seem to get along well.  She loves chocolate chip cookies and made some today pretty much all by herself for our company that we had over for dinner. (Kirby's family, minus Kirby and Daddy, Gloria, Kale, and Riley Ensser) Victoria and Sebastian are both so good with kids of all ages.  It's wonderful how age is not a determining factor in who their friends are.  It is wonderful to have such beautiful children and most importantly on the inside!
