Clark had been attending Sunbeams for three weeks when I asked him what songs he was singing in Primary. He preceded to sing the words "family, power to choose, child of God, and Holy Ghost." I was unfamiliar with the song he was singing so I searched the Primary's website and found the same words to the Primary's 2012 theme song, "Child of God." I was so impressed that Clark had been paying attention for his first three weeks in Primary to be able to sing it from memory. Here is a video of Clark singing that inspired song after only three weeks in Primary.

This video perfectly illustrates Victoria's love of babbling and Clark's love of slurping his cereal milk! You'll want to turn up the volume for this one. :)

This is a video of the first time Victoria was able to actually jump in her jumperoo.
As you can tell, she was super excited about it.

While I was nursing Victoria tonight, Clark was in the toy room reading books and playing with toys. A few minutes after beginning to nurse Victoria I heard Clark crying. I thought it sounded like he may have fallen or tripped over something and I figured he'd calm down and continue playing. Every few minutes or so I'd hear a muffled cry and I suppose I didn't think much of it because he's recently begun to overdramatize any type of owie. Then, around 2 minutes left to feed Victoria, I heard him scream. I finished with Victoria, put her in her bed and ran into the play room to see what was the matter. I found Clark behind the couch bawling his eyes out and completely terrified. After calming him down a bit, he explained to me that there were two big, flying bugs in the room and they bit him and were coming after him (there were two crane flies in the room). He said he was too scared to go into Victoria's room because the bugs wanted to get him. Poor boy! He has such a healthy imagination. He was frightened and couldn't understand why I hadn't come. He said over and over, "and you wouldn't come." Break my heart. I felt awful for not coming to see what was the matter sooner. I emphatically apologized and promised him that if I ever heard him screaming again I'd come faster than I did this time. He eventually calmed down and I carried that sweet, little boy into his room; tucked him into bed, sang him a lullaby, said a prayer with him so he wouldn't be scared anymore, and then kissed him good night. He's my favorite little boy ever.

My friend, Bree Erickson, watched the children today while I went to the endodontist. She said that Victoria looked so cute that she had to take pictures of little Miss V. She sent me these beautiful pictures of Victoria.

We went to the zoo today. The children's zoo has a little river that runs through it where the kids can play in their swim suits during the warmer months. Clark was running around near the river and fell in. He was soaked and crying! Thankfully, I had an extra pair of underwear in my bag. So, I stripped him down and replaced his shirt with his jacket. He ran around and played pant less! It was so funny that I had to take pictures. Maybe, one day I'll use them as black mail. :)February 1, 2012
Victoria and Clark sat in a fun grocery cart at Central Market today. Victoria was super excited to sit next her brother and drive the cart. Clark loves the "driving cart," too.

Victoria and I went to a vegan Chinese restaurant with my vegan friend today (it was mediocre at best). Victoria was so cute that I had to snap a picture of my beautiful baby!

We made pizza for dinner tonight. Clark wanted to help, so he made is very own pizza! He rolled out the dough; topped it with homemade sauce (that daddy made previously), black olives, green bell pepper, and mozzarella cheese. He was so excited to eat his own creation!
Lately, the nightly routine has been baths, put on pajamas, brush teeth, read scriptures, say prayers and then I nurse Victoria to sleep while Clark goes into the play room and reads or plays with toys. After Victoria goes to sleep either Brent (if he's home) or I read to Clark and then put him to bed. Tonight, after I put Victoria to sleep, I ran into the play room and jumped on the couch to scare Clark because he was hiding behind it. I found him sleeping soundly. It was so darling and sweet. I love that little boy so dearly. He melts my heart.
