When we moved times at the beginning of the new year, we got the much despised 1:00 time. My mother in-law says she loves it so I am choosing to embrace it as well. I do love how getting ready is so easy and you have 1/2 the day to do it. I love spending family time and I enjoy Sunday mornings at home with no worries. I don't rush around getting things done like my typical day, I just pay full attention to my children and husband, try to read the lessons if Caiden will let me, and one time I even had time to make bread for dinner. If I had the choice though, I would pick 11:00... but I don't. One thing that is so hard is nap time for Addysin (Caiden will just sleep in our arms or his car seat so its not a big deal for him). A few times she has held off until after church and then crashes at 4:30. She'll be eating a snack in her high chair one second and then the next she'll be asleep. Its hilarious. Or sometimes she'll get a partial nap before church and she'll be ultra grouchy for sacrament meeting because she's still tired. Thank goodness for nursery! No matter how angry she is, she will always be a little angel for the whole two hours in nursery. She always says "play" and "kids". I'm so thankful for the nursery leaders that put up with all the two and three year olds that desperately need a nap.
Sometimes I have to really slow down to notice how much Addysin and Caiden are growing up, learning and developing. A couple of Sundays ago I was bathing Addysin and she has bath toys that are foam letters and numbers. I started asking her, "what is this?" and to my HUGE surprise she knows most of the alphabet!!!! If she gets it wrong, its usually because she said the sound it makes (which I think is OK), or she just gets it confused because they look so similar or sound the same as another (Like 'E' and 'D', or 'X' and 'K' look alike). I'm just a really good mom! Actually I didn't teach her, I bought the fridge magnet from Leap Frog. Its obviously the best. It teaches the letter and what sound it makes. It also sings the alphabet song. We got it for her this passed Christmas. (And here is her FAVORITE stool. She loves standing on it for no reason, or to get things- like cookies- off the pantry shelf.)

All ready for church and just hangin' out...
I got this table and the chairs from IKEA for $25. I painted it white before I assembled it. It looks really cute in her room and she loves using it.

Addysin looks so cute in the picture where she is standing up. What cute kids!
I agree with the church times. Every time it changes it's an adjustment. But there are pros and cons for every time, so I really don't have a favorite.
The table is so cute! good job! 25 bucks! I think I have to go to Ikea right now... You are so good, I always think we have all day to get ready and then we are rushing right before 1. Oh well. :)
