ON TOP OF THE WORLD--or a bunk bed!

So, tonight after setting up the primary room for tomorrow, running to Target for some last minute supplies before Sunday, making dinner--cleaning up dinner, giving Trey a hair cut, giving two showers and two baths, and brushing 4 sets of teeth I thought the night had come to an end, until Kyle started crying over his loose tooth and I had to comfort him and Trey did the unthinkable!! He started climbing up the bunk bed ladder! At first it seemed like just a joke, but once he started...there was no stopping him!
To the top he climbed--all on his own!Think he was proud of himself?The boys asked if they could stay up on the bed for prayer and I allowed it. Tyler was offering the prayer while Trey talked, but...it was the first time he's ever said really said a sentence. As distinctly as possible he was saying, "Hi MOM!" When I opened my eyes he was waving! After the prayer I had to get a picture! I think tonight Trey thought he was on TOP OF THE WORLD!!
His achievement helped Kyle take his mind off his loose tooth. He is not wanting to part with it. He said he's going to miss it, so I told him he doesn't have to part with it. He can keep it forever for all I care! Tyler did the same thing with his first tooth. I think he's trying to cry his way into keeping his tooth and still getting money from the tooth fairy. The kids is no dumby!

What a climber! I love Trey's smile. It's literally ear to ear. When you said Kyle was crying because of his loose tooth, I thought it hurt him. That is so sweet that he doesn't want to part with it. I'm sure the toothfairy will understand.

Oh WOW! Is that ladder detachable? That's one reason why I don't like bunk beds...but when your squeezing as many kids as you can into a room...what other options do you have right? We took the ladder to ours off until Addie learned how to get up without a ladder...which didn't take too long...that girl is a true testament to the power of prayer...I tell ya!

I love that Kyle wants to keep his tooth. That boy sounds like such a character!

The girls want to get bunk beds, too!

That is so cute! Now the only bad part is how to get down without falling on his nogin without Mom there.

You have a very beautiful family. Your boys are adorable. We remember like it was yesterday when Kyle was saying his first words,which Derrick interpreted as "Sioux Falls" and now he is losing teeth, he is a big boy. Time goes by so fast!
