Toddler Time

   These last two months have gone by so fast and have been filled with adventure.  Westley is growing so much and definitely can be called a toddler now. He hit his year and a half mark six days ago, which means he is officially nursery age.  In our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we have 3 hours of church.  The fist hour is our main meeting called Sacrament Meeting, which is where we take the bread and water and hear talks by individuals from the congregation.  Well the other two hours are for Sunday school.  During Sunday school there is a nursery for toddlers 1and ½ and up.  Westley finally gets to go and I don’t have to chase him around the church for two hours.  He loves nursery so much, he was mad when I took him out to go home.  

   Well, Westley has also grown to become very helpful.  He hands Lindsey dirty dishes that she just put in the dishwasher, thinking it’s time to put them away.  He also hands me his jacket and points to the closet making an ooh, ooh sound.  He is so much fun and I am grateful to be his dad.  Saturdays are Westley/Dad days.  The two of us like to kick back and watch a good BYU football game together.  He claps when I cheer and always gets excited, running around the house announcing Football! Football!

   A few weeks ago, Lindsey, West, and I traveled to Salt Lake City for our churches General Conference.  On that Saturday, we went to a bounce house where they had tons of bounce house play areas.  Westley got so excited he couldn’t contain it and ran everywhere.  It was so much fun and we learned that he is such a thrill seeker.  He loved the slides even though they were twice as fast as a normal one.

   Last Sunday we traveled to Idaho Falls to participate in our friends baby blessing. After the service we spent time with them and there family for dinner and conversation.  Westley saw the newborn in a newborn bouncy seat and West gently rocked the newborn.  It was so cute. He loves other kids and babies.

   

I am sorry that this entry is so short, but I will make sure we post again next week. Until then, We love you! Take care.
