The other excitement of the week was that Ian moved out of the crib and into a bed. He was so excited for his big boy bed and has done pretty well with the move. The first night he was so excited it took him a while to fall asleep, but since he doesn't nap anymore he's pretty wiped out at night so it didn't take him too long to crash. He has been waking up earlier in the morning, but I think this will pass within the week. I took a couple of pictures, but I forgot that Ian had a grape juice mustache. I'll have to take a few more of his room and post them.
One thing the kids have been working hard on is memorizing their articles of faith. They each have a bookmark with all thirteen listed that they keep in their scriptures and they often pull it out on their own and work on memorizing another one. Maryn has almost all of them done, Luke has more than half, and even Gabe knows the first three. They literally spent an hour and a half today working on them and quizzing each other.
This is from an email Daron sent to my parents: "Gabe had his first organized sporting event on Saturday--a soccer game. He scored 2 of the 4 goals but more importantly, knocked kids down almost every time he got the ball. Not because he pushed them but because they got in his way and he ran over them legitimately without foul. He's a bulldozer. One time he and another kid went for the ball, Gabe came out with it, and the other kid was knocked to the ground. Then just as the fallen boy was getting up, a girl on Gabe's team came running up and, trying to jump over the fallen boy, did what looked like a flying drop with an elbow to the sternum. Poor little kid - but it was hilarious. Like it was a brutal coordinated effort by Gabe and the Princess of Pain."
