Rolling Raspberry

Ever since their appointment, Paige and Cason are extra into brushing their teeth. They use their little hourglass timer, and I brush for them first to make sure we get ALL their teeth. Then they get to do it on their own until the "time is up".
Cason went first this morning, then stood on the toilet being a total boy.
He makes these faces all the time, and runs around doing all sorts of crazy boy stuff. Like tonight, I made minestrone soup and he found an extra carrot on the counter that I didn't end up needing. So of course it became a gun. He was running, jumping, flipping, and rolling all over the living room and making shooting noises all the time. I said "Oh, it's a gun?" He goes "Yeah. It's a shoot carrot." Ha.
He'd stop every once in a while and take a big crunchy bite out of it. Ha.

A while later he turned his leg into a gun, lifting it up and pointing it at me and then pretending to pull a trigger behind his knee. Very creative, I must admit.
Paige was extra sweet to Neely all day.
And she gave her a new nickname. "Small Raspberry". Haha. I don't know why, but she made it up this morning, and called her that all day.
Oh, and we put Neely down for tummy time this morning, and the kids got right to work encouraging her, like usual. We always tell her "Good job! You're getting so strong!" and things like that. Today Cason plopped down in front of her and yelled "You're 'mazing!" :)
After about 10 seconds of lifting her head and cooing at her brother and sister, Neely started pushing her chest off the ground and then leaned to the right and started to roll.
She made it almost to her back, but the one leg just wouldn't quite go over, so she got stuck with her body kind of twisted at the hips.
It sure seemed like she did it on purpose, so I put her on her tummy again, and she immediately pushed up and then rolled to the right again, getting stuck in the same position. A minute later we did it a third time, and she did the same thing. So she IS going to keep trying to roll even though it scared her the first time.
A brave soul, she is.
