The other day while I was skyping with Camille and the girls, Chalyse was doing one of her favorite past times: pounding on the keys on the computer.  Camille told her that if she didn't stop she would send her away (meaning into the other room).  Chalyse got excited and said, "Put me in a box and send me to Dad?  Please send me to Dad!"

Our Chalysie

Chalyse really likes Taco’s. She doesn’t care much for breakfast but likes cereal and will often ask for it at other times of the day as well. She is very good at listening to and following directions when she wants to. She is very in tune with what people are feeling and will often observe what someone is doing and talk about why or what they were feeling. She understands complex ideas about people. She is very friendly and likes to talk to the neighbors. She makes them laugh. She like telling people her name and how old she is. She loves her sister and tries to watch out for her. She occasionally still likes tackling her to the ground to show her affection. She is so good at staying in her bed and going to sleep at night and usually sleeps very well. This is so significant because she has struggled immensely with both of those all her life. She likes going to nursery but only if Mom is there too.  She gets excited when they do music time or a lesson and tries to listen very well.

Chalyse absolutely loves her daddy. Sometimes she calls him Daddio. She tells me how much she misses him every day and wants him to come home so he can hold her. She likes talking to him and Skype and can call and answers calls all by herself. She is very good on the computer and can do a lot on her own…which scares me a little. I guess I will have to keep an eye on her.  She has had a lot more energy since we got to Utah. I think the sunshine and being able to get out of the house more has done her good.

Layover in Seattle

 Like I mentioned before on our way back to Utah we had a 12 hour lay over in Seattle and were able to spend the day with our good friends Andrea, Danny and Brixton. We went to a Children's museum, had some fish and chips for lunch and walked around Pikes Place. We had a lot of fun. Here are some pictures that Andrea took.
