Now that the sun is back out, it's time for hibernation to end. Here's an update on the kids.
One day last week, I noticed Leina climbing around on her crib. I realized that she could climb both in and out. She must have made the discovery that day. Late last week, she woke late at night (1:30 am) and wouldn't go back to sleep, so I laid down with her and fell asleep. She was pretty happy about that and every night since, has begged for the same thing. Except, instead of screaming and crying in her crib, she climbs out, lays down in bed where she wants me to lay down with her, and then screams and cries. So she doesn't try to get out, but she climbs out of the crib, and lays down on the bed to wait for me. She's so proficient now, she can get out of the crib in a matter of seconds. But luckily, she hasn't figured out the smooth, round doorknobs yet, so she's still stuck in the room... for now.
She's still our quiet girl, but has a strong opinion and stubborn attitude. Quite different from the older two. Here she is using the scooter she got from grandpa and grandma. She's getting better at it.
Taisei got baptized two Saturdays ago! Here are some pictures below. Today is the first Fast Sunday since he's been baptized, so we let him go for it. He complained about being hungry at church (especially hard in our ward since it doesn't start until 1pm). But he made it all the way to the end, got home, ended the fast, and then had breakfast. That's no small feat for an 8 year old. We were proud of him so we let him relax at home for a few minutes. ;)
Just for our records, Taisei is 51" and 54 pounds, approximately 50% and just below 50%. Eyesight isn't perfect anymore - about 20/25. Still not necessary to have glasses yet. I hope it doesn't get worse. :| Interestingly, his left eye is better than his right eye. He is right eye dominant, however.
Mirei is starting to read now. Occasionally, she'll read something from a sign or something. We're still on 3-letter words, like "pot" and "pan", but the other day, she read "yes" from a sign. Not too bad. Maybe we'll throw her in an academic preschool like Challenger to see how she likes it. Oh, Mirei learned to ride a bike recently. She still will occasionally pedal backwards and engage the brakes, but she's getting comfortable with balance and steering. Here's hoping we can go on bike rides soon!

Anyway, just a quick one since it's late at night. G'night!

Oh, I was so confused when I was there last time, heard Leina crying, went to check on her, and she was just laying in the middle of the bed. That's pretty funny that it's because she was waiting for you.
I am impressed that she can use the scooter so well at that age.
I'm so proud of Taisei. He is a good kid. I can't believe his eye sight is already drifting from 20/20 though. Too bad :(
I am excited for the Yu family to start going on bike rides. I used to get so mad at Dad because I couldn't keep up with him, ha ha.
Oh, that Leina is so cute! Wow, Esther has really long hair now. Good job fasting for so long, Taisei! Congrats on riding a bike, Mirei! And she's so young to be doing that! It is so fun to have the kids be able to ride.
