The Johnson Family

I am grateful for my little sunbeams. I am grateful for my little sunbeams. I am grateful for my little sunbeams. I keep hoping the more I say it the more it will come true. I got a new class the first of the year and I honestly don't know how I will survive the next few months until they get used to it. We have 3 sunbeam classes in our ward and my class is the youngest. Out of the 6 active kids 3 turned 3 in November and December. Needless to say, I will be taking a shower after church as well as before. I have been beat on by a kid named David, whose mother said he has an anger problem. I have been tooted on, buggers wiped on, peed on, and I have been pitting out the last two weeks. I would go into more detail, but don't want to bore you with it. All I can say is I am sure I will be "blessed" for my service.

Last night I attempted to give Sam some rice in the hopes that he would sleep longer. He isn't 4 months yet, but I figure it's close enough. He actually slept for a little over 6 hours! He did wake up about every hour and a half, but I just held him and stuck the binky in and he fell back to sleep. We were awake as often, but not as long. He woke up at about 4 and ate, then I tried to lay him back down and he got totally upset. Once I picked him up and started talking to him he started giggling and smiling. He was awake until 6 playing in his bouncer happy as a lark. (what is a lark anyway?) I hope after a few nights he won't wake up at all. I honestly don't know what I would do with myself if I got that much sleep all at once.

Kelton and Shad have been bonding lately. The other night we realized Kelton has never played checkers. Shad went and got a checkerboard and they have been playing nonstop ever since. It's funny how Shad shows no mercy to an 8 year old. They were really into playing football on the xbox before this checkers obsession, and Kelton kicks his rear every time. I guess Shad is happy to be beating him at something finally.
