We moved to Idaho in June and since then it feels like we have been running 110 mph. I have been so busy with volleyball. Plus with Bryce being gone in July, August, and October it has been a crazy year. When we moved here in June we were living with Grandma and Grandpa Bartschi. Then in October they went to St. George and we finally had the house to ourselves. There were so many changes that happened and Naomi has handled it like such a champ. I really have been so impressed with how she has handled everything. She has just rolled with the punches and been a sweetheart. I'm so grateful she's been able to adjust well. At first, she would get sad and ask for her old home. That would break my heart, especially because we were all thinking the same thing. It was hard to come to Idaho and not have our own home and to be living with grandparents. It's gotten better now that we've had the house to ourself and she hasn't asked as much for her old home. Rex has been really hard, and I am grateful Naomi has done better.
We have Naomi in a preschool class with Karolyn Clark in St. Anthony. There's about 11 kids in her class and she goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She really enjoys it and has a lot of fun. Karolyn does an amazing job and is so sweet with Naomi. I'm also doing a Joy School with two other moms and I take Naomi and Rex on Monday and Wednesday mornings. Naomi can write her name extremely well. She is getting really good at identifying letters and knowing the sounds to each letter. She loves to watch Youtube videos on princesses when I do her hair. And these princess videos range from home videos of girls playing pretend princess scenarios to people opening up princess toys. It's kind of funny it entertains her so much, but she totally loves it. Naomi loves to help me out in the kitchen or with Violet. Sometimes she gets in Violet's face too much and won't give her personal space, but she's getting better. She used to poke and prod Violet till she cried and it was frustrating. But she is doing better. Naomi loves to read her book about the stars, planets, and galaxies with her Daddy. She's going to love astronomy just like her dad. They both cuddle up by each other and go through the pages together. It's cute to see them so engrossed in learning about the stars. Naomi and Rex play pretty well together for the most part. There are times where they end up fighting and hitting each other, but for the most part they have fun together. Naomi's favorite thing to do with Rex and me is to play hide-and-seek. We have a lot of fun playing that, especially in grandma's house. It's big enough and we have a good time hiding in the sun room, behind chairs, in the pantry, bathroom, or playroom. There's just so many options and we have a great time running through the house hiding from each other.
I love this girl so very much. I can't believe how big she is getting, and yet, she is still my baby girl. She is such a smart girl and is my right hand girl. She helps me out and I love her company. Naomi is a beautiful, sweet, funny, crazy, spunky girl. We love her so much!
