Trampoline Jumping Bean

Yesterday it rained. I mean the cats and dogs type of rain. It was the first day in a very long time that Ayden Jane has been stuck inside. Let's just say, I am glad we live in a climate where she can be an outdoor kid! Of course, without being able to run hard she did not feel the need for a nap. In fact, after about 30 minutes of singing and playing, tossing and turning, I gave up. Finally, when the big kids came home from school she jumped on, wrestled with, chased around, teased... Noah and Mckenna until about 5:30. When she hopped up to the table to get a snack before we headed to the high school for Kayla's volleyball game, this is what we found about 10 minutes later:

The big kids did their job!

Of course, after the snooze on the table it was still off to the volleyball game. I guess it is rough being the littlest.

Today when Ayden Jane got home from school (9-12) she was so excited to jump on the trampoline. It was like she had been caged up for weeks. She bounced around counting and doing her ABC's. Then she giggled and said, "I a trampoline jumping bean." Oh how true! It is funny how she just loves to talk and sing as she bounces. I wonder if we could do speech therapy up there?
