Warner wanted to do the same thing Liv did on her date night, so we loaded up the bike's, dawned our swim suits and headed out. He can ride his bike now without training wheels so it was so cute to see his little legs working as fast as his little bike would move.
Here is Warner in a nutshell:
His favorite things to do are: Play with Ruby, throw and/or catch anything, play any kind of sport with Dad (but especially baseball), play the sword fighting game on the wii, play pirates with Olivia in the back yard, read with Mom, and color pictures of volcanoes.
His recent accomplishments over the last year include learning to ride a bike without training wheels, memorizing 6 articles of faith, and three scriptures, learning to swim in all areas of the pool from deep to shallow, learning how to do front flips on the tramp, and learning how to read more independently.
Warner loves to focus on one activity for a long time. Once he gets set up with something he likes he is very devoted to it. It might be building a tower, or lining up his cars, or playing with his pets, but he will be perfectly content all on his own to play quietly for hours if left undisturbed. It's not so good when I ask him to set the table though, or get ready for school, because he's so focused it's like he really doesn't even hear me.
If I could describe Warner in three words it would be: Tender, Coordinated, and Playful.
My favorite thing about Warner is ever since he was about two years old he has always held the door open for me wherever we go. He's such a little gentlemen.
His favorite food is any kind of fruit. Especially pineapple.
Another funny thing about Warner is he loves to be warm. It's not unusual to see him on a hot summer day wearing a beanie and a sweatshirt, or walking around the house in his robe and his slippers on. He loves to get cozy.

| Cozy time I do love him so. Here's some funny quotes from Warner that I've jotted down over the last year:
January 10, 2014
While listening to the frozen soundtrack impressively attentively, Warner kept asking me questions. Like “What’s uphisticated mean?” . My favorite was in the song Reindeer's are better than People, where the singer sings “Don’t let the frost bite.” Warner looked at me in shock and said “How on EARTH does the frost bite!?” so seriously. It was so cute.

Before running to the window to watch Dad pull out of the driveway, he ran to the garage and reminded Dad “Wave me out the window!”
February 3, 2014
Warner heard saying to his friend Hayden during a play date and while listening to the Frozen Soundtrack said
“Hayden do you know what ‘the one’ means? It means like the person you are going to love forever and get married to in a castle or something”.

Warner all of the sudden exclaimed from the backseat “Mom! The people on the bottom of the world are probably upside down!” Then he paused and said “Wait! Are we upside down and they are right side up?” Good questions.

My kids have sweet, pure faith. Often times they pray that Jesus will please come down and tell them stories so they can meet him in person. Tonight was no exception, except for with the way Warner worded his prayer he said “And Jesus, I have so so so much faith. Like thousands of faiths. Can you please please come down. I know you can”. So sweet.

Reading with dad the book “Do Kangaroo’s have Momma’s” he was trying to impress Jaron with how well he could “read” the book. And by read I mean repeat it, because he had it memorized. Jaron caught on pretty quick that Warner had memorized it and decided to give him the challenge of at least trying to sound out the animal names. When Warner got to ‘dolphin’ he said “da da” now wait is that a silent d?

Me- Warner if you were an animal what would you be?
Warner- I’de be a tiger. What would you be?
Me- Probably a dolphin.
Warner- Mom if you were an animal I think you would be a beautiful butterfly cause your so pwetty.
Where does he come from?!

Warner runs in the house and says “Mom look at this thing I found. I think it might be a fossil. What is it?!”
Upon close observation I decided it was a bone of some sort. I don’t know where it came from, but it definitely is not a rock.
So I said “I think it’s a bone, not a rock”
Then he licked it and said “Hmm. It doesn’t taste like a smooth rock”.
Two thoughts. Eeew child you just licked that unkown object. And secondly, how would you know what a smooth rock tastes like?
