This week has been pretty good! Sometimes I look at my girls and think about how little they are, but lately - most of the time I look at them and think about how big they are! They do such grown up things. They practice eating off of a spoon. They say lots of words. They RUN ... it's not their cute little walkreallyfast-run ... it's turning into an honest run. They sit on their own chairs at church - for a few minutes. They walk around our neighborhood and point out all the dogs, trucks, cats, balls and the horse. Lyla wants to hold my hand while we're out walking but Alya mostly hates to hold my hand. Alya wants to push her own stroller, or the cart at the grocery store.
Both of the girls are saying lots of different words, but Lyla is pretty good at saying most of the sounds in her words. She is very meticulous sometimes. She takes her toys one at a time and puts them very carefully in a special spot - or hands it to me and points to the special spot that she wants me to put it.
When we are reading stories, like "The Poky Little Puppy," and the five puppies go out in the wide, wide world, Alya likes to touch all the puppies and have me count them with her. Or when we read "Oh The Thinks You Can Think" there is a page that talks about the three moons, and she will touch each moon and have me count them.
Sometimes they will pick up after themselves...but most of the time it's just so that they can dump everything out and make me pick it all up again.
We finally got some snow to play in!
I love their little piggy tails!!!!
Sip-It! makes the best pomegranate lemonades.
Alya likes to make sure Kitty-Kitty doesn't go hungry.
Another grown up thing they are doing - eating bananas by themselves.
I heard them playing together and peeked in to see what was going on, and this is what I walked into. I wish these things happened more often!
Starry, starry night.
