Despite a little snot here and there, it's been a pretty super week overall!
1)
Baby A has been really inventive during “quiet
time” most days this week. One day she made
the most amazing repeating pattern with her magnetic shapes…I was truly
impressed! And one day she managed to
build a block tower using every single block we have…it was taller than her
head!
2)
One morning I dressed the girls for school in “skinny”
jeans. They’re just a bit long on the
girls, and Baby A took it upon herself to roll her pants up a couple of times
while I was dressing B. I couldn’t help
but laugh at her throw-back to 1991 tight-rolled jeans. [And no, I did not let her go to school like
that! HA!]
3)
Baby B wasn’t feeling well one day, and I gave
her some ibuprofen. I asked her later if
she felt better, and she first tried to tell me, “My medicine soaked in.” I told her she probably meant that her
medicine “kicked” in. “The medicine
circulated through my body, right, Mommy?” I felt schooled.
4)
And B was up a few times one night with a runny
nose. I felt so bad for her, knowing she
was uncomfortable, but I couldn’t help but smile at her manners. Every time she called for me, it was, “Mommy,
please wipe my nose!” And then one time,
maybe I was taking longer to get there than she thought I should, and she added
in the most pitiful voice, “Mommy, please wipe my little nose!” HA!
5)
The girls had a BLAST hosting Flat Stanley this
week. They loved having him join them at
the table for every meal…they made elaborate high chairs and beds for him using
blocks…and they enjoyed showing him around town.
6)
At the girls’ school, there is a miniature
collie named Jack who “works” in the office.
The girls L-O-V-E him. They love
most all animals they see, but always from a distance. I was SO impressed this week when they agreed
to pet Jack. That’s a huge milestone in
our little world!
7)
Over breakfast this morning, B said, “I wish
every day could be Saturday and Sunday.”
Why, Sweetie? I prompted. “So we
could be home with Daddy.” Awwww.
8)
Also over breakfast, B brought up English
Premier League soccer. “Daddy, does
Chelsea have a big game today?” After
some discussion of Chelsea’s schedule and their opponents, A added, “Is Chelsea’s
goal keeper Peter Czech?” Their daddy
was so proud!
So thankful for the little things!
