So thankful for so much super stuff again this week!
1) This past week the girls were studying modes of transportation
at school. The girls collected pictures
of planes, trains, and automobiles from magazines, and I usually ask them if
they want to draw something on the envelope that they carry to school. I drew a very simple car on a Post-It note,
and Baby A copied it so incredibly intently.
Baby B drew a bus and and a dump truck, and beside it there was a grey
blob. I asked her what it was, and she
said, “This is a shadow of myself.” So
poetic she is…HA!
2) Baby B has been so very affectionate
lately. She’s been all about planting
big, huge kisses…and that’s just fine by me!
One day she said, “I have a surprise for you, Mommy!” What is it?
“MUAH!!!” right on the cheek. “There
it is!”
3) Tuesday was such a cold day, and I decided to
surprise the girls with some homemade hot chocolate. They were so excited, and I can hardly stand
the cuteness of seeing their tiny little hands wrap around our itty-bitty
espresso mugs.
4)
The girls are still SO into hide-and-seek. They just cackle when I exclaim to the “seeker”,
“You’d better not lose my baby!” or, especially, “You’d better not lose my husband!” HA!
5) On Wednesday we invited “Grandma” June over for
homemade muffins to celebrate her birthday.
The girls were so excited to sing Happy Birthday to her, and they
thought it was so special that she had a candle in her blueberry muffin.
6) On Friday we hosted a new friend for a play
date. Miss S is not quite two, but she
is the spunkiest little thing you’ve ever seen.
The girls were absolutely delighted to see her checking out their toys,
and my heart melted when Baby B held S’s hand every time she crossed the
room. So sweet!!!
7) On Saturday we took advantage of a relatively
warm (to mid-January, anyway) day and made a trip to the zoo. It had been about two months since our last
trip, and the girls were so happy when I surprised them with the day’s plans
when they woke up that morning. And
immediately they started talking about lunch, too. They think they can’t go to the zoo without
lunch at Macaroni Grill. ;)
8) I had my monthly MoMs meeting on Sunday, so the
girls were home with Daddy for a couple of hours. It’s so nice to come home to two smiling,
bouncing babies. They’d had so much fun
with their daddy…they were so proud to show me how they practiced jogging in
place, doing basketball bounce passes, and competing in four-legged “crab” races.
9) The girls got a really cool magnetic
puzzle of the US for their birthday.
Baby B was playing with it one afternoon, and she called out, in
distress, "Mommy! I can't find Oregon!!! It goes
under Washington, and I can't find it!!!"
10)
I am always
amazed at the girls’ pretend games. When
we visited the children’s museum in Charlotte this summer, there was an exhibit
showing how animals are tracked with cameras on their backs. The girls still remember that, six months
later. “The blood pressure cuff [from
the doctor kit] is a camera on the dolphin's back so we can see where he
swims."
