Claire
She is talking so much more and we are having a lot of fun on our walks picking out colors and objects she knows. It is really fun to communicate with her and have her be excited to learn more words with us when we read books and play. Speaking of which, she loves playing hide and seek, phones, taking pictures together, and anything outside especially feeding the horses in the back yard. She is starting to like more animals and when she collects from the book of farm animals she has she will pick out the horse, cat, dog, and pig then leave the rest for Shay. We did a fun craft night where she finger painted and then went straight into the bath, but she loved it! She imitates almost everything we do including learning somersaults and going on the potty a couple times.
Shay
She is so much fun now that she walks around the house following along with us because it makes her happy to find us in another room. When we play hide and seek with Claire she will follow us and as fun when we find each other. She has been throwing away diapers this week when we change them because she likes to try to steal them before I can throw them away. We walk her in there to throw them away so she doesn't try to open them...which she has done before...luckily no poopy ones! Shay has been great at taking naps and sleeping these days and got two new weeks recently so now she has 8. She is getting picky with food but we are teaching her to give the food to us instead of throwing it on the floor if she doesn't want it.
Sisters
Claire has shown Shay how to do a lot of things and it is fun to see them play together. Claire was excited to help Shay throw away the diapers and showed her where they go, she also helps her play in our water machine and spill water all over the floor if I don't pay attention. They play with the horse together and Shay learned to take some grass from me to the horse like Claire likes to do. When I feed them lunch, Claire likes to share her food even if it is way too much food...and they drink from the same cups now, not always on purpose. We all have dance parties together and like to go on walks even though we can't stop at the park anymore we play in the backyard.
Work out
Our work out set up in our garage has been a slight learning curve, especially trying to figure out how to work out around the girls. We mostly go when they are asleep or at least Shay, but with Chris's work schedule we needed to work out to spot each other and trapped them in the pack and play. Hopefully it can continue to work and we can get them enough entertainment so they don't scream at us like last time. We will probably have to only do spotting lifts together with them out there so they don't get bored for our whole workout. Either way, we are still very excited to be able to do almost all of our workouts at home and look forward to not paying a gym fee anymore.
Stuck
I guess I should do my complaining....we didn't end up going to visit grandparents like we had planned because of the quarantine efforts. Now we are just enjoying conference at home while trying to get Shay to nap for the sessions and keep Claire calm and watching her own movies so we can hear the talks. It's always better to be safe than sorry though so we will be planning another visit eventually....hopefully before we move. Which is another thing we are worried about and hope isn't going to be postponed because of the virus and quarantine.
