Claire
Along with learning new words like “princess” and anything that ends with a hard K sound, she is learning sports. She likes to kick the ball and play baseball whenever we go outside when she’s not riding her bike along the sidewalk. We now have a lot of fun reading books together and practicing her words by asking questions so she can answer or point to things. We read about 4 books in a row before she gets too bored and wants to go read on her own. We even had a really nice lesson about Jesus after we took the sacrament today. One day this week, she fed her horse toys during breakfast and will eat some of the cereal too.
Shay
Her new favorite thing is to be carried everywhere to touch our pictures hanging on the wall so I avoid standing still long enough for her to catch me. I think, she likes the height and the power of pointing and getting to touch things that are usually out of reach for her. She discovered a very adorable laugh with a bubble game we have had since Claire was little, on our iPad (enjoy the video!). When we play outside she likes to find the mud and smear it all over her so she asks to take her cloths off more often and gets really excited about being free. Luckily she likes bath time too so it is easy for us to get her cleaned up after her fun outside in the mud. I think the funniest moment with her this week is when she had a cup with a straw and walks back and forth between Chris and I letting us drink then waiting for us to "ahh" like we are refreshed. It is so much more funny when we wouldn't and she would make us drink again until we made the sound and she was trying to teach us how to do it right by making the sound for us sometimes.
Organizing
After moving in to this house so fast, I've been starting to need projects and new things to busy myself with more and more. One think I love doing, like a crazy person, is organize things and get the optimal space and usage out of areas or things. My old recipe holder was falling apart after one too many encounters with Claire, so I organize my favorite recipes into a new photo album binder so they are more accessible and less able to be destroyed. I still have some less used recipes that wouldn't fit but I plan to get another album as I keep collecting recipes for my family. Eventually I will mostly likely have these for each kind of food: main meals, desserts, breads, sides, etc. I was excited to start this first one and it was fun going through my recipes and realizing some I haven't ever made, so now I have a few to see if it will make it in my collection.
