 Claire

It’s so fun to see her come up with games and creative things each day and how smart she is getting. We see how excited she gets when we rotate toys and she sees some she hasn’t seen in a while. She is going to be a great singer because she likes singing along with my when I’m singing and even making her own music. As we have the conversations that go along with a 3 year old, it’s hard not to laugh when she says “yucky” to dinner and everything we offer that’s not ice cream. Then I insist and she usually says “fine” with the best aggravated tone I’ve ever heard from a toddler. She also learned the motions of the bike and is able to make her feet go around and showed her understanding by doing it with her hands.

Shay

We are seeing more and more personality from Shay and even more sounds and words. She will say a ‘B’ sound when she wants to read books, ‘M’ for milk, ‘e’ for eggs, and a ‘ps’ sound for please. She has figured out how to get past one of my gates into my sewing room, but she doesn’t always know what to get into. When I catch her she dancing in the middle of the room and laughs. Speaking of dancing, she loooooves it and has become attached to our Halloween dance monster and likes to take it to bed after we have dance parties at night. I usually steal it back and hide it away for the next day because she will press the button and make it play non stop all day if she could.

More

I wish there was more to say but not much else has happened this week. I have sewing for next week to make pillow cases for a service project. I hope I get more pictures and not just videos for next week too but maybe videos show the cuteness in action. As boring as our life is, I'm enjoying my time with my girls and having an excuse to be at home with them so much. There is still a part of me that wishes I could go back to work and substitute some days but a big part of me loves being at home with my family.
