The Month of Love

 Claire

We got to have a play date with some of the people from my ward who have kids that are older than mine, but Claire loved being able to play with new friends. The whole way there, every time I would stop at a light or stop sign, she would ask, "are we there?" and I just laugh and reassure her we were almost there. She has been able to come up with more games to play with Shay as I've brought old toys out like the game board pieces to help Shay learn colors. They like to play phones with a calculator and the flat Lego piece while they are on the other side of the couch or room as each other. When we do the flash cards there was a really cute moment that she sang "rain rain, go away" and I tried to get her to do it again but she didn't get it completely right the second time as in the video.

Shay

There have been some funny things that she has started to do randomly and I try my best to get a picture of it while she isn't paying attention. She plays with daddy's shoes a lot and it's funny to watch her walk around in them and they would do with mine if I didn't keep them out in the garage. I think she came up with her weird position on the couch from Claire who often does a headstand on the couch. She is usually the one who asks to do flashcards, go outside, and want all the attention when dad comes out. She is good at cuddling for about 10 minutes until she realizes she wants something else and will make me come to the kitchen for her every desire. I've been so impressed with her ability to learn letters and we often draw them on the back cement so she can jump on them as she excitedly says their name.
