Starting May

 Claire

She continues to teach Shay things I don't what them to do like climbing up the counters to get to what is on top, so now I have two monkeys! The new game they love is getting tails (a ribbon pinned to their pants) and wearing their sunglasses as ears and being cats. They like me to make them a cat castle with the couch cushions and they both get a side that has a blanket door, then they bring their pillows and blankets from their room and play or watch a show. Our mornings are so lazy these days and Claire is like her daddy and sleeps in while Shay comes out on her own. It is funny to hear how cute Claire is just because she has these sayings like "I can't do it, I'm so small" when she wants an apple that high up on the counter.

Shay 

As well as copying Claire doing all the funny stuff she has her own idea and starts the adventures when we go to the park. Often she will see something and go running in excitement so they can play on it like a tire swing or a wall mural.  I wanted to get a picture of them when they were in their cute poke-a-dot dresses so Claire hugged her sister which was so sweet. They like to play dress up now because I found some more dresses they can now fit in (even though they are a little big), and Claire will say "hug princess" and they hug. It is fun to hear them play together and Claire understand what Shay is wanting now that she communicates better. Her pointing and insisting noises are pretty great at communicating what she wants something she can't get herself and she looks very cute at the same time. 

Everything Else

Chris is still doing well in his classes and we are half way done with this quarter already! I was able to finally find an appointment to start my vaccination so I'm excited to get back to normal life once 'herd immunity' is done. I got really tired and felt my body feel a little warm but sleep great with no chills like Chris did so I'm grateful for just a sore arm. I was able to go to the store for our groceries and go to the park before I got really tired and took a nap to restore enough energy to cook bread and pizza. Chris was very supportive and babied me a little letting me nap and relax, but then was jealous when I slept really well while he remembered his shots.
