Today we went to Tim's work to see what he's been up to. 6 foot tall Snoopy figures! Too bad you can't see the photos because of confidentiality. The kids thought he was cool. Lila thought he was Barney the dinosaur.
Drawing with dry erase markers in the conference room. One minute later, Lila drew a big black stripe down Elsa's jacket.
Elsa's latest thing to say when she's happy with me is,"You are a kind and thoughtful Momma!" I think she got it from a book. Either way, a good thing to retain and use when describing me. A+. Elsa has an active imagination, and usually likes to play something dramatic, such as,"RUN from the thunder and lightning!" or "SAVE Hippo from the deep, dark waters below!" She also likes hide and seek and tag. She runs around the house a lot. While Olympic figure skating was on, she liked to skate around the house with paper on her feet. The teachers at school say she's doing great; she's quiet in the classroom, but really lets loose in the gym.
Lila grabs oranges off the counter, throws them to the ground and yells,"Bowling ball!" If it's time to head to another room, she'll start out running and yell,"Yee haw!" In the middle of the night, she woke me to get some water. I was whispering to her that this was the last time I'd fill her cup - no more water after this. She interrupted me by sticking her face 1/2 inch from mine and exclaimed,"Peek!" I don't know how many books she's shredded. Rips them apart, shoves the torn pages in my face and as I start scolding her, she dances and runs away with a huge grin. The other day I told her to "be careful of the puddle". The next second she was down on her stomach, moving her arms and saying,"I swimmin'!" She's something else.
