Washing Fia's Hair

John is really into helping. So tonight he decided to help with bathtime. After scrubbing his own body, he decided he would help with washing Sophia's hair. He did it ever so gently and was singing "Wash, wash your body".

Sophia actually liked it! John decided to relax afterwards.

When you walk into a room and you see your two children sitting in bed reading...

your heart smiles.

Enjoying the Sunshine

Sporting her new hat...

Enjoying the sunshine!

Rubbing Feet

Matt taught John how to rub my feet after a long, hard week of MAP testing.

Matt hates rubbing feet...so I think he is hoping John will take over soon.

Sophia is Walking With A Scooter!

Sophia is walking! She let go of her scooter after the video and stood by herself for a few seconds. You can also tell by the video that she is ready to keep up with her brother!

Enjoy!

April Updates on the Kiddos

The kiddos watching Sid the Science Kid.

Updates: Sophia has gotten tooth number 8 and is working on teeth 9 and 10. She is a teething champ. She sleeps a lot and that seems to be her way of getting through it. We haven't had to give her medicine or do anything to help her ease pain. She is HARD CORE! She stood by herself on Saturday and is starting to take steps while holding onto a finger. I caught her in John's room on Saturday playing with cars. She was making a car sound while driving the car on the track. Then she made them crash...just like John does. I guess I didn't need to stock up on girl toys! John is growing like a weed. He is talking like crazy and makes us laugh each day. He loves to entertain and be the center of attention. The coffee table is his stage and he performs daily. He loves to shout the 1 2 Buckly my Shoe rhyme at the top of this lungs while playing the drums with chopsticks. He is identifying his colors now. This has been an ongoing event. He is so dang smart and has such a large vocabulary I couldn't understand why he didn't know his colors. I had gotten to the point that I thought he might be color blind. I stocked up on color books at the library and was set to get the colors down. Come to find out...he has been pulliing my leg. He knows his colors and he is not color blind. Onery boy!

First Saturday in April

This Saturday had no plans and we were all at home! It was fabulous. Here are some pictures from the day.

John built and had breakfast in his Micky Mouse Clubhouse.

Sophia took steps behind her little scooter!

We spent pretty much the whole day outside. The kids had a snack picnic while....

We tilled our first garden. Plans this week: plant kale, spinach, potatoes, and carrots.

Our garden ended up being a little bit bigger than we expected....12ft. by 18ft. We hopefully will have a lot of goodies this summer!

Happy Spring!
