Elsie's first tooth has been pushing through and finally is visible and you can feel it, yay! It is the left bottom one. These teeth are sure taking their time to come in!
My Dad called out of the blue and said he was thinking of me, so good to chat with him. We were on the phone for almost an hour together.
Mike's paycheck is here finally, what a long month.
Our learning playdates are so much fun and we are thankful to be a part of them. Ruby made a hula dress and necklace today, so cute. She did a little dance with her friends after they were all finished. We were studying Hawaii and the letter "H".
Sunday is the Bloomsday walk with my niece and nephew, looking forward to walking 7.5 miles with them.
So many wonderful friends and opportunities here in the Spokane area, it has been the best time of my life and I have made some really awesome lasting friendships!
Alittle about Elsie:
Elsie has been saying "Bye! Bye! Dad!" nearly everytime she sees him close a door, leave a room, or go to work. It is so cute, she will look at me like, "Shouldn't you be joining in. She has been saying this and practicing it since the Sunday before last and is getting pretty good at it.
She is definitely a girly girl. She loves to walk around the house with something around her neck, anything she can get her hands on. Sometimes clothes, plastic necklaces, string, ribbon. She also loves, loves, loves shoes and having them put on her.
She loves texture books and being read to. Mike was reading to her yesterday and it was totally cute, she was all propped up and engaged in the reading with a sweet smile on her face.
She has been getting onto toy riding objects like cars and horses. She is pretty good about getting off as well.
Elsie is a dancing queen...she LOVES to dance and swings her hips with the music. The past few days she has even started twirling around as part of the dance, she will do it over and over.
She also will mimic anything you do.
Alittle about Ruby:
Ruby loves to read to us after she knows the words of a book. She will hold it out like a librarian so everyone can see it.
She is also trying to predict what we are saying, it is pretty funny. I will say something and she will move her mouth at the same time moving her mouth as to what she thinks I am going to say. She does this with all of us and at her learning playdate. BTW...she loves going to her learning playdates and has made friends with all her classmates.
She has been trying harder to be more patient with Elsie and doesn't pull things away from her as much. We have been right on top of her with this.
We have been talking about what she is thankful for each night. She always says God first, then she usually says her cousins names or Elsie or Daddy. So sweet! We have been giving different types of kisses too and she loves this. We do a butterfly kiss, cow kiss, horse kiss, and fish kiss. She keeps adding different types every night, last night it was a ladybug kiss.
Counting my blessings everyday!
What a wonderful blog, Eve. It's so important to be thankful. I love how you are teaching your girls! They are going to grow into amazing women, just like their mom!
