January 2012
Have not posted much except pictures of late, so here’s some thoughts on the last few months.
Both kids are non-stop talkers and playing together pretty well. They love to dance, especially when their favorite television show theme song comes on. They get up and run to be in front of the TV to dance as soon as they hear it. Both still love to read books, and are starting to be able to recognize or spell a few words. Both sing a lot, and both make up lyrics to go with songs they already know, even making up words too. They both love school, and continue with 2 days a week. As soon as there’s an opening at the school they will go more. We think both kids are starting to make a few new friends at school, but only time will tell for sure. Claire is showing some signs of giving up her mid-day nap, but both are still very good sleepers. They even slept very well on the Christmas trip. They both love stickers, and are doing quite a bit of drawing with crayons and markers, though they still can’t really draw any shapes.
Adam is getting into a “Why?” phase, asking pretty frequently. Not really a surprise for someone who likes to know how things work. He loves music, probably more than Claire. Adam still loves his blankey, but only at night. He is not needing mom so much anymore, but is starting to complain more about Claire doing things that bother him. He continues to be a picky eater, although he does try new things sometimes. Sure loves his fruit and veggies.
Claire is really into “My Little Ponies” and has worn out the folding brochure that shows many of their products that came with her Christmas Present. She also has been playing with her Cinderella doll and it’s costumes. She still loves to run and jump on things, and is a go-go-go kind of girl. Always talking and explaining what is going to happen. Claire eats just about everything, and is into smelling things now too. She loves to climb up on a chair in the kitchen to get something out of the cupboard for herself, despite mom’s objections.
