My big girl

I can not believe how much you are changing and growing before my eyes. You are strongly independent. You are your own girl. You know what you like and don't falter. You love to play with Maddy. You love to teach and lead little children around you. You are artistic and fun to watch dance. You are sweet, creative, funny and loving. I love watching you grow.

Sleep my child

My child. You are beautiful and amazing. You are so peaceful. You are such an awesome gift. I love that you want me to snuggle with you at night. I love the fact that I get to watch you sleep. You rub your blankets. You have a sequence that your blankets must be layered on top of you. You must sleep on my shoulder. I love watching you sleep. I will always cherish the moments of your life that you want me to be right by your side... watching you sleep.

Blue's Clues

Maddy's new favorite show is Blue's Clues. Funny. She still likes Dora, just not in the same way. She just is now appreciating loudly the power of the blue little puppy dog. And so am I. She begged me the other day to watch it and I didn't have it recorded. That produced quite a melt down. Needless to say, I started recording it and tonight she was happy.

Love my snuggles

Every Wednesday, Maddy and I get to hang out. Just me and her. It's our last year probably to do this. It's a plan. We walk through the door, she drops her coat and says "mommy it's Dora time" and heads right to the couch. She waits for me to get changed and get a snack for her. Then we sit together on the couch and watch a tv show. Tonight, was no different. She was eager for my presence on the couch next to her. She's not as patient as she used to be. She doesn't like to wait on me.

Slapping the paper

Reagan loves to create games for her and Maddy to play. The latest one is done when they are running around the house. She hung a piece of paper on our bar counter in the kitchen and every time they run past it, they slap it. I'm not sure why. But they both do it without thinking about it now. It's kinda funny.

Snow day

Another snow day. Really? The girls might be a tad stir crazy by now. It's just not even fair. They love staying home, but they don't love staying inside. They fight and hug every other second. It's totally drama filled and crazy. But I still love watching them. They will be close for a long time. They are thick as thieves and as much as they fight, I know they will love each other forever.

Icy day = No church

Between my lack of energy and the crazy ice storm, we decided to skip church today. I hate doing that, but I just didn't have the energy today to keep moving. So we stayed home. We colored most of the morning. Once the girls got bored with the coloring, it was time to head to the basement. They might have destroyed the entire basement.

Maddy immediately got dressed up in her princess costume. Reagan started in on the crafts. She made multiple heart cut outs and Maddy danced and played with her barbies.

They played in the fort and climbed up on the bar (whoops) and played the piano all morning.  I've figured out that both girls are getting really good at putting puzzles together. We've put puzzles together so much lately that their skills have gotten so much better.
