Emily now has four little teeth, two tops and two bottoms. Her toothy smile delights us!
She is putting her new teeth to work testing out biter biscuits in a mesh feeder. She's a pro and she likes the taste and likes to feed herself. Next she'll be asking for Cheerios.
Dirty dishes. Hate them. Hate washing dishes. And when our dishwasher broke last week, my hate grew stronger with each fork we had to wash. One of the finest inventions is the dishwasher, bless it's little machine heart for doing all of the dirty work and providing me with clean and sanitized dishes. I could have hugged the dishwasher fixer man after he replaced the motor, leaving us with a working machine and nary a bill thanks to the warranty!
This week the girls and I will keep busy by playing with friends, going to the library, and Anna's music class. It gets tricky balancing outings with Emily's nap schedule, as she naps once in the morning and again in the afternoon. Going out in the morning sometimes disrupts the first nap, but Emily often catches a short nap in the car and seems to make up for it with her afternoon nap. Anna enjoys her outings so much and it's important for us to go, so we'll do our best to work out the timing. We also signed Anna up for a parent/tot gymnastics class on Saturdays. Brent will take her, so this will be a special time for the two of them to spend together. We hope the tumbling and other skills they learn will increase Anna's physical confidence. She's just like her mother (me!) and is not overly coordinated. Sorry Anna, you got your Daddy's good looks but not his athleticism. Just ask my dad, when I was a kid I would rev up to kick the ball, give a good kick, miss the ball completely, and then hit it with the back of my foot on the way down. Ha!! I could never do a cartwheel correctly to save my soul. We'll start Anna with somersaults. And likely she'll outshine me, since she's got at least a little of Brent's talent in there somewhere (lets hope).
Now to go load the dishwasher...yahoo!!
