Who's been sleeping in my bed?!

Well, nobody until this afternoon! Until this afternoon, Lauren's bed has been an exam table, changing table, napping place for her babies, storage for her animals...anything except a place where she sleeps. All that changed this morning when she saw her new bedding. I made it all yesterday but, she only saw little pieces until this morning when it was all put together. L insisted on napping in her bed. Well, who am I to stand in her way! And so, she naps in her bed for the first time in, well, years!

Sweet Moments

L was patiently waiting for us to leave for dance class. She was finally able to finish "Enchanted" after about 4 or 5 days and the movie credits music was on...W and L always consider this to be dance time. L sweetly danced with her little baby while the music played. The video is a little grainy, no really sure why, but still super cute and sweet.

Stister

Now you may think that says SISTER but, you would be mistaken. Stister is not a familial relationship, it is a proper noun. Stister does originate from sister as L has been called sister ever since I knew she was a girl. She is still called sister today. L really, really enjoys role play. She can be anyone from Alice (in Wonderland) to Cinderella to Mommy and whatever else falls in between those titles. When she is playing "mommy" her playmate is always Stister. The playmate should definitely refer to themselves as Stister. The funny thing about role play with L is you never know what character she is going bring to playtime.

Oh, Momma got ya this

"Oh, Momma got ya this" is what L said to Zoe in her very prissy way, tilting her head just so. She piled all of Zoe's toys around while Zoe sat so patiently and let L play.

If W had any favorite moment it was this...the guy at the bottom of the "seesaw" was launched into the air and he did a back flip into the chair. Once he landed in the chair it backfired...W just cracked up!

L did enjoy some cotton candy

W and L both enjoyed having floor seats. They took full advantage of the floor space beside our seats...well, the dance floor, according to them.

This is one part L liked. The elephants WOWed her.

Starting 2011--part 2

W and Kylie enjoyed driving in the car. I am not sure if W is racing Kylie here or running for his life!

The circus was a hit with W. This was a magic show/circus. William loved the people appearing and dissapearing from the boxes. He really loved the clowns that came out between sets. Lauren needed some coaxing to stay for the whole show after the first person disappeared from a box. I am not sure how her little mind computed that but it terrified her, for sure.

Starting off 2011

W, L, and I went to see "Gulliver's Travels". The really liked the movie but mostly it was the movie theater popcorn that they enjoyed. We were the only people in the theater so nobody was annoyed in the snapping of this picture.

W and L are finding more and more friends to play with in the neighborhood. In this picture is Kylie, a regular playmate. Lauren is in true form wearing her Rapunzel dress--I can't believe that thing hasn't fallen apart yet. The big ball is GREAT fun. The kids get in it and roll around in the yard--they are like hamsters in a wheel.

W and L are doing W's favorite thing to play, talk about, watch...Bey Blades.

L loves to put the dome cones out and spread them around the yard. This is the first time she actually walked on them.
