My children. They amaze and exhaust us every day. Just a few snippets about each one:
Amelia
When picking out shoes the other day, "I just love the pink ones. Pink is my favorite color. I just can't take my eyes off of them!"
Same shopping trip, I held up an Elsa dress and she exclaimed, "I just love it. It would go fabulous with my Elsa cape!"
I think my shopaholic genes are getting passed onto her.
She is obsessed with friends right now. She is constantly asking to play with friends or if we are headed somewhere, she asks if friends will be there.
She starts preschool next week. Two days a week. In a home-based preschool with only 4 students in the class. I am so excited for her to learn and play and grow in her personality.
When we paint her nails, she asks for a different color for each toe.
She often wears mis-matched shoes and calls it her "silly shoes".
We picked out Disney shirts yesterday for our upcoming trip, she picked a pink Sleeping Beauty. She came home, matched it with pink shorts and put on her new pink shoes. And she wore the outfit again today and told me she's going to wear it every day.
Maya
We love her. She is 2 1/2 and I often just lump her with Amelia and treat her like she is much older.
She cries and screams a lot. And gets highly offended at any little thing Amelia does.
That said, she is great at playing on her own. She loves all her toys and when she wakes up in the morning, she exits her room with an arm full of toys that she can't bear to part with.
She is so talkative and sweet. Every night at dinner she will enthusiastically say, "Thanks mom for making me this dinner!" Music to my ears.
She really is our sensitive girl and loves to snuggle and have "talks" and is delighted anytime we pay her any attention.
The girls together, they are rough right now. Maya is really standing up for herself and the fighting is every 3 minutes, literally. But they really do love each other. When they are apart, Amelia will grab extra stickers for her or ask if we can pick out a book for Maya. And when they reunite, they hug and Maya says, "I really really missed you Millie" and life is just bliss. Until the 3 minutes pass and another fight erupts.
Oscar
He is almost 10 months old. Which is just incredible.
He is standing up on anything he can, and almost always to look out a window.
He is eating everything we eat and is basically done with baby food.
He takes a drink from his sippy and when he is done, he has to throw the sippy cup off of his tray. I always try to launch and save it, but he is so quick!
He has recently become obsessed with playing catch and the best part is Amelia plays with him while I cook dinner at night.
He got his first tooth this month!
These three kiddos, they are my loves.

They are all so cute and so big! I'm also glad that my kids aren't the only ones who fight every 3 minutes. Because they totally do!
