The Angels


Here is the first photo of BOTH girls on the naughty step. :) This obviously was NOT effective as a punishment this time. They had been fighting over the baby stroller, so both were in trouble. While they were sitting there Anna was giving me this look like "Whatever Mom," (see above photo) for being such a little one, she has attitude! Well, then I just thought they were so cute, & had to grab the camera. 

Last night I was telling Vance the things that Sophia is into right now. In response, he said, Why not update the blog so that you will remember them. Brilliant. So here are 5 things the girls are interested in as of today :)

Sophia:
1. The letter "S" she is thrilled to find it anywhere. Her name is thrilling- she likes to trace it over & over & over

2. weather- they  talk about weather at school and now we try &  find it on the computer & talk about it- a lot

3. puddles/rainy days- who doesn't like to splash in mud puddles?

4. Dreams- she got me the other day- I said so did you have a dream last night? She told me this detailed & elaborate story. I was impressed. She asked if I had had a dream that night. I said not last night. Her response: Well, just make up one like I just did. hee hee

5. Songs- We have the same cd in the car that we like (I liked it better a few weeks ago) & now Sophia will sing the songs on the "stage"= fireplace & put shows on for us. So very cute!

Anna
1. Anything Sophia is doing. 

2. Frogs & birds- she can say the words 

3. Puddles- again, who wouldn't like to splash.  

4. Babies- we have SO many baby dolls & 

5. Friends & daddy- when our friends come to visit she squeals & runs around. When daddy gets home she runs around yelling "Dadda, dadda, daddda, daddda" So happy to see him !!!!

Oh, Anna!



Anna Banana is such a joy!  & Her naughty behavior is hilarious (I'm working on being the adult, & disciplining, instead of just laughing) The photos above are of a painting session  where she was rubbing the paintbrush in her ear! She is really really naughty in a smart way, that I wouldn;t expect at her young age. The other night at dinner she was eating some mixed vegetables & they were disapearing, thinking that she was eating them, I'd give her a few more. I look over to see her putting them all in her sleeve! 
She will take something of Sophia;s making sure that Sophia knows that she has it & will take off running. She glares, & will stomp & yell if she doesn;t like something .  Of course all that naughty is mixed in with snuggles, kisses, baby doll  holding, & lots of sweetness. 
We love you Anna! & you crack us up!
