talking

Lydia has been busting out new words left and right lately. She is also singing phrases in songs which is totally cute. Yesterday I gave Kiera a dum-dum after lunch and Lydia started pleading "Too! Too!" and I realized it is because I usually ask her "do you want to have one too?" Cute. My favorite is Lydia singing "I know you" (the first phrase from the Sleeping Beauty once-upon-a-dream song). She sings it while dancing. I'd love to get it on video but of course that is impossible.
Yesterday Lydia was having trouble with her stuck stroller and and she started asking for help. She said help about 10 times ....only she omitted the "P". Too early to discuss naughty words?
Kiera has a new best friend ever since I got back from the hospital: Elmo. I've been replaced by her elmo doll. She insisted this week that Elmo needed clothes. So now elmo wears one of lydia's shirts. Kiera has been teaching Elmo to read (which is fine with me since it just helps her remember what she has learned. Elmo goes everywhere with us.
Yesterday Kiera saw a little scab on my hand and said "Oh mommy-- you'd better go to the hospital so that the doctor can put a bandaide on it. Then you can stay there and Bina (her favorite babysitter) can take care of me" I think she's trying to get rid of me! Then again, Kiera has a cold right now and whenever ask her to do something she says "I can't mommy-- I'm sick right now. I need to go to the hospital".
Funny little ladies keep me entertained.

Ah, another post that brings a huge smile to my face. By the way, there's nothing worse than a naked Elmo. I miss those two little bundles of joy.

Oh..and doesn't she have a doctor or nurse kit she can use to cure all the ills?

How do you know that she wasn't swearing? I mean, if MY stroller were really stuck...

Yes, Kiera and Elmo became really good buds while I was there...I just didn't realize that it was a new thing!
Maybe if you just keep the camera on top of the fridge, you can grab it and get "I know you" from Lydia before she realizes she is being captured!
PS how did your pressure cooking turn out?

Lydia's request for help might raise some eyebrows in the nursery next month!

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
