There are a few things that have happened recently that I need to record so bear with me.
Christopher
- He is still completely enamoured with anything fireman or firetruck. He has started telling me that he wants to be a fireman when he grows up.
- He is the best protector of his little (by one whole minute) sister. We were walking up the sidewalk to our front door and Kendall saw a dead cricket. She got a little scared and didn't want to walk past it. Christopher took her hand, said, "It's OK Dendall" and guided her around the cricket. I seriously had tears in my eyes.
- He is still all boy. If he can climb it and jump off, he will. His newest trick? Climbling on to the arm of the recliner and jumping to the floor (sometimes with a 160 degree spin).
- He has taken a fancy to getting himself dressed. That's really great except he insists on doing it at bedtime. We tuck the kids in and within 10 minutes, Chris is rummaging through his dresser trying to find the perfect outfit. Some nights I just let it slide and other nights, I go back in and correct him.
- She has started showing interest in princesses. She dresses up and says, "I'm pretty".
- She has started mothering Christopher (in a good way). They finished eating dinner and were playing with their chalkboard. I heard Kendall say, "Oh, Chris. You have pizza on your nose. I'll get a wipe". She proceeded to wipe his face for him like a good Mommy.
- She finally caught on to potty training! She has been going pee pee in the potty for about 2 weeks now and staying dry during the day (minus a few accidents). I never thought we would get here!
- When we read books together, she has started saying the letters so we spell the word. When we're finished, she puts her index finger on the word and as she says it, she swipes her finger from left to right like she's reading.
