After Matt's birthday, when we let Daddy blow out a candle in his Captain Crunch cereal, Matisyn has thought getting to blow out candles in any food is the greatest. She requested to blow out a happy day candle in her orange after gymnastics one day!
Emilyn is obsessed with toothbrushes and picks them up wherever she can find them, usually stealing them out of the drawer in the bathroom or climbing up into the sink to find one on the counter. She would brush her teeth all day if I let her, and she doesn't mind where the brush has been before it goes into her mouth either. Which is so fun for me to watch. Here she is finding a cozy spot in a plastic basket to get some brushing done.
Just for fun I decided to have Matisyn write all the letters she knew how to so I would know which ones to work on with her. I haven't practiced them with her much at all so far, and they haven't really practiced writing letters in preschool until this year. I said the letters one by one, and was shocked to find out she can write almost all of them, even a few of the lowercase ones. Not sure how to learned them all, but I'm happy about it. She wrote J backwards, V looked more like a U, and Z was like an S, but other than those three she could write them all. I was pretty impressed.
Emilyn is deciding she has to do everything herself. She would rather not get to have a go-gurt or a food of some kind if it means I have to feed it to her. Stubborn little thing. She is also starting to think she is too big to be in her high chair. She doesn't like to be held down to a chair or a shopping cart when she has so many things to see and do and so much trouble to get into!
We got Trafalga passes this year, and spent a Friday night checking out the one near our house. Matisyn is going to be in heaven having free access to so many fun things. Here she is checking out the cars.
Riding the fast roller coaster, Matisyn was so brave. She must be getting big, because she wasn't scared at all, just excited.
Not sure what this was about, but I'm sure we told her "no" or something just as horrible!
We went up the canyon to have dinner with the Linton's and McDaniel's, in an after celebration for Josh's birthday. It was fun to be up there with friends and good food. Both girls are hard to keep track of when they are in explorer mode!
Our second little princess. I unpacked a box of clothes from when Matisyn was Emilyn's age and found this dress. Ever since, Emilyn keeps bringing it to me and wanting me to put it on her. She also brings me her squeaky shows that she loves to walk around the house in all the time. She twirls in her dress and knows she looks beautiful. She was totally posing for these shots!
