Mila loves to sing songs now and will ask me to play her favorite songs and then only she can sing them. She's really catching on to all of the words!
Mom: Last one to the bedroom is a rotten egg!
Mila: Daaaaad! You're the rockin egg!
Mila is so grown up I just can't believe it. I am both excited and scared for what's next if she's already this much of an adult. She is the morning caring, compassionate girl in the whole world and her first priority is to help others and take care of everyone. She is such a big help to me and her sister; Nellie has no idea how lucky she is to have her!
They are fast becoming best friends (and enemies!) and I just love their little relationship.
Mila spent Martin Luther King Jr. day at Knott's Berry Farm and had a blast! Lexi turns 5 this summer and will start Kindergarten in the fall while Mila stays behind at preschool (she just misses the Kindergarten cutoff by 25 days), I am already so sad for her!
While she was there we took Nellie out on a date as well. It's so crazy how different she is when she is alone and not having to compete for attention!
Mila had a couple of sleepovers this month, one with the Charland girls and a couple with Kira. She's such a little social butterfly, already having sleepovers at 4! When she spent the night at Kira's one night Robert asked why and I said, I don't know, no reason other than this is what girls do!
Later that night when we got home we were getting her ready for bed and she had her diaper off; I was having her repeat her colors..."Red....Green....Pee Pee!" as she peed all over her bedroom floor.
Nellie started preschool and, after a little adjustment period and getting sick the first week, she is now excited to go and loves school. We were so lucky my parents were here and could keep Nellie for a few days while she recovered; after that first little cold she's been perfectly healthy so we lucked out!
The teachers say she is the greeter, running up to all the kids when they arrive and giving them a hug. Every day when I pick her up and we go into Mila's classroom all the kids know her name, it's so cute.
Nellie has figured out how to take off her pants and know takes them off, mostly her jammies, whenever she wants. Half the time I come to get her out of bed in the morning and she has taken her pants off and thrown them out of her crib.
She refuses to wear footed pajamas and wants to be naked all of the time and shake her booty while singing "boody boody boody."
This sweet little girl makes my heart so full and also brings me near my breaking point every day. She can put a smile on anyone's face in an instant and has the silliest little personality. She is starting to talk more and can count to three and she finally knows to say "I'm two" when someone asks her how old she is.
The girls got a haircut and Mila chopped a lot of length off of hers. She wanted to go shorter but I said maybe we should stick with this length for now!
The girls started their Spanish class, Amiguitos, this month and they love it! I had no idea that the entire class is taught in Spanish (no English at all!) but the girls are really catching on to it. The theme for the first half has been Superheroes and Fairies; I was hoping for more conversational Spanish but maybe this is how they learn. I will definitely keep them in this class, or another, going forward as I think it's so important for them to learn Spanish.
As crazy as the days are I try to remind myself that THESE ARE THE DAYS. I just need to take a deep breath and remember at least one sweet moment from every day and I hope they will too.
