We had such beautiful weather this past weekend so Emile decided to wash his car. Natalie wanted to help. She had her own little sponge and even washed her Tike Car.
We also went to Blue Jay park for the first time this year. Natalie is a little daredevil on the slides. I had hoped to walk around with Claire in the Bjorn but she fell asleep on our way there and slept up until about 10 min. before we left.
Some random photos of the girls playing:
Natalie is in the heart of the terrible twos. She's constantly throwing her food so we got some suction cup bowls. Wow...do they make a difference. Dinner time is so much more enjoyable. But she's also so much fun right now. She's learning things so quickly. She points out colors of items all the time (she knows green, blue, pink, red, orange, brown, black and purple -- still working on yellow and white). Emile started pointing out the first letter of a paragraph in her books (the ones where the first letter is bigger than the rest) and she can now identify "O" and "B" pretty well.Claire is sleeping well in her crib. She has started going down around 8:30 but usually wakes up again at 9:30 and falls back asleep for the night after I nurse her. She doesn't get up again until around 6-7 a.m. It can still be a challenge to get her to stay asleep when I put her in the crib so sometimes going to bed at 8:30 turns into 10 p.m. but she's getting better at self-soothing (she likes to suck on her hands) and I'm getting better at giving her time to do this instead of picking her up right away (I still do if she starts crying though). She smiles and babbles all the time -- I'm just not lucky enough to catch any of this on video or photos. She's also pulling her shirts up to suck on them and drooling a ton.
