Our Kids

Well that is what we have been up to lately. Today we went to the park and there was a pretty steep hill (steep enough that they fell down a lot) but the girls were both determined to climb it. Surprisingly the generally more clumsy Lela walked right up with no trouble leaving her determined older sister to struggle up the hill after her. Now I thought they were quite cute climbing up but the thought of them both trying to walk down was a bit frightful, so I took turns running up and getting one and running them down so I could run up and get the other one. They did a really good job and managed to get pretty dirty in the process.

Lela has stopped walking around the house looking for Rupert, she says dog a lot less too. I continue to miss him on a daily basis. I just found out that another friend lost their dog to cancer this month and I hope that AJ and Rupert are frolicking away over there in neverland.

We are moving down to one nap per day which is good. So far they are doing okay. I tried this last week but it met with a mighty protest from both chicks. This week we are napping from about 11 to 1 and going to bed by 6PM very sleepy. I think this will be good for them and for me and I think they are ready. Piper has been waking with a dry diaper too so I better start reading up on some potty training books (yikes, already).
