Lars

...is a lot of work and extremely active.

...tried to pick a booger that Pearl had today.  "I'm just trying to get that booger" he told me.

...talks all the time.  In his sleep.  All the time.  If you tell him to stop he says "I just can't"

Pearl...

... can stand by herself if she doesn't know she's doing it.

... eats everything :: grilled cheese sandwich, eggs, oatmeal, squash, crackers, anything you hand her.

... has two teeth.

... just got her first cold.

... plays peek-a-boo with towels, blankets, toys, anything that will cover her eyes.

... blows raspberries, just for fun and when you blow them at her.  It's also how she "talks" on the phone.

... copied Adam when he sneezed today - made the exact same noise, just with her mouth.

... wants whatever Lars has.  Always.  

Mama's socks and a blue lollipop

Lars came home from preschool and wanted to wear the knee socks I had been wearing - and eat a blue lollipop while watching a show before his nap.  It was definitely a photo opportunity.

Pearl at Little Gym

The first two weeks that we went to Little Gym, Pearl was not sure about it.  She wanted to be away from the crowd (of three girls), she did not want to try anything for the first time in front of anyone, and we spent most of the time exploring by ourselves.  When I went to take her this time I was a little bit dreading it - but also determined that she would do something 'social' for at least a year.  Then she could quit if she wasn't liking it still.  

She loved it.  

Pearl was the life of the party.  She talked really loud the whole time, she crawled all over, she laughed and smiled, and wanted to play with everything.  She let Teacher Allison use her as the demo baby to show new skills and she clapped and laughed when everyone clapped for her.  Silly girl.

Lars at Little Gym

Lars loves Little Gym.  He loves his teacher, Teacher Allison too.  Pearl has the same teacher and right before class one day Lars said "Pearl is lucky, she has Teacher Allison too."

Suck up.
