Little Kids

When the girls starting walking and first talking, it seemed like they were turning into little people. Now it seems like they are turning into little kids. They are up to almost complete sentences, and can tell you exactly what they want and don't want (No Mommy sit on the chair!). They still have their fights over toys, although today Braiden waited very patiently for her turn while Maitlyn was playing with the measuring tape. She just sat there and watched Maitlyn measure everything from feet to belly button to sofa cushions. It was quite endearing. And Maitlyn's 'sort and organize' gene is manifesting itself more and more each day. Last week she pulled all the clear baskets off the shelf and used them for beds for the CareBears. It is pretty amazing to watch their personalities develop.

Maitlyn's Organizing:

Reading

Maitlyn figured out how to slide her books under the bedroom door today, which resulted in a book pile in the hallway. Braiden took advantage of all the books at her feet and started reading.



Once Maitlyn had cleared her shelf of all books, she joined in the reading fun.



We then told the girls it was time to clean up and put all their books back. They started scurrying back and forth like little worker ants. However, when we returned to their room a little later, we found all the books (as well as all the toys from the shelf) in Maitlyn's crib!
