Pool
It took a few days but once they discovered how fun it is to jump in, that's about all they did!
Sister had to remind herself to wait while Brother jumped in.
Trying so hard to walk instead of run. So close to running, but saying "Walk, careful, walk, careful."

Turning 2
Sister is now a two year old, and 5 days into it isn't too terrible!
She did much more spitting on her cake than blowing out the candles, so Mommy pitched in to help.
She's such a girl, wiping her hands on her napkin. The girl is eating like a champ, and loves to hold her fork while eating with her fingers. Maybe soon she'll realize she can keep a whole lot cleaner using utensils.
She's my little baby doll lover. I hope a real live baby in the house will be just as exciting!
Some cute things she's been doing lately include:
-Counting, "One, two, one, two, forty, ten!"
-"Whhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyy?" Seriously, a four-seven syllable word every time.
-Potty-training herself, what a champ!
-Speaking in sentences
-Precisely pronouncing her "L" sound, especially in choc-o-late
-Body-guarding her Daddy when another little girl dared to talk to him. She was a -human shield, silent and intimidating (sorta) She does call him "My daddy" even to me.
-naming all the toddlers in her Sunday school class, too cute
-When you ask her what a horse says, she replies, "Clip Clop" while clicking her tongue, forget the neigh business. We pass a lot of buggies on our drives to and from Grammy's house. Since she can't see the horse, she only listens.
-Holds crayons and pencils and pens just like an adult and leans over to color with such care.
-Peers at the baby growing through my belly button
-Sounds out letters like Brother is learning to do except like this, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, D!"

Memorial Day
It was threatening rain but we went to the carnival anyway. We even promised Sister a pony ride!
No ponies this year. :(
They still had fun on the kiddie rides.
Brother and Cousin rode the little roller coaster. As they were being strapped in, the ride operator told them to raise their arms, so they did. As soon as it started to move, Cousin put her arms down but I'm pretty sure Brother was afraid the ride operator would disapprove, so his stayed in the air!
Ice cream rounded out the evening and since Leah is still a little short for some of the rides, she hung out on Dad's shoulders!

The budding photographer
Brother likes to grab the digital camera and wonder around his little world taking pictures. He has quite the eye for an-almost-4-year-old!
He has also asked for a new baby for his birthday. I'm so glad he seems eager about another sibling, he did not take to Sister very well. Sister, loves to play with her baby dolls, so I think a real baby will thrill her!
