Day 38
Princess girl.
February 07, 2010.
The past couple of days have been really nice. It feels like April weather, but it's only February. Must be global warming. So since the day was so nice today I thought we'd go outside and enjoy the sunshine by going on a little walk/scooter ride. I told the girls to get ready (shoes, coats) and this is what Jocie thought would be appropriate to dress in, of course. Oh, that little princess of mine! At least her toes kept cozy :)

Day 37
Bath Time.
February 06, 2012
For the first 4 months of the boy's life we have kept his bedtime routine down to rocking him and singing to him before putting him in bed. We are working on including a bath, (now that is not so cold) and books to it (now that he seems to not go crazy every time he sees a one!-I think he is getting the hang of what books are really for). Now he just needs to sleep through the night... but that's a different story.
Day 36
Mis pequenitos.
I have no picture to show for yesterday Sunday February 05, 2012. But I do have this precious picture of my little ones taken the day before! I love that I was able to catch their innocent, genuine smiles. So grateful for cameras!

Day 35
Hair cuts
February 04, 2012.
2 Summers ago we watched a documentary on TV about a group of little girls that let their hair grow long to then cut it and donate to other little girls their age undergoing cancer treatment. The girls kept asking questions while we watched and were very interested, they sat and watched the whole thing. When it finished I asked them if they would like to do the same: let their hair grow and then donate for other little girls to have. They happily agreed. I told them I would let mine grow too and then we could all do it together. I cut mine last week and today was their turn. They were so excited! I never knew little girls could be so excited about a hair cut! Naomi is not very fond of getting her hair pulled while mommy tries to comb it, so she was specially excited. I'm so pleased with my little girls, they've know and understand the purpose of what they did today, we talked and talked about it in many occasions during the last 1 and half year and they always were very willing to do it with out thinking about it twice. Here are the picture from our trip to the hair salon:

Clay Baby
This is a sculpture of the baby, according to Naomi. See the resemblance? My favorite part is the awesome hair.

Day 33
"I am a star!"
February 2, 2012.
Coming soon, in May, the girls will be taking part in a production of "Tangled"- a musical. Naomi brought a flyer from school one day, and wanted me to call and enroll them right away. Our evenings after school get busy with homework, making dinner, baby, etc, that I kept leaving it for later. Finally after a few days of reminding me to call and no results, Naomi took matters into her own hands taking the flyer from where it hung on the fridge, dialing the number herself, and leaving a message saying that she wanted to join the group and to please call her back. Sure thing, I got a call the next day from a lady asking for Naomi Frost's mom and I finally had to take them both in. The first day we attended they were having auditions in preparation to start handing parts out. The class has been going on since November, it is now February, so the girls have a little ways to catch up. Still, they each stood up in front of the mic and performed their best rendition of one of Tangled songs: "When will my life begin." They have seen the movie at least a handful of times, so they knew bits and pieces of the song. Had it been the "Flower gleam and glow" song they would have had the main character's part in their pocket, ha! They know and love that song, and sing it with perfect pitch it gives me chills. Anyway, all the kids in the production get a singing and/or talking part. The girls will be in two acts, in one as a chameleon and the other as a fairy each and they both got singing parts. It is going to be so fun watching them perform! I am so excited!
Rolling over.
Baby trying to roll over this morning. He did it!
We had a doctor's appointment this morning. He got pocked, good thing he cried very little- Whew! This was his first vaccine. I wanted to wait longer, but compromised to having only one vaccine at a time, instead of the three they wanted to give him all together- Yuck! I feel a lot comfortable doing it this way. It is very overwhelming and confusing trying to make THE best choices for your baby with all the information overload available on the internet. Same thing with the sleeping deal- To let them cry it out, or not to let them cry it out? The Doctor told me today that it is best to wait until after 6 months- I just started letting him cry it out this week-Aaaah! Like I need any more reasons to feel like a bad mother! Babies grow up to be the result of our parenting experiments. I hope my kids will turn out alright. Sight!....
Day 32
Princes Super Hero.
February 1, 2012
Jojo loves to play dress up and play pretend. She will disappear into her bedroom where she can spend the evening playing royal tea party with her stuffed animal as guest in her castle. Today however she pretended to be a a "Super Hero" but not just any Super Hero, but a "Super Hero Princess" - This is the first time I see her play this character. Her super power was running super fast that you couldn't see her. She ran across the kitchen a bunch of times while I pretended I could not see her. Then she invited me and baby to her royaI ball where she delighted us with a dance performance and some tea. I love my Super Hero Princess!
