Kisses

The kids were in the cart at Target and out of nowhere Reid just started giving Sierra kisses - first on her shoulder and then on her cheek. It was the sweetest thing! And it made her smile and giggle each time!

I hope they always love each other this much and even more as they grow older!!! Despite their sibling disputes, they are great friends and don't know what to do when the other one isn't around!

Cinderella

Every day Sierra is getting more and more into very girly things - princesses, fairies, unicorns, jewels, dresses, etc.

It's so intriguing to me that it seems to be innate. But I also love it!!

While Reid was taking a long nap on Saturday, I asked if she wanted to watch Cinderella with me...oh, I wish I could have captured the excitement on her face! She has only seen a few movies ever in her little life and never a princess one.

It was a very sweet and special memory...oh, and she asked at the beginning if she could hold my hand :)

Here's the photo that captures her first time ever watching Cinderella, with her Mama :). (...and yes, she loved it)

little artist

This girl could literally sit and paint/color/draw/sticker all day long!!!! She loves it and I love to see her creativity and how she improves with staying in lines and drawing scenes!

I have way too many pieces of artwork to save and too little organization to know where to put them...so I've started taking pictures. Here are a few...

I did the tree and monkey, she did the grass, flowers, centipede and sun...and her name.

She looked for pets in magazines, cut and glued them and then added her touch of crayon and stickers - she is very methodical. I love that she did the same circle and line design around each - and of course added a touch of glam to each also!

She did this all by herself during rest time!!! She was looking at these words from a puzzle and wrote/copied them! I was so impressed!! "sun, hen, fish, cat, dog"

she said this is me. :)

some random catch up

Sierra and Gracie at Ruthie's princess birthday party

the tower S made during her rest time - she was very proud of it. Notice it's all stacked on a little doll bed?!

They had been playing "baby" - Reid was the baby and Sierra was teaching him how to crawl and walk...then he sat in her lap for story time. So sweet!

his black eyelid...actually it was purple, looked like eye shadow! At this point I'm more surprised when he makes it through a day without injuring himself!!

Making one long straw is much more fun than two small ones...this was one of his first days after surgery. We were trying to pump lots of fluids down - hence the chocolate milk AND juice box at the same time!!! breaking all sorts of rules this week! 

Taking a painting break to have a snack, holding hands of course :)
