Reid's ABC's
I had no idea Reid knew most of his ABC's until one day last week I asked him to sing it...and he did! He usually clams up when the camera comes out, but I finally got a pretty good video. At his best (i.e. when big sis isn't "helping" in the background), he says "A, B, C, D, E, F, G...LMNOP, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z"

Sierra's drawings
She did this all on her own! She drew a self portrait and then wrote her name on the back. In case you can't tell, she was very proud of herself :)
...then she drew a picture of Reid (very similar but with short hair) and wrote his name on the back.
Love this development stage :$

Orange Obsession
This kid is still obsessed with all things orange!
His sister picked an orange paper for him because she knows it's his favorite. And he only used orange crayon and orange dot paint...on the orange paper.
Creative, eh?!

To sleep or not to sleep
Sierra hasn't napped for months. Only when she's sick does she even close her eyes. But she has rest time for an hour and a half every afternoon. She usually plays with her stuffed animals, dolls, puzzles, books and dresses/undresses herself.
2 days in a row this past week it was strangely quiet in her room and I found her like this...
Precious girl!

S and R Funnies
Reid:
* every night at bedtime he requests that we sing 2 songs- "Happy Birthday Auntie Meli" and "Reindeer song" (as in Rudolph)
* every time we talk about a "deer", Reid repeats it saying "reindeer". to him they are one in the same
* the last few days he has called me "princess beauty mommy" :)
* often while eating, he holds up a piece of food and says "this is a bad guy!" ...and then eats it
* when I turn on Reid's lamp in the morning he covers his eyes and says "sunny!"
* he says "yes" with about 3 syllables for the "s" = "yessssss"
----------------
Sierra:
* I told her I was going to dinner with other Mommies for a Mommy date and she said "oh! To talk about Jesus?!"
* I stubbed my toe pretty hard and she ran up to me saying "it's ok mommy, God can heal you"
* she heard Poppa come in the door and yelled "we're in here, Poppa sweetheart!"
* sometimes for the past tense of "break" she says "brewk", rhyming with stew. i.e. "oh no! The crayon just brewk!" :)

Daddy is so fun
That hike was on a very chilly morning, down the hill behind Poppa and Lala's house. They were ready for their adventure with Daddy - binoculars, snacks and watching for wildlife. So fun!
They were troopers and had a blast! Sierra was pretty disappointed they didn't see any wild animals, but they did see ants, a big spider and lots of "reindeer poop", as Reid calls it.

Dance class
Sierra started a dance class a few weeks ago. It's her first time to do any kind of organized activity. It has taken some warming up to but she loves it!!!!
An hour and a half long (ballet, tap and gymnastics tumbling), 3 girls (Sierra is the youngest and the other two are almost 5), great exercise and coordination/balance practice.
I can't get over how cute she is in her leotard!!! So precious!!! She's not currently the most graceful or coordinated, but is having a great time and learning a lot :)
Reid and I stay to watch and he is captivated by the music and the big girls. It's been fun to have that time with Sierra's friend Gracie and for her mommy and little brother to hang out with us in the waiting area.
