Flips and naps

Lillie's favorite thing to do at gymnastics is to practice back flips.  In the picture below, Lillie is on the cylindar mat to practice the back flips.

This week, We signed Lillie up for a day camp this summer.  When I was filling out the paperwork, I asked her what she wanted the camp conselors to know about her.  Her response, "That my name is Lillie and I am very smart." 
She came down with a cold this week and learned how to blow her nose.

Sophie started taking naps in Lillie's bed this week and she falls asleep in just a few minutes. 

Sophie is learning new words everyday and she learning to count.

Sophie is starting to say short sentences such as: "I want Dad." "I don't want to." "no, Purple," "Where's Sissy?" "I got it" and  "Kick it"

Happy Valentine's Day

Friday, we were invited to Valentine's Day Party at a friend's house. We took heart shaped cheese and crackers to share at snack time.

And we took these homemade Valentines to give to our friends. I saw this idea on Pinterest.com. You can see how we made them at the following blog: http://happiestmomontheblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/make-your-own-valentines-melted-heart.html

Tomorrow, Lillie has her Valentine's Party at school and she is taking more of her homemade valentines. A few weeks ago, I went to a Mom's night out with our playgroup moms. We painted our own pottery. This is the finish candy dish that I made.
