Back from Hiatus

I seem to have forgotten all of September and October. So, here it is the a week before Thanksgiving and I am just now posting September & October happenings. First off, the girls are doing great at Mother's Day Out. Amazingly, the girls completely switch personalities at school. Mia, who in any other situation is a total momma's girl, is the independent one who consoles her sister when she is upset. Livvy who is my social butterfly, is the one who cries when I drop them off. And she has been known to follow around the teacher until they pick her up. Go figure.

The girls love to play "side". That is their word for outside and sometimes for slide too. They are loving their little fort outside. Now that it's cooling down and they have better motor skills, they really get into their outdoor play. Livvy used to be scared of the slide. Now she is all over the place, on her own. Mia remains to be my fearless one. I mean no fear, which scares Mommy more than anything. I know that is a good trait to have sometimes.



Their favorite new words are: mine, no, more, what's this, what's that, and here. "Here" is usually used when they are trying to pawn off toys on each other, to replace the one that was previously snatched. Smart cookies.

Their personalities continue to compliment each other when it comes to music. Livvy is always the first one to start dancing and Mia is the first one to start singing. They make quite the performing pair.

I should mention the main reason for my hiatus was a rough, as in sickness, first trimester. The girls will be big sisters come this May. Every time I sat down at the keyboard, I wanted to share but it was too early. We are in the "safe zone" and I see a light at the end of the morning-sickness tunnel, so I thought it was time to share.
