Aisha-- she is so dang cute, I can hardly stand it! Although she has a huge vocabulary, I have yet to interpret her language. She uses a lot of the same words, I'm just not quite sure what they all are. The ones I do understand are: Mamma, Dada, graca(cracker), dee dee( drink) ankoo (thank you) koo koo (peek-a-boo), go, Seesa(Jesus) and several others I'm sure I'm forgetting. And she still signs a lot, which could be why she doesn't use a lot of words.Her new loves are to cover my eyes with her tiny hands and say "wis mama?", give kisses (even though her SMAK is a little delayed), watch Cinderella(ra-ra), and to do everything that Abby is doing, whether it's running, dancing, singing, giggling, or sitting in time-out, she's right there with her. She is such a cute Character and is a big time mama's girl... Which can make me feel pretty good sometimes knowing that to her, I'm the coolest thing in the world.
Oh yeah, and when she feels like it she goes "stee-tee" in her potty... I don't know whether to force that one or not.
Abby--What a big girl lately, it's such a bitter-sweet thing. I love to watch her learn, grow up, and experience fun things that I remember as a kid and yet I can't stand the fact that it's going by way too fast. She is in primary now and LOVES class time and especially singing time. She picks up on the songs so quick and pronounces every word with a bob of her head :) And when it comes to a song she already knows, she turns to me and does her cute shrug and big smile- (the one she does when she's really excited about something, but too shy to let it all out). I'm in primary too, so I get to see her come in a little line with her arms folded and sit quietly in a chair just her size. Then she turns to wave at me and that's the part when I have to remind myself not to cry, quit watching her, and remember I have my own class to watch ;)She is starting to ask questions that are pretty random, which is awesome because I know that the wheels are turning and she's trying to make sense of life. She is also into bigger words that she doesn't quite know the meanings of. For example: "I can't take two more bites, that's because it will make me really busy" or "While I go potty, you can go get my drink ready....that's a good joke." I think she meant to say a good deal :) Anyway, you get the idea. She always tells us that she loves us..." Mom, I love you, I love you this much" with her arms stretched out. And her new thing is to randomly come up to me when I'm sitting at her level, turn my head and kiss my four head. She loves to use her imagination as she plays and makes up really funny songs.
I love being a mama, what a blessing to have the privilege in raising these precious girls.
