Girls, you continue to give me things to write down because I don't want to forget them.
One of the fun things going on right now is how much you enjoy when I sing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider". Both of your faces light up when I start singing the song...and you smile like it is the best thing you've ever heard. At the end, Macy, you put your palms up, and twist them back and forth like you're trying to make your little "spider" climb. It is precious.
Molly, tonight, on the way home, you started making a face that looks like The Cat in the Hat....it is so funny! You seem to be experimenting with your face muscles....pretty cute.
Both of you love to be chased right now....but Molly, especially. You both seem to speed up to as close to a "run" as your little legs will take you. Speaking of that, whenever you hear the gates open, you watch to see if we're going to forget to shut them. If we do - YOU'RE THERE...and you make a bee-line for our bathroom or the dining room. You enjoy hearing your voice sound a little different and exploring new territory.
I love that you both enjoy books so much. It cracks me up to catch you reading a book UPSIDE DOWN and just enjoying it to the fullest. You have no idea that we're watching you...that the pictures are upside down....and to see you laughing at the book on your own thrills me. On that same note, sometimes I'll look up and see one of you with a basket on your head...or a foam letter sticking out of your mouth, and you going about business as usual. You do the cutest things in ALL SERIOUSNESS which makes them EVEN cuter!
Macy, you have the most expressive way of speaking your little language. When you get REALLY serious about something you're saying....your forehead and eyebrows seem to come alive and help to punctuate what you're saying. The other night, Molly was sitting on my lap, and you walked up....said something to her...paused and delivered what must have been a punch line because Molly laughed, right on cue!
Molly, the other night as I was changing your diaper and putting on your pjs, Macy came over and leaned over you to look at you reallllll closely. She found your belly button....started gently pushing it, and you just giggled and giggled. Y'all had the best time exploring your belly button and looking at each other.
Several times lately, Macy, you have leaned close to Molly and kissed her, and Molly laughs.
Today, there was a LOT of giggling as y'all took turns with the green bowl on your head....giggling...walking around bumping in to things....and taking the bowl from each other.
Thank you for making life so fun. I can't wait to see what you do tomorrow!
