Not clear cut title for this one as I have several things I have wanted to post about..... On Thursday I had the privledge of stopping by our friend Jody's house and photographing her newborn baby Emily. Emily is almost 6 weeks old and is just precious. Holding her for a few minutes and hearing those little cries made me nostaglic and gave me a little case of baby fever... but then on Saturday we went out to dinner with the girls and I so enjoyed the fact that they are growing up and we can do things like go out to dinner and let them set together in a booth that the baby fever passed very quickly.....
We went to our local chinese restaurant and instead of take out we decided to eat there. The girls were thrilled and were fascinated with the cook in the kitchen working the wok. This put them in the frame of mind of their favorite show Kai-lan and how Kai lan's yey yey (grandfather) made them dumplings. so we ordered some steamed dumplings for them to try. Sarah wouldnt try them but Katie liked them......
Sarah on the other hand had her eyes on something else. This place also does decent sushi and mommy went ahead and ordered herself an unagi roll (eel) and Sarah begged to try it. So we decided since eel is cooked to let her. Oh my gosh the faces she made were so funny and cute.... She looked at me and said too salty! Then she begged for more! Looks like I might be ordering 2 rolls in the near future.
The other week I took both of them to Friendlys for lunch and they both again sat together in the booth and ate such good lunches, fribbles (which are like a shake) and ice cream. I was amazed where they put it all......
Katie had her 5th birthday party the other week and in true fashion we had a snow storm. Lukily it was not bad and her friends all came. They had a great time swimming and then eating pizza and cake.
We are dealing with alot of not sharing and fighting right now and it continues to be a struggle. Santa brought them a dollhouse to share and they constantly fight over it. They won't play with it nicely it at all. I am thinking of getting a timer and setting it and letting them have turns because I dont know what else to do.
Reese continues to get bigger and more of a love bug. WE are still struggling with potty training and its a real bet on who will be potty trained first -him or Sarah.
It is pouring rain here today but not that cold so I took Reese for a nice walk. He was not happy with me . We got about a 3rd of the way around the neighborhood and then he started pulling me back. He shivered all the way back...... We are continuing to work with the girls as well to teach them to be good with the dog. They tend to grab and squeeze him alot, which he takes to a point and then barks at them which scares them......
