Early.
Because that’s SO my style.
Here are some pictures of the girls in their costumes from a friend’s party this weekend.
Some quick things about the girls:
Lily is obsessed with Emma these days. She adores making Emma laugh (which is so sweet), and tells me NOT to tell Emma to “be gentle” with her because she doesn’t mind when Emma pulls her hair and grabs her skin (which is a bit sweeter than I am with our notorious grabber). Lily continues to love school, and still loves playing “talk” (of course). For months now she has been obsessed with the show “Little Bear,” which is an obscure Canadian show that was conveniently cancelled 12 years ago. (Santa is super-excited about that, I’m sure). Lily is hilarious, and loves to tell jokes and stories. She has an incredible imagination, and is as sharp as ever. She is learning to write her name in school. She is much more interested in coloring, and is working hard to stay in the lines and fill in her picture completely with color.
Emma is crawling like a champ, pulling up, sitting back down gracefully, and cruising all over the place. She does NOT like sitting still anymore, which makes taking pictures more difficult. After a brief fussy period while her molars were coming in (she’s up to 10 teeth now), she’s back to her usual happy self. She’s more opinionated these days (as she should be at this age), but she’s such a sweetheart as long as she’s not being made to lie on her back (at which point she flips from “happy” to “shrieking banshee who pounds her own head with her hand in frustration”). She loves it when Lily plays with her. She says “mama” sometimes when she wants me, and has said “bye bye” while waving a couple of times. She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth, and her impressive fine motor skills let her pick up and consume the tiniest pieces of litter at will. Thanks to my quick reflexes, though, I am happy to report that I was able to get the dehydrated worm out of her hand milliseconds before she got it in her mouth. Huzzah!
