Today I took the girls to swim at the pool! They hadn't been swimming since last summer, so they had forgotten that they used to like the water, haha. The were very hesitant and cried at first, but after watching the other big kids swim around like fish, they decided it wasn't so scary after all! By the time we left, they were both floating around by themselves and they didn't want to leave. Charlee is pretty much fearless! She thought floating around on her back (without any help of course) was the best!
We've been playing outside quite a bit. The playing hard routine is great for an easy bed time routine. They usually just fall into bed because they're so worn out. They are active little girls, that's for sure! They've enjoyed playing in the sandbox this week. Though they have tons of fun, cleaning them off after the sand is not so fun!
Funny little things:
- Before Josh leaves for work every morning, Amelia says, "Hope your friends are nice at work today dad. Hope they don't bite you."
-Uncle Danny taught Charlee the "pull something out of your ear" magic trick and now she practices her trick on us multiple times per day :)
-The other day at a restaurant, Amelia saw a black man with glasses walk by. She said, "Mom! That man looks just like dad!" I could not stop laughing!! She does not even notice the color of people's skin. That's great!
-Amelia always makes a friend at the park and wants to hold their hand.
-In the car these days the girls like to try to hold hands. Charlee's favorite word is "no" which she repeats over and over. Amelia asks, "Charlee, no what!?" Charlee also repeats "go." Amelia says, "We are going, Charlee!" I can't wait until Charlotte can talk back and they can carry on a conversation!
The other day Amelia said, "Is Oma coming on Tuesday (twos day) or Threesday? Hahaha!
Happy Spring!
