Big week!

Well this is a big week for Annabelle. She is graduating preschool Thursday. Then on Sunday she has her dance recital. I have a few surprises planned for her since she's done such a wonderful job in school and at dance. She is excited for both things!

Annabelle is reading more and more. She surprises me at times and will read stuff I'm typing or road signs. She can't wait for kindergarten already.

She has been full on nonsense as usual. During a bath she told my mom she had a really bad headache and didn't think they should wash her hair. My mom was giving her the "oh no! that's too bad!" and apparently she felt guilty. She said "Not really I just don't want to wash my hair." Freakin' turd!!

Elsie is amazing. Totally amazing. She's a MESS and into way more things than Annabelle ever was, but she is so smart. She is following more and more commands, asking for more things, and repeating more words. We can say something like "oh no, it got stuck!" and she will say "tuck!" or we can say "does Elsie want to do it?" and she will say "dooo it." She is so much fun and so friendly still. We went to a music festival all weekend and had to keep a close eye on her or else she would be with a stranger, trying to play. We get many comments on how sweet she is.

She does still throw major fits and bites a lot. She gets angry and just screams if she doesn't get her way. We just leave her alone and allow her to scream. It's a lot of fun :)

We took her to Children's hospital for a surgery consult for her hernia. It confirmed what we thought - she is fine to wait until age 3 at least. So hopefully it will close on itself before then. That was a relief.

They're so smart and healthy that it's hard to complain about a thing!
