Tidbits

My sleeping babies!  The pictures you dare not take because you don't want to risk waking them up!  Elizabeth is pretty much done with naps, so when her head hits the pillow she is out like a light (although ironically she sleeps with two night lights and a lamp turned on!)  The little man on the other hand likes to fall asleep on daddy's chest after being given the option of going straight to his crib.  The nightly routine goes like this...I read the kids a few books, Grant kisses us goodnight and runs to daddy.  Daddy stands at his bedroom door way and says, "Grant, do you want your crib?"  He nods no and they go and lay down in our bed.  He lays down in his crib at nap time with no problem, but given the option he take a chest any day!  Really, who wouldn't?!

Yesterday I was getting ready and I hear a crash and wait for yells, but hear nothing.  I few minutes later Elizabeth carries in a ceramic tea cup saucer in three pieces.  She is very upset and I tell her it is no problem and attempt to glue it back together.  "Mommy, I thought you would be mad."  I was not mad at all, I actually was extremely calm and just shrugged the whole thing off without a lecture about being careful.  She proceeds, "Mommy, I am so sorry, I know it was special.  Grant did it!"  First of all, it was not at all special, I think I bought them on clearance at TJMaxx!  Second, way to through your brother under the bus!  In all honesty, I think he may have been guilty, based on the reenactment.  I can only imagine the plotting that went on between the break and the delivery of the broken plate!

In other news, the latest craze in our house is Doc McStuffins, a new series on the Disney Channel.  It is a show about a young girl who is a doctor to stuffed animals.  Elizabeth can even sing the theme song!  I have to admit, it is kind of catchy and I have even been caught singing along ;)

Elizabeth's tumbling recital is next week.  I signed her up for the summer session of a ballet/tap combo class.  She is going to do the Kids in the Kitchen "cooking class" this summer too.  We will end the summer with VBS.

Grant is loving the outdoor weather and being able to climb on everything at the playground and kick balls around.  We are going to have a fun summer with two active kids!  He is becoming quite verbal (or maybe I should just say loud!) He will let you know what is on his mind.  He's newest thing is that he clenches his jaw when he is mad about something and then usually follows it up with a head butt.  He uses his head like a billy goat!

Oh the trouble siblings can get into together!
