Bella Princessa

Mini always refused to dress up in princess garb and I found her at school today wearing this blue number.  My little girl is turning into a girl, awwww.

Good and Bad News

Mini grew 0.5" to 39.5" while Grande grew an inch to 33" from last we measured. Mini weighs 33lbs, Grande remained the same at 25lbs.
This past weekend, Mini wanted to play kindergarten with me as the teacher. This meant that we had "lessons". We did a lot of reading lessons and counting lessons as each day lasted about 30 minutes. She is able to read entire books with little help and by the end of the weekend, she had improved a lot at counting from 1 to 100. She got her mistakes down under 5. She figured out that the 20/30/40... could be determined by counting from 1-10.
We got a new 2 person stroller, which should make taking out both kids easier.
Finally, the bad news is that we got our school results and we didn't get one of our choices. Now we got to try again in the subsequent rounds - more uncertainty. Will we have to leave the city?

First BFF

These two are always on play dates and can spend hours together without fighting.  I'm gonna call this one and say that Olivia is Mini's first best friend.

Together, they are loud, goofy, and mischievous.  They scream their heads off for fun, climb any tree they see, and dig for dinosaur bones in sand boxes.
