Carnitas

Squidgy:

This morning when mommy got me dressed, I decided that I was too cold, and had to wear a zip up sweatshirt "just like Maddie" had when she was visiting. I wore it all day :-) Daddy took me to the Mexican grocery store, and I got to tell them that we wanted "carnitas"! They love me there and thought I was so adorable and so cool because I spoke one word of Spanish to them. The best part was they understood me and we came home with some really yummy food!

Jujubee:

I love waiting for mommy in the morning in my crib. I stand up and stare when I start to hear her coming...ready to pick up each stuffed animal individually and hand them to her so she can make them dance and sing for me! This morning I decided that it was very important to dress up in necklaces before I played with my new animal puzzle. You always want to look your best when putting a puzzle together. Since I had trouble deciding which ones to wear, I just put them all on :-)

While I was sleeping, our favorite neighbours came over to give me a birthday present!! My babysitter, Asia's babysitter, and their mom...who misses having little baby girls to cuddle. I discovered the bag waiting for me when I came down after my nap...and look what was inside! She giggles...

Squidgy:

I surprised mommy today by telling her I wanted to clean up. So I got out the vacuum and carefully went all around the living room. "OK mom, this going to be loud!" When I was finished I let Jujubee catch the places I missed, while I used the little broom and dust pan to work on the dining room. "You happy mommy?"..."Squidgy do good job mommy?" Mommy had a big big smile and told me thank you and that I was so sweet.

Jujubee:

I stole Squidgy's fork at dinner. She told mommy she was all done with her banana, but mommy didn't seem to believe her. I got a hold of her fork and was able to stab the banana and eat it right off the fork! I am so proud and happy because I figured it out all on my own! See my proud face?

Squidgy:

I had a lot of energy after dinner...I started going around the kitchen in circles with Elmo chanting "Let's Go Squidgy, Boom Boom!" I don't know how I came up with that, but I think it's pretty catching. Jujubee and mommy laughed. As I got worn out, I cuddled with Elmo and sang him a little lullaby song I made up. It was OK because I was singing it, but I really hate lullaby slow sweet songs. They make me very sad and I cry and want hugs. I don't know why.

Jujubee:

I was very ready to go to bed tonight. I cried and tried to break down the gate at the bottom of the stairs before I even had my ba-ba. I fought it once I was upstairs, and I'm squirming a little now, but I bet I'll sleep well tonight.
