Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb...

Ella loves the book "Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb". Here she is reading the book to Juju, and teaching Juju how to look at the book by herself.

Juju in Overalls

Juliette now fits into the overalls that Ella used to wear. She looks like such a big girl walking around in them.

Ella was upset that she no longer has a pair of "go-gos" (her word for overalls), so I had to convince her that a "go-go" dress was just as good as what Juju was wearing. This put an end to the tears and we were then able to start our day... phew!

Reading together

The other day Hudson and Ella decided to do some reading together. They pulled a bunch of books off the shelves and read independently for about 20 minutes. Hudson enjoyed reading "Where's Spot?" and Ella read her book of prayers.

Ella loves to sing / pray "now I lay me...". One of her books has this prayer in it so she sings it when she gets to this page. Her song is interrupted when she decides to offer the girl in her book some grapes. 2-year-olds can only stay focussed for so long.

It's a truck...

Hudson and Ella were very intrigued by the truck outside our window the other day. Hudson pointed and said "truck, truck, truck", while Ella said "it's a truck Hudson" and later explained to him that "the truck went bye bye". I love listening to their little conversations.

Breakfast of Champions

Just like her Grandpa Clark, Ella likes to start her day with a bowl of Raisin Bran. Juliette usually eats Raisin Bran in the morning too. Breakfast is often their biggest meal of the day. Sometimes I'm amazed at how much cereal they can eat... on other days Ella just picks the raisins out of her bowl and leaves all the bran.

Brushing teeth

Our girls love brushing their teeth. Ella is getting quite good at brushing her own teeth, Juliette mostly likes to eat the strawberry toothpaste off her toothbrush.

Visiting with Grandpa Rob

Grandpa Rob came over for dinner last night. The girls were very excited to have some play time with him. At one point Ella was trying to figure out where Grandpa Rob lives and so she asked him "where is your house Grandpa?".

Grandpa Rob also let Ella try his glasses on.
