Connor is all boy. Sometimes more boy than I know what to do with. I don't really understand the need to be rough and tough and loud but apparently it is a requirement of his at this point. He has also taken a real interest in drawing recently. He draws everything from pirate ships to camp sites to foot ball games. Not only does he draw these things, you can actually tell what they are! He also likes to write things and is always asking me how to spell words and how to make the right letters. He is very eager to learn to read and we have been working on letter recognition and sounds.
Sophie is starting to enjoy "jumping". Luckily today it was only off of the car seat. Yesterday, it was off of the couch. The day before that, is wasn't jumping but rather sliding head first off the arm of the living room chair. I'm a little worried because she doesn't just do this once. But rather repeats it over and over and over!!! I know children learn by repetition but does it really take falling on your head twenty times to realize that sliding off the chair head first is going to hurt??! At least she is a good sport about it and doesn't melt down every time she falls.
Laura, like any self-respecting, almost three year old, has taken to thinking she is a princess. Some times it is a princess angle fairy but I can usually get away with just saying princess. She likes to dress accordingly (see pictures). She almost always insists on wearing a dress and her idea of a matching outfit is a far cry from what I would pick. But she is happy and warm enough so I let her wear what she picks out (most of the time).
