So Sweet...

My girls are both a little under the weather and have been for the past couple of days.  And although this round of feeling yucky has Zoë feeling especially miserable (Poppi seems to be taking it all in stride), she still manages to be so sweet to her sister.  

I was giving Zoë some water out of a cup with "a big girl straw" and even though she wasn't finished taking her turn, she stopped and said "Poppi's turn."  It made me cry then and tears come again as I type this.  Her tenderness towards her sister always pulls at my heartstrings.

I Love You...



Zoë said "I Love You" to her daddy and then to me for the first time.  Took my breath away.

23 months and Stringing Beads


The girls turned 23 months old today!  Oh my, I can't believe they will be TWO next month!  Poppi is honing her beading skills as you can see.  She put the beads on all by herself one time before I took this video of her yesterday (03/04/13).  She is so proud of herself and so am I.  Zoë is catching on but still prefers the  written word to all things physical :)

Building Blocks...2/28/2013


Notice when Zoë picks up two blocks that look like letters, she says the letters.  "U" and "S."  She knows all of her letters by sight and some of the sounds that go with them.  She can name them in their correct order or in random order.  Poppi knows them, but prefers to let Zoë say them for her ;)
