Saturday

This week has gone by fast, though I can't recall much of what we did. I forgot that Big Sis had Tae Kwon Do yesterday, so we didn't go. Little Sis is still waking up in the middle of the night. The other day Daddy heard her and when he walked into her room she was laying in her crib, laughing. She has a Fisher Price rainforest toy strapped to her crib and she had turned it on, giggling. We think maybe she just doesn't want to miss out on anything, so she keeps waking up.

Today Daddy worked and I took the girls to Goodwill. Big Sis had saved $5 of her allowance and was anxious to spend it. There weren't many good toys to chose from but she ended up buying a shovel for her sandbox (her old one broke). I found two Elmo books for Little Sis.

After Goodwill we went to the library. Big Sis got some Dora dvds, Little Sis got an Elmo dvd (of course) and I got 2 People magazines. Little Sis ate a lot at lunch, which was encouraging. She is tiny but I need to stop stressing over it. I think she will just always be petite. I read somewhere that a lot of the Hunan girls (where Little Sis is from) are usually only 5' tall as adults.

After our nap I took the girls into the basement. We have two plastic slides down there and both Big Sis and Little Sis love going down the slides. We also have a school desk, tricycles, sit and spin, and many other toys for them to play with.

Big Sis drew these pictures. The first one is a rainbow.


This one is what she calls "a happy monster."



And this one is Elmo. She wrote his name and dedicated it to Little Sis.

...Although fingers work good too.
