2 and 1/2 and then some...

We are sorry we are so behind in our blog updates.  Now that we are in school full time, our time for blogging has really taken a hit.  We work really hard at school learning to count, learning our letters, painting, reading, playing on computers, playing on the playground, balancing, jumping and throwing in gym...doesn't leave much time for writing :).  We love our teachers Miss Jennifer and Mr. Mike and get so excited for a "school day!".  Mr. TJ teaches us in gym class and Ms. Reecha teaches us music and sings our favorite song...Riley Riley, jump up and down!  Miss Pilar teaches us art, we get mad if Daddy gets too school too early and we have to leave before its our turn to paint!  Except if "dancing guy" (translation:  one of those air filled tube men attempting to lure you into a used car lot) is outside at Friendly's.

We are now sleeping in little beds, no more cribs for us!  We find it great fun, especially at night when we are supposed to be sleeping but we sneak out of our beds to read books, look at our new fish, or take all of our socks out of the drawer.  We've created a new routine for Mommy and Daddy too and insist they "sit at the door" while we fall asleep.

We love to play together but have also started to make each other a little crazy as only sisters can do!  We are very independent and want to do everything ourselves, getting dressed, taking off our coats, putting on our shoes, getting into the car or into our chairs, feeding the fish, picking out our socks.
