Language


Do you want to learn to speak 3 year old? Sure, we all do. But who has time for boring drills or memorization? With Rosetta Stone: 3 Year Old, however, on your first day you'll be saying words like:

- Old McDonald's: Any fast food restaurant, whether it is actually McDonalds or not
- Forsmithias: Any yellow flower, except dandelions
- Last Morning: An indeterminate amount of time usually - but not necessarily - in the past. Can refer to any hour of the day as well, from actual morning to the dead of night

Stressful week at home this past. Thanks to a project at work I spent what seemed like about 80 hours in the office getting some servers rebuilt, while Jenn took care of the girls almost exclusively while battling a cold/fever as well. Get's better to, as I'm in KC this weekend for training. Jenn, the girs and I are going to be taking a mini vacation up here to KC at the end of May, though, so some relaxation coming up. Well, as much relaxation as you can get with two 3 year olds at least.

Girls for their part are continuing to grow and develop like weeds. Probably 99% potty trained at this point. Sometimes the pooey thing is a bit of a problem, and there is an accident every once in a while, but more often than not they're running off to the bathroom on their own, with a shout of intent. We don't really do a good job of keeping track of their height or anything, but every once in a while I'll be struck at how tall they look or how heavy they feel.

Kayla continues to be the one most concerned about what she's wearing. Usually wants to be in a dress, always very concerned about being in a skirt or having the right shirt. Not uncommon for her to change clothes 2 or 3 times in the evenings. Once she learns about clothes matching and styles it'll be all over. Seems like she might have a Daddy's Girl streak in her too; always quick to say that she liked basketball/football/Jupiter/whatever boring program Daddy watches those rare times he commandeers the TV. Favorite TV right now: Doc McStuffins.

Megan cares about fashion sometimes, but not nearly as much as Kayla. Flat refused every dress Mommy offered the other day in favor of a long-sleeve KU shirt and grey pants. Likes the iPad/laptops more than Kayla, though both girls have cooled on the iPad somewhat lately. She likes rough-housing more than Kayla, and is always ready to be thrown around or "get" Daddy. Favorite TV right now: Little Einsteins.

Plum Tuckered Out

Kayla and Megan were playing around a lot in their room before FINALLY collapsing and going to sleep.

Kayla apparently didn't make it into bed....
