Kids and Things

It's been a while since I posted last. Just the same stuff happening, really. But I guess I can update a little bit on the girls. I mean, some new stuff happens to us. We have lives (sort of.)

Phoebe has started nursery. She does really well! I never had to stay with her. She sat next to her sister at the play dough table ( I made sure to tell the leaders that she will try to eat it as soon as their backs are turned every time) and I left them. The leaders told me she cried a couple times when she noticed I wasn't there, but it never was for very long. She's easily distracted. Yesterday was her second time to nursery (we put her in a week early) and she opened up more to everyone. She talked to them. The leaders have told me that I should get Gwen's speech checked, because she's very hard to understand for a three-year-old, which amazed them because she's so "sharp." (She's the only kid there who knows her alphabet and numbers.) Phoebe's not that way, I guess. Gwen's very talkative, and I can usually figure out what she's saying, but she does have a hard time communicating with others. We'll see what happens. Anyway, back to Phoebe - she is learning her letters. She knows what letters are, but she can't see one and name it correctly. When she sees words, she points to them and says "B O I E." She's getting there! She talks a lot. She asks to sit on the potty, and she sings "Bye Bye Pee Pee, Bye Bye Poop." It's disgusting, but most potty training dvds are. She'll probably be trained before her sister. Seriously.

Gwen is in her terrible threes. She has as much energy as ever and she keeps me on my toes. She's a sweet heart, too. She loves her sister very much even though she knocks her down a million times a day. I think she's getting bored with the apartment.

Good thing, too, I guess, because we're moving. Next month we're getting out of Rexburg and moving on to something. Not sure what that something is yet, but we're moving toward it. We're staying in Idaho, that's all we know.

No pictures this time, because I have them all on facebook. Nothing to illustrate anyway. I just wanted to post to let people know we're still around, but not for long. Thank goodness!
