Every week as I finish my blog posting I think to myself what in the world will I write about next week? It amazes me that as each new week (or two) passes I have yet another topic to share with you all.
As Alex has been getting older and starting to understand more concepts we have been trying to teach her about conserving our resources, such as electricity and paper. We remind her to turn off lights and to not turn them on when we don't need them and we try to color on both sides of our paper so we don't waste too much. In keeping with the theme I decided this year we would talk about Earth Day and do a special project to celebrate. I bought some little tiny pots with seeds and soil for Alex to plant.
She loved the project and we have enjoyed watching our plants start to grow. At the completion of our little project Alex asked me where the cake was. I couldn't understand what she meant which lead to her tears. She finally explained that Earth Day needed a birthday day cake, so off to the store we went to buy a cake mix to make a birthday cake for Earth Day. :) I guess my explanation of what the Earth is wasn't very good. Rory also enjoyed the cupcakes. Big sister Alex loves to share sweet food with Rory. It is pretty funny, everytime Alex really enjoys eating something she wants to share a bite with Rory. If I could only get her want to share her toys....
We finally made it to Baba and Gigi's house for a visit this week also. Rory was so excited to play the piano! And can she ever bang on the keys. Impressive that such a little kid can make so much noise.
Alex fell right back into the place naming the different plants out the window and looking for animals.
This week little Rory finally started to say Mama. Up until now it has all been about Dada. :)
