Just another week

I am amazed that another week has gone by so fast. Our weather has remained just about perfect and the girls have continued to enjoy playing outside. Alex played soccer again this past weekend and had a great time. She loved keeping the ball away from Daddy. But then what doesn't she like to do with Daddy? Little Rory has also become quite a Daddy's girl and yells and crawls to him as soon as he walks in the door at night. It is pretty funny to watch.

Rory has mastered the art of pulling herself up on things and sometime pulling those things back down on herself. Today I caught her pulling herself up on a coffee table and then actually let go of it to get a toy. She remained on her feet for a few seconds before landing on her bottom. I have a feeling she will be up and walking before we know it. I have to admit though, I would much rather have her walking than crawling. With 3 dogs in the house I find it a little gross to have her crawling on the floor.

Alex started a toddler tumbling class on Monday. She loved every part of it except for the tumbling. Funny. She is really good on the balance beam and the trampolines and loves running the little obstacle course that the teacher set up but when it came to somersaults she refused.

Alex has also come up with a few funny comments this week. Yesterday at the park she kept taking the sand from the sandbox and putting it on the sidewalk, which resulted in us having to leave the park. Today when we got back to the park she looked at the sand on the sidewalk and said "What the heck is this doing here?".

Later in the day she was wearing a new pair of flip flops (thanks Gigi and Baba!) and I said to Alex "I love the little fish on your flip flops." She replied "Actually Mom they are not fish they are birds." You will just have to imagine her tone of voice and attitude when she was correcting me. This past weekend she came up to Rory and said "Oh Rory I love your dress. What pretty flowers it has!". Oh the things a two year old can come up with!
