matching, another big girl, and a touch of blue

My Grace Moment: Brian decided last week the DVDs didn't need to have the extra sleeves on their cases for the kid movies. He has been letting the girls play with them though and they have been happy to do so even though it drives me NUTS to pick them up daily. This afternoon, Grace decided to put them back on the movies. I watched her match up the sleeve to the dvd boxes. She got them all on the first try minus one that wasn't even the drawer! Made me think about how much I loved the Memory games as a kid and how it will be fun to play those with her before too long. (She has a couple in hiding until her birthday ... shhh.) I have to say if she is like her mom though, you won't want to take her on in those games.;)
I should add the girls are on a Disney movie kick. They hardly want the tv on. They want movies on. We are working on taking turns on who picks out the next movie. Don't worry, Mermaid is still a favorite (at least we have three of them to rotate through now!)

My Sophie Moments: Sophie is now in her twin bed! We took her crib apart on Sunday. She is such a big girl and is very happy to get in and out of her bed by herself. Bed time now takes much longer since the girls both end up getting out of their beds as soon as we shut the bedroom door but they are both sleeping their own twin beds in the same room. Such big girls who are growing up so fast!!
Sophie has used the little potty twice now. She isn't tell using when she has to go but if we put her on there she will sometimes go. Yesterday she got her first potty treat. She was so proud of herself. I need to find the motivation to work on her telling us when she needs to go.

Little Boy Blue: Little boy will have a blue room. He will! We bought blue paint this past weekend. Maybe Brian will get time to paint on Friday ... maybe. I feel so behind on his room since the girls' rooms were done SO early.

hi dada, a BIG girl and a little sprinkle of blue!

Sophie's New Thing: Brian told me about this last week but I have been able to see Sophie do this several times over the past two days and it is very amusing. Sophie suddenly walks up to Brian and says "hi dada". She will say "hi dada" one, two, five, a dozen, two dozen times ... she just finds it funny. Brian tries to change up his responses by saying "hi Sophie", "hi baby", "hi sweetie", "hi baby doll", etc, etc. She won't do this anyone but daddy so it must be a special name for her to say it so much! ;)

Grace's Big Girl Move: Grace has moved into "the girl's room". Last night, she slept in her twin bed in what was formerly known as "Sophie's room" for the first time. She wasn't happy at first and it took them an hour to get to sleep but she got back in the bed and covered herself up (yes, I had to peek to make sure she was in bed when all had been quiet for awhile.) Today, she napped there and tonight she went to bed in her big girl bed without any problems. She is getting so big on us!!!

Baby Boy Purchase: Baby boy got his first blue blankets yesterday. I resisted the urge to buy some last week while at Target by myself. When we all went out last night, we couldn't do the same and came home with a package of four blue blankets. Brian opened the packaged and proceeded to cover himself in a blue blanket to "bask in the blue-ness". He then put one on my belly to "try it on". I think it is safe to say, he is little excited about the bundle of blue coming our way!;)
