February Little Things

 2.1.16
We were talking about Grandma coming to babysit while I go to a rebuild event.  Eva got so excited and said "oh, I love her!

I love seeing flowers blooming at McKinley Drive, they are beautiful but they make me miss being there more.

Ally finally passed off her last safety skill at school, she finally mastered tying her shoes!  I have to admit we didn't practice with her, she practiced and practiced all on her own

2.10.16
The kids were playing outside, Eva came in sad about some disagreement with Ally.  A few minutes later Ally came in and gave Eva some flowers she had picked.  Eva said "these make me feel better.".

These kids make me laugh, as soon as we start Netflix the assume the position.  They love these cute camp chairs (now if only we had a three seater).

2.11.16
When Eva is mad or frustrated she will grunt/grow while holding her head and stomping her foot.  I am glad she has found another outlet for her frustration besides a full blown tantrum.

2.12.16
Last night Ally let Colton sleep with her special 'StarTeddy'.  This morning Ally told me that Colton told her he liked 'Star Teddy' so he could sleep with it every night. [This only lasted two days before she reclaimed 'Star Teddy'].

These two have started fighting, not my favorite development.  One minute they are playing so cute together and the next there are tears and fighting.  Oh sibling life.

Eva likes helping me bring the garbage cans in off the street. She loves picking which color can to bring in first. Today while bringing in the can she told me "I old enough to help with garbage cans!".  Apparently we have been telling her lots of things she isn't old enough to do.

Eva loves rearranging our utensil drawer.  She was so upset when she noticed I put them all back in their right places.

2.13.16
Colton climbed out of his crib for the first time.  I highly suspect that Ally helped or encouraged him but she denies it!

Ally loves to take pictures with my phone, she is always trying to take my phone. She is obsessed with trying to learn my password.

2.13.16
Eva loves singing and usually sings Jingle Bells, The ABC Song, or No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed.

2.15.16
The girls went to Grandma;s to spend the night,  Eva's Monkey Blanky was accidently left at home.  Eva told Grandma "I upset!". (much better than a tantrum) Grandpa was kind enough to come back and get her blanky so all was made right.

  

Crazy faces at breakfast.

2.25.16
Ally said "don't tickle me", Eva rushed over and said "Don't tickle my sister!".

I am so proud of Ally, she does amazing on her spelling tests.

2.25.16
Colton got into the bathroom twice today.  Both times he was "cleaning: the toilet with Ally's toy broom.

We have a climber, and I am not too happy about this development.

2.27.16
Eva said "My tea party ruined!" after COlton tried grabbing everything off her table.

2.28.16
Eva says "Hey baby" all the time (sound more like "hey bebe")

I am loving the blossoms everywhere, this is a gorgeous spring.

Colton is such a handful at church.  It is a good thing he is so handsome because I spend all three hours wrestling with him.  We are counting down the days until he can go to nursery!

Eva found some scissors and used them on a couple of books.  I was so mad! She was convinced it wasn't a big deal and we could fix it with some tape. We were able to fix one but this Dr. Seuss book will never be the same.
