Here are a few highlights from the past month. Ava finished soccer and earned her first trophy......very exciting! Sophia went potty for almost a week, I went and bought panties (Chihuahua panties because they loved the Beverly Hills Chihuahua movie) and now she just says, "No thank you potty, I don't like it, I'll watch you go potty" ugh!
Sophia is talking so much, it's unbelievable. She recognizes several letters of the alphabet, all of her colors, shapes, etc. She is in love with the Wonder Pets right now and she will tell you, "I like Linny best." (Linny is the hamster). Sophia is infatuated with the Halloween section at Target (just like her big sister was). The other day Sophia said, "Oh my gosh, we have to go to Target to the see the spooky stuff." Her other favorite thing to say now is "for the love of pete" (thank you maw maw) and "socka bocka" which none of know what it means, but she thinks it is hilarious!
Ava has been very busy in preschool. She had a great report at Parent/Teacher conferences. She is very outgoing and seems to often gravitate towards the boys in her class. More than one parent of a boy in her class has said that their son told them, "I don't like girls, only Ava."
Ava told me last week that if we have a fire, we need to call 911 and she now recites the Pledge of Allegiance which made her Ta Ta very happy.
She also voted for the first time with daddy the other day. A few days later she said, "Mommy, I like Obama, but why is Obama not a girl?" Girl power!
Sophia is doing really well at Little Gym, she galloped for the first time last week. Ava is really enjoying dance class and can't wait to wear her Ariel costume to class tomorrow.
I have attached a few pics from the pumpkin patch (sophie wanted to ride the hay ride all day), making apple pies with Aunt Bev (which Ava had her plastic jaguar toy help her make), playing in the leaf pile and meeting Barbie at the Toys R Us grand opening this past weekend. The girls LOVED meeting Barbie since they sing every song from Barbie and the Diamond Castle together. They also met Spiderman. Ava was excited to tell her "boy" friends at preschool that she met Spiderman, however Sophia was petrified of him. That night before bed I could hear her on the baby monitor saying, "I no like a spiderman, only barbie the best."
I will update the blog next week after Trick or Treat!
