Player of the week

(By default, it was the last week. But still. I told him he had to try his best every game, and he definitely did.)

Charlie

This little boy has been four for a few months (he is already talking about being five soon...) but I got behind on his physicals a couple years ago, and since his annual date was close to Felicity's physical last year, I started doing them at the same time.  So, I present my darling four year old.

This boy is so sweet.  He is funny and witty and smart.  He is very detail oriented and always has his ears perked, waiting for something he can use.  He never forgets.

There is nothing like snuggling with this little man, and he doesn't mind indulging his mommy every day.  He makes me feel loved, and I love him back, so very, very much.



Stats: 41 inches (46 percentile) and 38 pounds (59th percentile).

Felicity

My little girl is two years old.  I called her my baby at the doctor's office today and he said "she's not so much a baby anymore."

I know. 

This girl makes me happy every single day.  She converses like a five year old.  She orders me around like the queen of England.  She really, truly thinks that she is in charge, and no one is willing to argue with her.

She makes our lives so full.


Stats: 34 inches (53rd percentile) and 33 lbs (97th percentile).

Choo Choo

Did you know that I can't swim?
It's true.  I can't.  I flunked out of several years of swim lessons until my parents retired me.
I hope not to pass on this problem to my children.  Therefore, I put Charlie in swim lessons last year.

He does not like swimming.


However, the other day we went swimming and Felicity lowered herself calmly into the deep end, and then "choo choo-ed" around the entire perimeter of the pool.  Then, she got out at the steps, and went back for a second time.

Maybe we aren't all lost causes?

(Charlie will resume swim lessons this summer.  There will be bribes.)

Videos

Since Greg left, I have been taking video a lot more so that he doesn't miss out on too much with the kidlets.  So, here are three, in case anyone else wants to see my peeps.

Charlie singing at the church talent show.  Please note Felicity, singing along in the background.  (And I think someone was telling her to go on the stage, haha.)  May 18, 2012



Felicity doing her ABC's.  May 18, 2012.



Charlie reciting a scripture that he had memorized for church.  May 6, 2012.

 A signal that she will attempt a body piercing in the future?  Oy.

Skyfari

 This orangatan and Felicity were good friends.  He was chewing on sticks, and he kept opening his mouth to show them to her.  Charlie was playing with a little girl and wouldn't sit with him for very long, but Felicity would have stayed there all afternoon.
