Laura is 2!

It is hard to imagine that it has only been two years!

Flowers

Lily was so well named. She got flowers for her birthday that she has to take care of. She uses the watering can she and I decoupaged to water them.

Random

Matthew and Laura have a great time together. He likes her fiesty personality and she can take his rough play well. Laura calls him 'Ma-mu'. Laura is talking much more now since mum has been here. She has also learned most of her colors and shapes, which was a goal of mine for her. Granny takes Laura off in the mornings to get ready for the day while I do school with Lily. Lily read her first 'reader' book this week in phonics. So perhaps I need to have another baby to lure granny here for a few months to help move the kids on in school!!

Fairy Laura

Laura has taken to wearing her fairy costume daily. She puts it on and then runs into the living room asking for music so that she can dance. She flies around the room a few times with her arms out and then runs off some place else. She is a hard child to keep up with.

Getting ready

Granny and Lily went to see the Houston Ballet's Swan Lake on Saturday. They got all dressed up for it. They had a wonderful time and now Lily has many new dance moves to show for it! Here they are in the bathroom getting ready to go.
