Delightful girls

"Louise was delightful," Mummy told Daddy after she & Louise returned from the grocery store. "What's 'lightful?" asked Louise. "I'm light?"

It was a wonderful weekend. On Friday night, everyone slept (until 5am!). Louise was in a good mood much of the time, saying "oh MAN" or "not okay" when frustrated, rather than screaming. Charlotte has attempted to walk at least twice this weekend. She fell immediately both times, but she was adorable whilst doing it.

We've included one of Louise's artistic efforts with the camera.

Mother's Day

The girls were very good to Mommy on Sunday. Charlotte & Claire made cards, and Louise made a birdhouse. The girls & Daddy also worked with friends Harry & David to make cookies for Mommy. Daddy's friend Diane and her husband & baby also came over on Sunday.

Louise is a little girl who should have a curl in the middle of her forehead. Today she was very very good. She played nicely with her sisters and was full of wit and wisdom.

Louise the Entrepreneur

Louise set up a "dentical" school in the pack-n-play on Saturday (a mix of dental and medical, from what we could gather). "Claire, you work for me," she informed her sister. Louise was also busy asking Mommy and Daddy what their favourite ice cream was and then serving it to them. Next door to the school, of course, was a recycling centre where Louise would take the recycler's picture and give him a piece of candy. "We need to recycle all this," Louise said, gesturing to Daddy's computer and box of papers.

Louise also had her haircut this weekend. She agreed to keep her hair bow in for at least 2 hours!

Louise continued to use her balance bike and was so confident that she wanted to do a one legged balance which she called "the chicken".

Interesting quotes!

The week has continued to go well. Thanks to Ms Meg at daycare for taking the photos below. Louise has been on form this week with some memorable quotes:

Whilst riding her bike - "When you fall off (your bike) your head falls off if you don't wear a helmet."
Whilst swinging - "Daddy Stop! I need my butt here and there!"
"I have a cough because I speak German"

Steady progress

It has been a good week with Charlotte and Claire continung to get ever close to walking unaided. Claire continues to impress with her climbing ability up the stairs. The only thing we wish Charlotte and Claire would do is routinely sleep through the night without interruption - that will come (we hope!)

Louise's friend Katie came round last weekend and we had a good few hours playing around the house.
