I hate that i've let this lapse for so long. So much has gone on the the girls have grown so much. So many fun/cool/funny things happen every day and this is such a great way for me to memorialize it all for myself and for all of you that read this that I have got to get back to keeping up.
The girls are now 3 years and 9 months. They are great, smart as whips and hillarious. Mia is still much more laid back and easy going while lily is still dominant, pushy and stubborn. Mia does tend to be more "emotional" (i.e. whiny). She'll cry/whine at the drop of a hat about everything while Lily holds it in more or states/demands what's wrong or what she wants. Lily is VERY self concious when around others and I often see her holding back/not participating in things like dancing while Mia is out there having fun and not caring about anything. They both still LOVE to sing and do it all the time. One of their current favorite songs is "Puff the magic dragon."
We've had a number of medical goings on this year; another siezure for Mia, another asthma attack for Mia. They both have seen a bevy of specialists regarding their petite size, however all outcomes have been good, and we know they will eventually grow and catch up. Actually they will both be taller than me.
They can both write their names, know all of the letters and the sounds they make. They can tell you what letter a word sounds with and even sound out some words.
They love to tell stories and they both talk about the goings on a "their castles" all the time. They talk about their mommies, sisters, brothers, cousins, grandma's, pop's, pets, etc at their castles and tell fantastical tales. It's quite funny.
A couple of weeks ago Lily said "Mommy's in charge. Mommy makes the rules and daddy plays with us. But both of you are the best." Gotta love that girl. Always honest.
We went on vacation to Long Beach Island a week and a half ago and it was great. You don't realize over the year the toll that the stresses of daily life take until you get away for a bit. The time together really helped us come back together and bond a little closer. About half way through the trip, Lily suddenly became a momma's girl which she hasn't been for a long time. Cuddling with me and wanting me to do things for her all the time. It has been nice since usually Mia is attached to me and Lily is more independant. I've always tried hard to make sure to keep things even, but it's hard when Mia is such a mommy's girl all the time and Lily is happy to have some space.
Will make an effort to get on here regularly even if just to update with a funny story from the day or a funny line one of the girls have said.
