Girls

This week we have again been amazed at how girly our 2 year old is. We don't understand where these behaviors have come from. She is so into clothes, jewelry, and purses it is ridiculous. Lately when Aunt Chelsea has come home from work at lunch time Grace has insisted on putting on her shoes and wearing them around until Chelsea has to go back to work and is forced to rip them off of Grace's feet with lots of screaming and crying. The other night Mike had put pajamas on the kids and Benson was wearing this oversized t-shirt that Grace had worn one night in the recent past. Grace was screaming and crying and carrying on and we had no IDEA why she was so upset. She was sitting on the stairs and Benson walked past her and she grabbed onto his shirt and wouldn't let go and then bit it and held onto it with her teeth. It was then that I realized she was shrieking "My turn, my turn." She was pitching a huge fit because she wanted to wear that random t-shirt. Our kids are 3 and 2 and we've already had a fight over clothes! Anyways, I told Benson he could have some chocolate chips if he would give up the shirt, which he was more than happy to do. Then tonight Grace was downstairs and decided to go through Aunt Chelsea's closet. She found a yellow shirt that she convinced Aunt Sarah to put on her and she hasn't taken it off all night. She wore it to bed. Girls!

In other news Sabrina has learned to wave this week. She is such a cute baby. I'll have to try and get some video of it and post it for all to see. All 3 kids have had a cold with runny nose and cough this week, but other than excessive nose wiping it hasn't been that bad. I've decided I'm going to develop a belt with a space for clean tissue, dirty tissue, and hand sanitizer - that would have really made my life easier this week.


Aunt Jenny with the kids - right after we took this picture Sabrina got excited and was waving her arms and smacked Ben and Grace both in the face at the same time - pretty funny
