Three's a Charm

We're all doing well. Both girls had their school physicals today and are healthy and, of course, advanced in their skills. =) Both are also in about the 30th percentile for height and weight, and both had a great time wearing the headphones and pushing the button during the "hearing game."

Kai is also growing so fast and a picture will be forthcoming tomorrow. I promise.

So my 3 funny stories from Avery in the last 24 hours:

1. Last night at dinner, Avery (who loves to sing) started singing a song in gibberish, which was pretty funny. When she finished, she said matter-of-factly, "now I'm going to sing a song in Spanish." We all started cracking up, and then asked her what language the previous song was in, and she said, "English." Ah, of course. So she commenced with her Spanish song, which was cute,m but sounded exactly like the English version. I guess not to her.

2. This afternoon, the girls were making "soup" out of water, flour, brown sugar, salt and pepper. It sort of made a big mess. When they finished, Audrey was holding her ingredient bowl with the extra flour while she wiped the wet floor with her foot on a towel next to the couch. Do you see where this is going? In the next moment, flour was all over the couch. I got out the vaccuum cleaner and vaccuumed it with the hose. No problem. But then the girls wanted to try using the hose. I left it with them and walked away to finish cleaning the mess in the other room (where we had started before I got smart to move them to the art table). Anyway, after a minute, I heard Avery say, "Mommy, look at this." I didn't look immediately. My mistake. After about 15 more seconds, I walked to where she was, and she was vaccumming Kai, who was sitting in his bouncer. Sorry buddy. Thankfully he looked unfazed.......

3. Tonight, the girls were eating peaches after supper. Audrey finished hers first and went to sit with Iain on the couch to read a book. Avery saw that books were being read, so she put her peach down and ran to jump on the couch. Iain stopped her as she was about to climb up and said, "whoa, are your hands clean?" So with a very straight face, she just said, "It's okay. I'm going to wipe them on the couch." Um, exactly. At least she's honest! =)
