I am just in love with our two little munchkins. They are just so much fun and they make everyday an adventure and more exciting. The other day, I washed our bedspread and laid it on the floor after taking it out of the dryer. Well, Vanessa and Owen soon found themselves wrapped up in it. It was sure cute watching them have so much fun with a blanket.
Vanessa continues to amaze me. She is super smart and has even started to read. She has some princess books that we read at night before bed and just in the past month, I’ve been having her read them to me. She has them mostly memorized but it is helping her connect the words on the pages with what she is saying. She has progressed a lot over the past 6 months. She loves going to preschool and has made lots of cute little friends. She is such a bigger helper around the house. We have started the kids with doing chores. She loves to clean the bathroom and does a good job at it. She especially loves cleaning the mirrors. She also loves wiping the table after dinner. She is very excited for her new baby sister to come. She asks me each day when the baby is coming. She loves to watch any Barbie themed movie. She could watch them all day long if we let her. She also really enjoys being a big sister to Owen. She loves to play with him and I am glad that they get along so well.
Owen is just the cutest little boy ever! He is now 2 1/2 years old! He is definitely a Momma’s boy. He loves to be cuddled and I love to cuddle him. He has such a fun personality. When he gets excited, he prances while walks. It is just too cute. He also loves to pretend that he is a dinosaur and will roar all around the house. He is very active and loves to run, climb, and jump whenever he can. Just these past few days, getting him to sleep at night has been easier. We have finally had to resort into gating his bedroom door so he can’t get out. He hasn’t figured out how to climb over it yet and we hope he doesn’t for a while. He will cry out for either Mom or Dad at first but then within a few minutes calms down and goes to sleep. Hopefully we can get it down before the baby comes. He says the funniest things and loves to tell stories. He likes to use his hands to help tell the stories. He will move and shake them about. It is fun to listen to him.
We are grateful to have been given such wonderful kids!
