Until It Sleeps...

The second go-round at the swimming experiment went 100% better than the first. After some gentle coaxing...i.e. look at the claw marks on Dad's shoulders, the girls really took to the water. Even so much as to splash and get water all over their faces and laugh about it. They each have this little boat floaty thing that they sit in and just chill. It was so good to see Allie floating and getting to move her legs around so freely. Back on Terra-Firma it is much harder for her :( (Sidebar: who invented "emoticons"? Whoever it was, please Google thier address and leave a note here...I have a visit to make...and my only luggage will be sock full of nickels!)

Both girls are still battling the "bug" or whatever parents say when they know their kids are sick but are given the brush off medicine by the Pediatrician...Amoxicylin. Amoxicylin is like the noncommittal guy you girls once dated. I love you..BUT not in that full throttle slap-happy love. More like the "you remind me of my sister" kind of love. Not quite sure what good either one of them do!?

I almost hate admitting this but (if you aren't raising at least two children on the exact same age...don't judge) our girls have finally and successfully I might add, gone to sleep directly to their crib two nights in a row. It is officially a habit! Up until two nights ago they fell asleep in their chairs and then Mom and I transported them to their cribs. Not any more!!!

PS: 24 Days 16 Hours 59 Minutes 24 Seconds until 80,000 to the power of 12 gets fired up!

Allie looking stylish in her pink Boonie cap.

Brooke getting her floaty ready for some serious pool chillin!

Think we left them in the pool a little to long?

I know why the caged baby cries!!

Playing with all those toys can take a toll. Nothing a good nap can't fix!

Brooke not exactly understanding the concept of a sippy cup.

Allie giving her best "Norm" as she is served some bubbly juice!

If I...just....reach...a bit further....Tigger AND Pooh will be mine. Rats...foiled again!
