The Girls

Julia has been steering clear of chemicals recently. She's been really good actually. Sarah and Julia keep telling each other that they love each other and then they'll hug really tight; it's really sweet. The girls have also started there "nastics"; this is when they do somersaults in the yard. Julia likes' to knock the chairs over and pull herself up on the top legs and then flip. Julia is still not interested in potty training. I don't want to force her into it but I would like her to start. Dann read some where that the average age for girls is three. That seems to be the time where Sarah really had it. Julia is just very set in her ways and if she doesn't want to do something she wont. But she does seem to go to her room and close the door when she poops so maybe that's a start.
Mom and Dad are so good with the kids. Dad got a soccer ball to play with the girls and they had a lot of fun with it this morning. Mom dropped me off at ballet yesterday and took the girls to the mall. I have to say that I do have a lot more time for myself then before we came here. It's very important for sanity sake and if I'm healthier then I'll be better for the girls as well.
Sarah is getting to be more grown up all the time. It's so strange to me she really isn't a baby any more. This past week she's been singing Twinkle Little Star at bed time the whole way through. Before she would sing one line over and over again but she really has the song down now. She also sings her alphabet now and "reads". She recites the story from her memory as she's turning the pages. It just amazes me.

Wow! Thanks for keeping us all posted on the girls' developments. I just can't get over how different they will be next time I see them! So how was ballet?

I miss them so much. I was totally reminising about when the girls were babies yesterday while I was putting their bassinet together for my guy! I am so glad I have that I think it is really special to share in those memories.

They seem so big now I can't wait to see them again!!!!!
