A Day in the Life (a Beatles reference...get it, get it?)

They got themselves in, but had a hard time trying to get out.



Well we officially have 3 walkers and 3 talkers in our house now. Rebecca decided she was tired of Natalie getting all the fun toys first and took off walking...and climbing. They can both get themselves up on the couch now, which is a little scary. I also had my first experience of trying to keep three kids who want to go in three different directions in one place. A little hard to do by myself. :) Natalie is gaining on Rebecca in words. She says "hi" "bye bye" "baby" and "uh-oh". Rebecca has added "no" and "stop" to her budding vocabulary. I have no idea where she might have heard these words. John is becoming a little Beatles fan. In my quest to find kid appropriate songs that won't drive me insane we put on a Beatles CD. He is addicted. He walks around the house singing, "Sgt. Peppers Loney Harce Tub Ban" and yelling, "Get back Jo Jo!" While the lyrics themselves are free of profanity there are a few references I hope he doesn't ask about..."Mommy, do I get high with a little help from my friends?" Hopefully as a 3 year old he will have a LONG time before I have to explain things like this!
Natalie and Rebecca are starting to really interact with each other, and have started comforting each other. If Natalie is crying Rebecca will come over and stroke her hair. If Rebecca is upset, Natalie will go find her blankie and bring it to Becca. It is adorable to watch them care for each other.
John has been going to preschool summer camp for a few weeks this summer and he loves it. Each week has a different theme. This week it is Seasons/Weather. There are art projects every day...I'm running out of room to display his masterpieces.
