Let's Dance!

Lauren's really getting into dancing. It's fun to watch her start jumping and twirling around the room. I observe that she likes to watch her reflection in the TV or mirror. It doesn't matter the song, she can boogie to anything. I have to be a little careful though that she doesn't get carried away and step on her brother. This particular day I had to catch her in action because as the song started she wanted to engage Owen (aka Owie)and ran over and grabbed his arms. LET'S DANCE! She gently swayed him side to side and he adoringly smiled up at her. She's quite the entertainer, but sometimes her volume is a little loud. She gets in his face and yells, "Hi, Owie!" She's great with her brother overall. I can't wait to see how they'll interact when they get older. I pray that they are the best of friends!

Ready to go

Cory was visiting New York and we were getting ready to take the kids on a walk to the park. I was running around getting drinks and other items when Cory stopped me and said that Lauren was ready to go. She pointed toward the end of the driveway.

What do you know...Lauren had taken her stroller to the end of the driveway, hopped in and buckled herself. She sat there patiently feeding her baby all READY TO GO. Since when does a child go on ahead and get themselves ready? It made me laugh so. I wish she was as independent and determined when it comes to potty training.

Walmart Poster Child

We entered Walmart and the gentleman at the door gave us not one, but a whole string of stickers. I didn't think it could hurt anything and so Lauren carried them all around the store and home. I was making dinner and had Owen in the dining room on the boppy. He was excitedly watching his sister. The next time I peeked on them I observed that Lauren had found a use for her stickers.

Owen was being made a WALMART POSTER CHILD. She was peeling and sticking him all over. I just had to laugh and run grab the camera. How adorable! I promise Owen that one day I will let him beat her up (just once) for all the things she does to him.
