Last weekend we went to the Walking Bridge and it was a lot of fun. We'd not been before but the girls really liked it.
We pushed them up the big hill to the bridge but then gave them free reign. They made it almost all the way across before wanting back in.
Then we had some playground fun!
We also did some sand art this week.
Maddie also got to go to her first real tea party with grandma, great-aunt and grandma (and me)!
(Sydney was evacuated by nana because she refused to sit down like a lady. She stood in her high chair the entire time until she had to leave.) Maddie enjoyed her own teapot (full of pink lemonade) and all of the goodies on the tea tray.
Speaking of Sydney, I had her school orientation this week. In her two year old room, she will be focusing on self help, toilet training, colors and numbers. Self help includes pulling down/putting up her pants, taking off and putting on her shoes, taking off and putting on her coat, etc. She also attends chapel each week and learns a Bible verse each month.
I picked Syd up and we had dinner together before her orientation. It's nice when I'm able to have some 1x1 time with each girl.
Since Chris was working (it's contract week - he's been home late every night - MEH!) Maddie had a big girl night with grandpa and grandpa. She had a terrible time, as you can see.
Maddie pulled the toilet out the other day and Sydney LOVES sitting on it. She has no idea what she's supposed to do in it, but she loves to take her diaper off, sit down, and then jump up shouting, "ALL DONE." I'm not really going to press the issue until she shows real interest though. Maddie was right at two and a half when she decided she was ready and she trained super easily. Hopefully Sydney is the same way!
Next up: Sydney turns 2! We say bye-bye to the pacifier (it is literally only allowed in her crib now but the time has come!!) and we start potty-training. I am excited but a little sad too. I feel like we're leaving the "baby" era.
