Quick Kiddo Update
Quick update but I have no pics because the camera's batteries are dead. :(
We've spent the weekend looking for a new couch. Which I am super excited about, but discouraged by how hard it is to find what I want. The one I've had in mind all this time from Crate & Barrel is not carried there anymore, and the closest Room & Board store (where there are quite a few sofas I like) is in New York City. Hmpf. But I'm determined to not make a quick, convenient decision - I've waited so long for a new couch, I want to be very happy with what I choose.
Hannah has taken to calling us "Mom" and "Dad" this week instead of "Momma" and "Daddy" which sounds incredible old coming from her little voice. She's grown so much this summer that I've had to buy all new clothes and shoes for preschool next week. She is sprouting like a weed, and every dress we bought at the beginning of the summer is well above her knees now. She's SUPER into princesses these days - princess EVERYTHING. And boy does this girl have the gift of gab. I mean she puts me to shame. I have to periodically institute "no talking times" so I can think clearly for a few minutes each day. But Trapp & I are just so pleased with just how darn happy she is. She's a positive kid and that can take you far in this world.
Lucy is becoming more and more the toddler. It's very clear that she understands a lot of what we say now and she LOVES running little errands for us: "Throw this in the garbage." "Put the oatmeal box in the cabinet." "Put the shoes in the shoe box." She claps for herself when she accomplishes these small tasks and looks so proud.
One more week before the rush of school for me and Hannah. It will shake up our schedule quite a bit, but I'm excited to be a bit more busy. I'm at my best when I have a full plate!
