Dance off

Caroline showing off her moves. Watch out Brooke.

21

Almost forgot.....but I am only doing these 'monthly' updates for 3 more months!

I cannot believe that Caroline will be two in just 86 short days!

At 21 months, Caroline is one busy girl. She is always on the move...getting into something (usually the pantry or freezer...has to maintain that 95%!). She is officially in a toddler big girl bed and loves it-especially the pillow. She has also learned that she can get out of this bed and loves to pile all of her babies/books/toys in there with her at nap time. Luckily she forgets this ability come bed time and stays tucked inside all night.

She is becoming more and more verbal. I can understand her completely..but we are working on the outside world understanding what "daba, daba, daba" actually means. She refuses to say Brooke and Caroline. I feel that this is more to spite me (since I want her to so bad) then not actually being able to say these names.

Caroline loves to take her clothes off. It has happened more then once, and really more then twice in public. The other day, while at my work, she left to help my mom in the warehouse and only moments later, appeared without her dress. I am not sure who to say she takes after...but I am going to go with Aunt Maggie.

She is getting better and better at being away from me. While I love it...it makes me a bit sad. I checked on her (in secret of course) at the YMCA the other day and she was having a great time! Was not even looking for me at all. Totally fabulous...but growing up :( Brooke has been in pre-school for 2 days now and I am loving our one-on-one time together. I think that she is too..it is all about her after all!!

All in all...I think that this is my favorite stage. But...it does make me miss the baby stage. Can you say Baby Fever???!!! It is in full effect I think. Caroline would make a cute big sister right?? :)

Happy 21 Caroline!!

Preschool

Today was Brooke's first day of preschool!! She is so big right?? I was a bit misty eyed the other day thinking about her being in school 3 days a week, but today we all held it together. Maybe it was the fact that we were rushing around...not used to this school schedule stuff!!

Yep, everyone is looking sharp but mom in her gym wear.
PS-totally not my monogram. Thanks for the free *sample Amy!
It's like I have a secret identity...

I just picked her up and she said she had a GREAT day!
