Watching them grow October 3, 2006
Posted by spacemom in : Life...otherwise, Kids , trackbackAn amazing thing has been happening at the spacehouse. We are becoming a true family. It is odd. The girls will run off and play. Together. For an hour or so, with NO SCREAMS. It blows my mind.
I didn’t think this would happen so soon. When do your children change from babies to talking individuals?
Ok, one still finds it necessary to defecate on herself, but she can express herself. In ways that her sister never could. This morning, Jay had to run back in the house for something.
Luna: "WAIT!"
Me: " I am just pulling the car out of the garage. I don’t like to be in the garage with the engine on"
Luna: "Wait for Daddy. Don’t leave until daddy is in the car"
Me: "I will wait"
Luna: "Good. Don’t move the car until daddy is in his seatbelt and safe"
Okay….We know who you like!
Soleil did an amazing thing yesterday. She called me into her room. She put one handle of her jump rope in her desk drawer and shut it. Then she handed me the other handle and said " I figured a way to only have one person help me jump rope" You know what? It worked. She developed an amazing way to set up a jump rope for one adult to help her. Wow.
Soleil also was having a ball at gymnastics yesterday. Until she hit her head. Ouch. I happened to be there and we hugged and I had her get back into it. She did great and did get back in. She did a move called a Penny Drop and then went to a Roundoff and did great! The teacher called everyone’s attention to the fact that she hurt herself and still came back.
They do grow. It is amazing.
