Awoke this morning to rather loud squealing and laughter from the twins room! Should've known that would mean an energy packed day! :) Even little Abigail seemed to get the memo (as she's even now still awake at 9:45pm.)
Lots of book reading this morning as usual. I also had the twins "write" their own thank you notes to Mrs. Barbara for their Halloween gift bags! That was going so well....I had kept the finger paint from getting on anything..only to realize that Annabelle had a pen and took it down by her side to " decorate" the fabric on the dining room chair. I'll have to pick up some hairspray as that usually gets the ink out, or it may be time to recover the chairs ( in all my spare time) LOL! Oh well, the notes turned out cute! I even got Abigail to hold still long enough to get a little handprint on a card and not have her eat the paint. Then we headed out to take Shane into school at the start of his second class. He had complained of not feeling well and not sleeping. It was odd that he went to bed at 10pm when he normally is up until around 11:30. Sure hope he's not getting sick for the trip! agh!
When we got home, I opened the van side door to find Annabelle sitting with her little fingers laced together and laying casually in her lap! It's so funny to see such adult mannerisms in her. She is quite the grown up (ha ha) sometimes, When I went to change her from the car ride, she laid down in front of me and calmly said "cream" as if she were putting in her order for how she'd prefer to be diapered. "Cream" is what we call desitin diaper rash ointment. So of course, I put cream on her..who knows, maybe she was feeling a little irritated?
She slept through my cooking a pecan pie this afternoon, but made sure she was up in time to "cook" dinner! She sat on the counter and poured all the ingredients in a large bowl for a chicken casserole. She even stirred it all up. I poured it in the casserole dish and put it in the oven for her. I told her that, "Annabelle had done a good job cooking dinner". She then said " I cooked". She told her Daddy that when he got home too! She did a good job! Now if she can just learn to wash the pots and pans! :)
Cade was adorable today too! It cracks me up to hear the two of them playing and giggling when they think I'm not around at all..or don't even care if I'm around. They played in the foyer with a little tunnel and tent and just hooted for a good 20 minutes. I called my mom to just let her listen. His belly laugh has to be the best I've ever heard! I am so blessed that they aren't at the fighting phase yet and rarely argue. Usually if they do, its just a quick squabble over wanting the same toy, but it doesn't last long. I love to see how the twin factor affects their sharing ability. If one of them has a bowl full of goldfish or some snack, the other will come up and start munching with them and its just kind of expected between them that what one of them has, the other one should too. The fussing happens when one tries to totally take what the other has. Thank goodness it hasn't happened too much yet! Holding my breath! Annabelle was squatting over his bowl today and picked up a goldfish and stuck it in his mouth in between her bites. He giggled and drooled some of it out. ick! She's lucky she got out with all her fingers. LOL! Have to enjoy the sweet moments to help get through the tough ones.
He also enjoyed spinning himself in a circle today until he got dizzy. He would laugh and fall down! The actress of course had to come fall down too even though she clearly had not spun enough to be all that dizzy! Little drama queen! He ;ater walked over to the fireplace screen and said "hot" even though there was no fire in it. I said, "yes, it is, Cade man! Hope he always thinks so! :) So try to keep them safe!!
Abigail is just mashable! Lots of grins and coos! She rolled over from her back to her tummy today!!! SHe has been able to go the other way for along time, but this direction is a 7mth skill for a baby without Down's! Whoo hoo! So proud! Had to call Daddy at work!
Shane snuck her a little of the sweet mushy part of the pecan pie tonight. Just enough to get a taste! Oh my! That little tongue went to town..licking her lips..over and over again! She just smiled so big at him as if to say, "thank you"! You're the best! .....He is!
We have an early wellness 6 mth check up with her pediatirican in the morning! Hope she isn't due any shots but we probablby won't be so lucky! fun fun!
Better get some rest. I've stopped and started typing do other things and now its 11:45 already. agh!
Sweet dreams!
