And boy are those wheels turning. Beckham crawled up on my lap the other day, when I was reading a novel, and looked at the book for a second, and then put his squishy little finger on the page and said "A!!" Sure enough, he was pointing at a capital A in the teeny tiny text. I was so proud, and of course think he's a genius. This little hobby of his has now evolved to finding B, R, D, and sonetimes C (as in Cookie!). He's also super into puzzles. He can tell me several numbers (zero, one, seven, six, nine, and eight). And well, I think that's pretty great--cause he's only 22 months old! :)
Lily wants to be potty trained SO bad. I think I'm going to give it a shot this weekend, because otherwise, I'll be cleaning my carpets shortly. She's figured out how to undress and remove all her clothing and "coverings" *ahem* and well, that could get a little less than sanitary. Once she's naked, she runs around saying "naked! lily! toilet! naked!" And then dissolving into a puddle of giggles. In addition, she's taken to sitting on a pillow, putting her baby sitting on one side of her, and her beloved monkey on the other side, and reading to them. She'll get the book out and tell them all the objects in the book that she recognizes, and will keep doing it for up to 30 minutes.
In addition, they're both able to say 3 syllable words/phrases, including, but not limited to "ballet shoes" "octagon" "rectangle" "basketball" "football""double-you" "happyhalloween!" and "trick-or-treat!".
Obviously, I miss my kids. I do not, however, miss my laundry. :S
More later.
Mwa!
April
PS In other news, I've lost 15 lbs. Only 12 to go! :D
PPS The picture is from halloween. My kids were garden gnomes...I'll have to post a picture of Beck with his real gnome hat--cause it has a beard and is hysterical. Isn't Lily the cutest little spritely gnome?
