We took the girls for their free birthday lunch at Red Robin today (if you register online they send both kids and adults free food certificates). The girls LOVED it. They got balloons, a free kids meal, a sundae to share, and a birthday song. The girls didn't know what to think of the four adults singing and clapping "Happy Birthday"! Apparently though they caught the birthday spirit, because they bounced and giggled and caused general mayhem in the cribs for about 30 minutes before going to sleep at naptime!
The girls are saying more and more words and stringing them together into mini sentances. We are always amused! Here Addie is telling her stuffed animals to "sit down and eat breffast". Alex gets up earlier than I do to get ready for work, Addie is usually next (Alex gets her up) and then she comes and finds me in bed. She's become quite insistent in the mornings. Here are some samplings of what she says to me first thing:
"Light on!"
"Mommy, out (off bed)" - said while peeling the covers back
"Mommy, eat breffast"
"Mommy, pants on!" - I sleep in a t-shirt
and on the sweet mornings - "Mommy, huggg..."
We have a fun week ahead! The girls turn 2 on Thursday, but I don't think we are "officially celebrating" until the Saturday before Easter...still working on the plans for that. We just know it won't be as grand an affair as last year...we sort of traumatized the girls with all the people! We also have MOPS, Parent's Day Out, Mommy Prayer Group, PDO at my dad's school, and nice weather to boot!
