Big bites

Lucy is typically our better eater. Even though she is tinier. She eats more variety (ie something besides fruit and carbs that Harper lives on) and usually more quantity.

The other night she was taking big bites of her meatloaf


While Harper waved her fork around.


Tonight I found a dinner that they both loved. Chicken sausage from Central Market and Butternut squash polenta. I thought for sure it would bomb because it would be too spicy or flavorful, but they kept asking for "more sausage".

We decided they look like they could be sisters


We each have a blonde

Interesting conversations

Now that the girls are speaking a little better, we have been having some interesting conversations.

Today on the way home from MDO

me: Lucy, what did you do at school today
Lucy: Cry
me: Cry? Why did you cry?
Lucy: Mommy left

Ouch.

Later that afternoon.

me: whoohee. Who poopied?
Lucy: Harper
Harper: Lucy
pause
Harper: Me! I have biiiig poopy. Clean it.

Dropoff Report

Fervent hugs and a shaky lip from Lucy. Tears from Harper. Lucy looked on the verge of tears at pickup and gave me another meaningful hug.

They have a new classmate- a rat named Becky. Today poor Becky had a bloody foot, I guess she had gotten a hangnail. A rat is a far cry from the bunny rabbit or even guinea pig i was hoping for. Around here rats are eviscerated and left on the front mat. Hopefully, that won't happen if we have to take Becky home over Christmas break.

Sisterly love

Tonight on the way home from a friends house who graciously hosted us for dinner, Harper was upset because she didn't have po po (pacifier). She cried about halfway home. At one point I looked in the review at Lucy who was looking very concerned at Harper. When we got home Lucy piped up "Home. I get Harper po po." And she insisted on giving it to her. And then hugged her. It was so sweet it almost brought tears to my eyes. And then she viciously knocked it out of her mouth, so she could give it to her again.
