My Girls

I just wanted to do a quick update on my girls. Ryan has been getting monthly updates so it is time to talk a little about Abigale and Lydia.
Abigale

-She is starting preschool in a few weeks and couldnt be more excited. She really wishes that she was going to kindergarten since most of her friends are but with her birthday in October she has to wait another year.

-She loves to learn. She can read short books and loves it when i give her "math" problems

-Abigale has to constantly be entertained. She can watch tv for a few minutes but would rather be playing a game or just following me around.

- She loves having friends over or going to their houses.

- She is so happy that she doesnt have to take naps any more and she thinks the coolest thing ever is when she gets to stay up later then Lydia. This is happening more frequently because since they share a room they will keep each other up for hours playing so we give Lydia time to fall asleep and then send Lydia to bed.

- She loves when we give her responsibility and takes it very seriously.

- She loves Ryan and is really good with him. He just lights up when he sees her.
- If she gets in trouble, she gets very upset and escalates quickly unless you just give her a hug and then she calms right down. It's funny but she loves to be loved. When I give her a hug or tell her I love her she gets so happy. Good reminder to me to do it more often.

- One of her favorite things in the world is to play Mario with dad. The moment he walks in the door she is dragging him to the tv to play.

Lydia

- Lydia is my drama queen or as my dad says a great actress. She is either the cutest thing in the world or the biggest pain :)

- When she is upset or mad there is no talking her out of it. I cannot bribe her or logically talk to her. She has to just calm herself down and have some space and then she is fine.

-She has no volume control. It does not matter where we are she is always loud. Church, library, it doesnt matter she likes to talk loud.

-She loves to be in charge. Whenever we try and play a game she likes to take over and make up new rules and tell us what to do.

- I try and do school time with her but she wont let me because she has to be the teacher.

- She loves to dance and we have many videos to prove it. Whenever she hears music it doesnt matter what she is doing she has to stop and dance. She is really good at getting on tables and shaking her behind. We are so proud :)

- She loves to watch tv and could watch it all day if I would let her. She especially loves Dora and when she is not watching it she pretends like she is Dora and is going on adventures.

- She needs her sleep and still takes a nap every day as long as we are home.

- 90% of the time her hair is in her face. She will not let me do it and if I do she has it pulled out within minutes. She says that she has Tangled hair- as in the movie but it really is tangled!
-She loves Ryan but doesnt know how to show it quite yet. She usually just pokes him or squeezes him. Poor kid!

- If you ask her what she wants to be when she grows up she will either say a Rock and Roll Star or a Fireman girl. (I dont think she knows what either of them actually are but heard about them on Barney but it is still very cute)

- She is obsessed with birthdays. At least 4 times a week she tells me that it is her birthday or sometimes if I am lucky it is my birthday. She likes to tell strangers that it is her birthday too and that she is going to Chucky cheese. If you ask her her birthday she will say November number 6.

- She has a lot of confidence and will tell anyone off. I was a scout leader and had 6 ten year old boys at my house and she walked in and started telling them what to do and got mad when they would not listen to her. A little boy was chasing her and Abigale around the playground and Abigale just ran away from him and ignored him and Lydia said "get out of my way bum bum!" (we are still working on talking nice to others)

That is all I can think of for now. I love my girls very much and want to remember how fun and crazy they are right now.
