For Your Viewing Pleasure

 I forgot to post last night (aka went to bed mega early...like 8:30). Which is unfortunate because these are such adorable videos. But luckily, I am still here and will still post them for you. :)

I took these while sitting in my chair nursing Olive and Mabel. Alice came over to read me "The Three Billy Goats Gruff." Lucy saw Alice reading to me and decided she wanted to read too. So she got her "Unicorn" book and joined the fun. I like that they are both reading to me at the same time. And when Lucy asks, "What dis say?" and "Dis my unicorn book!" and meanwhile Alice is steadily trying to get through her book. Just watch it. Maybe it's something only a parent would love - but I think these videos are so cute. 

I also love that Alice and Lucy will often participate in Emma's virtual school. Here is music time. The teacher had them listen to a song with fairies and one with giants. When the giants came all the girls hid behind the couch because it was "scary".  I know this virtual thing has not been great for everyone and yes, Emma is excited to someday go to "real" school but I am a big fan of all the time my girls still get to have together. 

And here's the sweet babes. Pluggin' along and learning how to play on their own! They have started to enjoy toys a bit more. In this picture I think they'd started playing with the girls' magnets.

Emma also learned how to use the timer on the phone today and took some impressive selfies. Here's one I really love that she took with Alice.

This must be after Lucy did some more pee-pees. I just loved how cute they are sitting on the couch together picking out their treats.

Haha. And here is Lucy explaining to Dallas why she should get another treat. "I sit on dee potty! My panties dry!"

The other thing that happened yesterday is Emma made a sweet movie theater. I meant to take a picture of it...but still haven't. Maybe tomorrow. Anyway, what happened is Emma had a friend over and they'd been happily playing when out of nowhere, Emma came and asked if they could watch a show. The answer was no. Obviously. Mid-day. Friend over. School day. I could go on, but final answer is no reason to watch a show. I love that Emma doesn't whine or keep asking when I say "no" and this moment was no different. She opened her eyes wide and said, "Then can we watch a pretend show?" "Of course! You can watch a pretend show for as LONG as you want!" Emma and her friend got to work setting it up - Emma created the TV screen (colored a scene on paper and taped it to my nightstand) and theatre (lots of blankets laid out in my bedroom in front of the nightstand) and assigned her friend to go find stuffed animals and set them up. Then the girls came and got some movie snacks (leftover Halloween treats) and that was that. I don't know how long they played but they seemed happy.

Another great thing about yesterday is that Alice had a second wonderful day at preschool. I am so SO happy that she is enjoying it.
