--The Dalli: Early Babies, Art + Reading, New Food, Lucy Puppy

Sunday, January 24

These babes wake up SO early! And today I didn't have one of the girls to play with them in our closet. I made sure our bedroom door was closed and set them up with some toys in the closet and tried to sleep just a bit more. They actually did pretty well.

Olive looking at the camera.

And now Mabel's giving me a smile.

Some of the girl's drawings that they are sending to a friend. This is Emma's. She put a bunch of hearts on the paper for her friend to find. She has also been using a book that shows her how to draw an animals, so she included an animal on her picture.

This is the back - I will have to have her remind me what it is about.

Alice's picture. She has gotten really good at coloring every inch of the page and I love it!

This is the back of Alice's. I have encouraged to use up all the paper before they get another sheet. They don't always remember, but I am so pleased when they do. (Otherwise we got through paper WAY too fast.)

Lucy's drawing. Getting great at using lots of color!

So our neighbor's brought us a super spicy dish. So spicy that Dallas drank like a gallon of milk to try and save himself. But then he left it on the counter...and Lucy eats everything she sees...

I was doing something and heard,"I no like this. I no like this." Luckily, Lucy just took a tiny bite so she survived. Little tangent. Way back when, I chopped up a bunch of kiwi and put them in a serving bowl. Lucy said she wanted some, so I gave her a bowl and told her she could take what she wanted. When I turned back around, I saw that she had put the ENTIRE serving bowl into her own bowl. That day she liked kiwis. But that night she said her mouth hurt. Since then, whenever I offer kiwi, she shakes her head and says, "I no like kiwi. They hurt." Sigh. Sweet Lucy.

I also like that you can see Alice playing with Olive in the background.
