The kids are on the verge of outgrowing their current ages so I wanted to put some things down to remember them.
1. First time Mary Grace ate garlic bread tonight. She acted like she's always eaten it although Anne and I both know that's not the case. I quote Mary Grace: "Ummmm! So garlic-y!". We're perplexed by it, but hey, she ate something new so we'll take it.
2. William's inability to eat without getting whatever he is eating all over his face. This was really cute at 3. Enough said.
3. William gets so excited by visitors, especially unexpected visitors. Tonight, their favorite babysitter, Yanni Turner stopped in to say hi. William was so excited that he was rambling on and on completely incoherently, jumping from one topic to the next all with a single sentence and a single breath!
4. William wakes up no later than 7:30am every day. On the non-school days, he tries to wake everyone else in the family up so he'll have someone to go downstairs with him to watch TV. When that fails, he'll climb into my bed and bug us until we get up. Love that one!
5. Mary Grace and her doll accessories. Today, we made some doll accessories out of "salt dough", which is flour, salt and water. We made miniature: bread, cinnamon buns, muffins and waffles. She's always on the lookout for items to use with her dolls, like the little plastic thing on a pizza to keep the box from touching the pizza. She uses those as doll tables.
6. Acronyms. Mary Grace told me to today that mommy was leaving to go do "B. R. A." I had to ask and the definition was "birthday related activities".
7. Spelling. For some reason both kids are doing impressively well in spelling. They keep bringing home tests with grades like "A+" and "12 out of 10".
