We were riding in the car on the way to church and Hubry asked the kids if he could practice a speech he has to give. It was about five minutes long, and at the end of it Bro said, "papa, that was kind of unusual." Songbird was quick to follow at his heels," yes, it was both unusual and usual." So in case your wondering, that pretty much sums it up.
Raindrop has developed a new habit involving sunglasses. When she goes to bed she asks to have her "eyes" (aka sunglasses). We put them on her, she leans back, we cover her with the blanket and say good-night. In the morning when she wakes up, if the sunglasses have fallen off in the night, she asks to have them on again, and wears them off and on throughout the day. The funny thing is how serious she takes it, and how much she looks like a diva:)
A couple nights ago the kids put on a show for us. They dressed up (Bro was a kilted leaf monster), ran around the yard playing their different roles - leaf monster versus some sort of princess - and every once in a while Songbird would stop at the opening of the woods and present us with either a poem or song which she has memorized. In the background Bro continued to be a Scottish leaf monster.
Raindrop is obsessed with the blue balance bike. As soon as we walk out the door to play, she finds the bike, and rides it until its time to come inside again. She usually has several falls while riding it around which seem to be traumatic for her, but as soon as we kiss the boo-boo she pushes us out of the way and makes a beeline for the bike again. It is a love hate relationship, but she is definitely obsessed. There's something about the third child that drives them to prove they are one of the gang. She hasn't started coasting down hills yet, but she has started running on it, which seems pretty adventurous to me!
