Playing Dress Up

I have to say, one of the fun things about having kids is dressing them up. It's hard not to look at a pair of miniature faded skinny jeans and say "awwww!" For most of us, dressing up our little girls in party dresses is a rarity. Therefore, we need to take full advantage when there is a special occasion!

My cousin was visiting from New Zealand so a family brunch was in order. Brunch called for party dresses!

Don't mind me. I'm making a quick call
before brunch...

...while Teagan ponders what she'll eat. 

A few shots with the grandparents!

My mom and Teagan take in some skating before brunch.

Q enjoys an ice cube (after her fruit, shrimp,
smoked salmon, omelette, veggies...)

TT's got the moves

First off, I'm sorry about the video on the previous post. I have no clue why it won't post correctly. I think there may have been an issue when I downloaded it off my iPhone.

Upwards and onwards though. A new video.

In the morning, after the girls have their breakfast, the kitchen is usually a mess and I still haven't eaten. Keeping them in their chairs, I will sometimes pull up a Sesame Street music video or the Baby Einstein Neighborhood Animals video on YouTube. The 10 minutes allows me to get a ton of stuff done. [Don't flame me anti-TV readers!]

The other day I put on the Neighborhood Animals video and Teagan went nuts. I was wishing I had my phone out to capture it. This morning I was successful!

I hope this one works!

Sharing Is Caring

Teaching a toddler how to share can be painful at times. You feel like a broken record. You feel like you're talking to a wall. Or worse, like that teacher who no one listens to despite total understanding.

But, for all of those attempts at teaching toddlers how to share, there is one awesome success story that trumps them all.
