A few tidbits about what they are doing/saying

I thought I'd write down a few random tidbits so that I can remember what they have been doing/saying lately.

Sophia sings a song called "You've got to love, love, love yourself" often and she asks us if we love ourselves, too. Its cute. She has been doing this for about a month now.

For the past 2 weeks or so Thalia has been saying "Chee Chee" and I can never figure out what she means. Sometimes I will ask Sophia to interpret and she shakes her head to say she, too, does not understand. Once I asked Thalia, "what does 'chee chee' mean?" and she smiled and said: "Nothing!" Another time I asked her "who is 'chee chee'?" and she replied with a smile, and said: "nobody!"

Sophia is counting a lot and applies math to regular situations. Today we were sitting at the cafe and she looked around and said there are only six people here at this cafe. When we leave, there will only be three left. She was right. This evening as we were heading toward the playground she said she saw two kids and when she arrived with Thalia there would then be four kids.

Altoids: my girls love love love altoids. I never would have thought to offer them altoids, Steve did and they now always ask for them, as soon as they get into the car. For awhile now, the word "altoid" has been Thalia's most clear word.

Sophia has a clever way of dealing with Thalia who always seems to want to say "no!" The other day Sophia was pretending to take a photo of Thalia, she was saying "Say cheese!", Thalia kept saying "no!" and so Sophia said, "ok, say 'no!'" and Thalia said "no" of course, and then Sophia said "good!"
