Mari from next door still comes over often and we feel blessed that the girls have such a good role model and friend. Whenever Mari comes over both girls squeal with delight.
On Thursday she spent the day with my girls and Nana D and brought along her math homework. Since then Sophia has been pretending to do homework at her little table. She will tell me that Thalia is too young to do homework, "she doesn't understand", she will tell me.
My sister Sheila, and Harley just left this morning. It was such a treat to have them here. Sophia really took charge with Harley, having him do tricks and holding the leash when we took Harley out for walks. We are lucky that Harley has such a patient disposition with the girls. Both love Harley but Thalia showed a little more restraint.
Thalia shouts out "Look! T for Thalia" whenever she sees a "T" on a sign or in a book. And Sophia is learning to read some words and often asks us how to spell certain words. She can spell "Sophia" and "Mari" right now.
"I love you": these words I hear from Thalia often these days. I heard her say that to Sheila this week and to Mari today.
Earlier today to photographed Alexandra. My first photo shoot! Sophia was very helpful as my assistant, helping me to make Alexandra smile. Afterward I let Sophia pick out a lollipop and she brought that with her to the movies with Randall and Steve and Ruby.
They still love to perform for us. They will announce that it is showtime and wil sing and dance and play the harmonica. I hope this continues.
This morning I let Thalia hold my little Holly Hobby doll from my childhood and Thalia's eyes lit up and she held the doll like a baby and said "Oh I love my little baby" and sang "Rockabye Baby" over and over again.
