Veronica and Madeleine want to take over the blog!

It has been a long time since we have used this, but when I showed it to M and V recently they wanted to take over! So without further ado here are your new bloggers.

V here!  I think that this blog needs some videos so we are bringing  "video.com" to life, if you don't know what "video.com" is (because we keep it pretty quiet). It is educational videos about nature,  writing, and maths, reading, and more. Our next one will be about maths, because we have only ever made videos about nature, because of that our 2nd video is going to be about writing then reading. We will post a video as soon as we can.  I'll hand it over to M now. 😋 Bye


Hi guys M here. I would love to share my idea with you. I thought that we could make one video a week which is not educational but super funny instead 😋. You will love it, I promise.



                                yippee!

(As a poster emeritus, I can't guarantee that the new blogmasters will be more regular posters than I was, but I can tell you that they are excited right now.)

A Couple Ditties / M&V's Favorite Songa

They love the Birthday Song... almost as much as chocolate!

And the wheels on the bus, well, you can never have too much of it...

It is a whole new ballgame


After lunch today Veronica, Madeleine and I went through our normal routine. New diapers... talking about how it was time to walk to night-night... rounding up their blankets... going to their room and then tucking them in to their cribs for naptime.

I then left and went to eat my lunch. During which I could hear a lot of chatter and playing coming from their room, which is not unusual as they like to talk to each other before they sleep.

But when I was cleaning up the kitchen after my lunch there was an unusual occurrence. Two little Chihuly* heads sauntered in to the kitchen and announced "I woke up"

Veronica and Madeleine have figured out how to climb out of their cribs!

Thankfully I was able to get them to go back into their cribs to take their naps (otherwise I may have not retained my sanity). But later tonight we got them to show us how they got out of their cribs. Enjoy the video.


As impressed as we are by the athleticism of V and M, we couldn't let this continue so while Heidi was giving the girls their bath tonight I converted their cribs to toddler beds so they can climb in and out of them at will (and more importantly... safely).

It is a whole new world, which begs a few questions:

- Will they stay in bed when they are supposed to sleep?
- Will this change the morning routine? (I suspect this should be stated "How will this...)
- How often will we find them sleeping in the same bed?

Tonight they got out of bed once and wandered around... but seem to be staying in bed after the second round of tucking them in. I am very happy that this is happening on a weekend when we are both here to establish the ground rules for the new game.

* If you are unsure why I call them Chihuly heads... it is because their hair often reminds me of the blown glass sculpture in the lobby of the MIA by Dale Chihuly... you can see an image of it here:

Looking Forward to Christmas


Enjoying the first snow of the year.


Going with Mama and Papa to see "A Day in the Life of an Elf" at Macy's (Still thought of as Dayton's by many).


When we got back in the car... both V and M said "more shopping"

Not sure whether this is a good thing or not... but it was cute.
