As you can see from this photo, Megan is very focused on whatever her particular project is. Jake is always happy to look away from his work of art to ham it up for the camera. This is very reflective of their personalities. Last Wednesday, I was trying to find some activities to keep them busy (and from beating on each other), so we decided to paint. When we were taking out the supplies from the art closet, Megan found a little packet of note cards. Later that evening, Jimmy and I were sitting here with the kids (Darin was in Phoenix) and Megan announced, "I want to write a card" after seeing the cards still sitting there. I asked her who she'd like to send a card to and she said, "Auntie Judy". Then, she proceeded to recite exactly how she wanted the card to read. Jimmy wrote out the words for her and she copied it onto her note card. Here is the finished work:
She had to take a couple of breaks since her hand was getting tired. She looked at it and said, "That's a really long word". We were like, "No, you just didn't leave any spaces".
We had to get all of the paint off of Jake, so he took a bath in the sink and couldn't have been happier.
Finally, today, Jake decided that diapers are for babies. He's been wearing his big boy pants and is quite proud. He sported a diaper while we went out for a while today (I'm not that brave). Then, as soon as we got home, he asked, "Where are my big boy pants?" Nice!
