The other day the girls and I went to the park. They had such a good time. Cailyn always finds a friend there. This time it was a little girls with silver teeth and Cailyn thought it was the coolest thing that she had "shiny" teeth. Jessica found the bridge and was content to just walk back and forth on that. They were so cute.



This is Jessie's new "cheese" face.





Then we decided to do some painting. That was so much fun and only fun because I had the patience for the mess at the time. That just doesn't happen every day, but when it does I try to take advantage of it. We had a good time watching Jessica try to get the paint off her hands(she can't stand to have her hands messy). Good time all around.

Jessica has all of a sudden taken off with her speaking. She has expanded her vocabulary quite a bit. Here are some of her favorites:
Dadda
Momma
Cracker(which really means all food)
baby
Down
up
No
We haven't heard Please or thank you, but she always just smiles or blows kisses in response to it. It really it quite adorable.
Cailyn has stopped taking naps, which makes bedtime easier. She is really nice about it because she plays quietly so I can get one while Jessica is sleeping. What a sweet little girl. We have also been working on her writing her name. We have worked on her letters for a while now, but just recently started focusing on her name. She has to write it 3 times everyday(better done in the morning) before she plays. As long as I sit with her and help her focus, she does a great job. We do a picture of it everyday to document her progress, and so we can show daddy(there is no guarantee it will be there at the end of the day).

Here are a few examples:

What a fun day! Good job for letting them paint. It does take a lot of patience to deal with the big mess it makes! What a fun mom!
