Growing Up Fast

As some of you know, we have a large number "7" taped over the minutes of Mikayla's digital clock in her room. She knows when she sees the clock match the number, she can come out of her room. Lately, we've been so floored by her. Not only has this idea worked beautifully, but lately, she's been coming out of her room completely dressed for the day all by herself.

Also, Elyana is still an avid bookworm! We constantly find her little nose in books "reading" aloud to herself. She is already recognizing the letters B, C, and D. This week she learned the words "yellow" and "people." Must have learned them from one of her videos. Oddly, she's combined these words and has been talking about "yellow people." Oops. No worries though, she'll have new favorite words in a few days. I just hope it's not words that her sister teaches her.

Lately, Nate has had to put in several weeks of overtime at work. This is how an awesome tired dad still spends time with his girls...
