Mommy Comes Home & The ABC's

The week went by so fast and my pictures for the week are scarce. One of the great moments was when Paula (Mommy) returned home from her weekend away. Claire and Chloe were so excited to see her. They jumped up and down and laughed and were so happy. It was priceless to watch. These few pictures show them with their surprise from Mommy. New "Hello Kitty" back packs!

Claire and Chloe's Noni got them magnetic alphabet letters for the refrigerator. The girls spend quite a bit of time moving the letters from the front to the side often singing the ABC song. They both know the entire song, although Claire is much more apt to sing it through. It is very fun to hear them singing away as they do other things. They both are counting as well, often to 20. They count buttons on shirts, fingers, or anything that is around. The first little film below shows Chloe "working" the letters and Claire is singing tidbits of the alphabet song. The second film is a little more of the same.

The last video is from the previous week's rainy day activities. Papa mentions something about Grandma giving a ride, and Chloe is telling him that my leg has an "owie". Not sure where that came from. Then it shows the girls taking turns at Papa's suggestion, and you can hear Claire parroting back most everything Papa says, like, "that leg doesn't work, honey." That is what Claire does, says whatever you say....sometimes over and over. Chloe refers to herself as Coco when she wants a turn or needs something.
