Disney Playhouse Live

Tonight, I took Celia to her first show. David stayed with Emme so that Celia and I could go on a date to Disney Playhouse Live.
Celia was so excited she couldn't sleep at nap time, so she fell asleep in the car on the way. I was a bit worried that she wasn't going to rebound for the evening, but she got a new burst of energy when we arrived.
She just kept saying, "I am so excited."
The had pre-show entertainment. The actual show had Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald Duck, Winnie the Pooh, Tiger (all in costumes) and people dressed as Darby, Handy Manny and the Little Einstein characters. They requested no pictures during the show, so I don't have any to share-although I might be the only one.
I told Celia she could have one thing-a drink, food or toy. She chose cotton candy. The cotton candy comes with the hat-I guess it helps justify the price. Celia was so well behaved. After she chose the cotton candy, she didn't once ask for anything else.

It was a wonderful evening. I might have spent more time watching Celia's face than I did the show. She is just wonderful.

Kitchen Bath

Emme now eats all table food (as opposed to baby food). Part of that transition means she feeds herself most meals and pretty much needs a bath after dinner every night.

One of those baths last week was in the kitchen sink. It is her first kitchen sink bath ever.

She really seemed to enjoy it and did lots of splashing.

Celia asked if she could take a bath in the sink, too. She was disappointed when I told her she was too big.

Valentine's Dresses

My dear friend, Misty sends the girls wonderful care packages for each holiday. The Valentine's present had matching dresses.
I got the girls dressed up for church the Sunday after Valentine's Day. I took a few pictures of each girl. I then told Celia that I wanted a picture of them together to send Misty. Boy, did Celia try to stay with Emme , who apparently had very important things to do.

Emme has started giving kisses, but they usually turn out to be licks. I guess Celia was "kissing" Emme back. I didn't even notice until I started posting pictures (click on the picture if you can't see Celia's kiss).

Beautiful Art

Over the Christmas break, David and I repainted our den. It looks so much better. One of the best parts is that we finally have a place to hang all the pictures that we have of the girls.

Art Project

Celia brings home her art projects each week. I put some of them up and others I just take a picture of and sneak into the trash....this one made a quick exit. Very cute, but way too messy.
We made this puppet as a home art project.
