Brooke (she let us know she wanted to be called Brooke now, so we jumped at the opportunity) REALLY likes to help. She'll follow you, trying to carry things, saying "Help! Help!" She loved watching daddy and helping him hammer and saw.
Olivia brought home another masterpiece from school the other week. It is a portrait of her sister!! We've hung it on the window next to the kitchen table. Brooke loves to point at it and say her name. She is tickled that her sister painted it and Olivia is very proud of her work.
The dogs have a very hard life at our house. Poor things.
We finally got around to giving the girls a bath in the big jacuzzi tub in the master bath. I never use it because I feel guilty - it's so deep and takes so much water. But it's the perfect swimming pool for the girls.
Just a couple drops of bubble bath and the jets turn it into a REAL bubble bath.
Brooke had the best time and she wasn't frightened by the roar of the motor/jets at all.
Brooke has enjoyed watching Olivia in her gymnastics class. She's been trying to copy her at home, so we thought it might be time to let her take her own lessons from Miss Yolanda. She was excited to get dressed in her very own leotard and head to the gym.
Everything was great - until class started. Then the tears came. She didn't sob, but it was obvious she was scared. But - she didn't leave the class. She could see us watching her and knew she could go to us, but she didn't. Miss Yolanda is very good with all the little kids and has plenty of experience working with tearful students.
And she made it all the way through class! She did everything Miss Yolanda asked and was tear-free by the end. She was proud of the ink stamps she got on her hands and feet at the end of the class, just like big sister Olivia. And when we went back for her second class last Friday, she was ready to go and have fun. She was all smiles and so proud of herself.
The girls are still in love with their playgym. Thank you again, daddy!
