Katie is doing really well at speaking in full sentences. I was helping Mary with a craft and Katie said, "don't cut it! Don't do that!"
Mary loves to put treasures under her pillow when she goes to bed. It might be special toys or an outfit she wants to change into as soon as she is awake. She wanted to wear her shirt backwards one of the days this week because it had a tag on the back that she pretended was an "amulet" that made it so she could talk to dinosaurs. She said another time this week, "Will you run off please so I can put my clothes on?" Another time, I asked her, "Did you do this or did Katie?" She said, "I did it. It was my plan."
Mom: I finished reading the Caraval series and Once Upon a Broken Heart series this week. My client seemed happy with her color analysis report that I made for her.
Dad: Mom said some things this week that made Dad laugh. We were watching Clone Wars because Mary has been asking since getting her lightsaber at Disneyland. There is a part where the clones are talking to Count Dooku and they say, "We are clones, we’re made to be dispensable.” Then Count Dooku says, “not to me." Mom saw the line coming and said, “awwww ” almost immediately after. Another day we were putting the kids to bed and Dad was telling Mary to turn the tv off or something and Mom said, “The foot is coming down!”

Monday Mom deep cleaned the house. She cleaned the bathrooms, vacuumed, organized girls clothes, and did the laundry. Mary and Katie were playing in their room but Mom found them dumping their clothes onto the floor, so she had a little breakdown after that. It didn't get cleaned up until the next day.
Tuesday we went to the park with Lindsay, ShaLay, and Penelope. Mary and EverLee got in a fist fight over a rock. The moms started talking about 9/11 and we all started crying.
Wednesday I took the girls to tumbling. Katie cried during it for some reason so I took her to the car with me and we waited for Mary. Katie was fine in the car, I'm not sure what the problem was.
Thursday exercise class was cancelled so we just hung out at home and played outside in the yard. I taught violin to Penny Del Peloso that night.
Friday I took the girls to the library for reading time. They got to make a llama puppet afterwards.
Saturday I taught piano and violin lessons from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm. Only one student missed, which gave me a 30 minute break. I got Papa Murphy's for dinner on the way home then did a treat run a little later to Grocery Outlet.
Sunday I took the girls to church. Dad had a doctor's appointment in Reno. He went to Costco after. He brought home some Dunford Donuts.

Katie liked making certain sounds week to week. Last week it was ts, ts, ts. This week was ma, ma, ma. She also did it while pressing her hand to her mouth then pushing her hand away with the "a" sound. Mary playing: “Don’t do this daddy, don’t do this. Rawr rawr rawr” “I have to do this. Rawr rawr rawr. It’s my house. Rawr” Monday I deep cleaned the house and taught violin in the evening to a 6 year old named Amelia. Tuesday I set up the office for Andy to sleep there and the guest room for Wendy. Mary had dance class in the afternoon. Wendy got to us around 7 pm and had dinner with us. I put Katie to bed then Wendy got a little game out and we played that in Grandma's room and we all talked together. Wendy helped me put Mary to bed. Andy didn't end up coming. Wednesday morning, around 3 am, Mary climbed into bed with us. 5 am Katie woke up. We gave her a bottle and she went back to sleep. We left just after 6 and Dad dropped me off at the airport before going to wor...

Katie watched me blow up a balloon for Mary then proceeded to grab one from the bag and try to blow it up herself. She applied that same idea to my arm while I was getting her in her pajamas after her bath. She laughed and it has been a fun game for us this weekend. Katie officially outgrew the pack and play and has officially moved into her crib in her and Mary's room. Mary is adjusting to having Katie in the same room as her at nighttime and is doing really well with the adjustment. While Josie and Jack were at our house, Mary said, "Jack is my husband!" Then she tried to kiss him. He just giggled and said, "She's trying to kiss me." He's two. Mom : The girls sharing a room this week has actually gone well. I don't think I've gotten up more with them than I normally would if Katie slept in our room. I finished putting together my guide for the 12 color palette seasons. This next week I'll work on body types and face shapes. I'm really e...

Katie likes to click her tongue and she started smacking her lips too, she's so snuggly and sweet. I think she might be going through a sleep regression though, she's getting so close to walking. She has been crawling on the grass this week, so she's either over her aversion to grass or wearing long pants help it not be so itchy. Mary and I were playing and I found something she had hidden. She said, "you found it! My most cleverest girl!" Mom had a good week working on her new passion project of maybe being a color consultant. Dad had a birthday this week! He turned 32 on Wednesday. He is excited about writing a horror novel and is thinking of going to trade school so he can reach his career goals. Redwood hasn't been a very healthy place for him to work for a while and I'm hoping these goals will help him mentally, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Monday I had a big cleaning day then I taught violin that night.  Tuesday Dad took work off and we ...
