Growing up

I know I've said it before, but my kids are growing up so fast!  Lucy has now learned her facial anatomy... like, nose, mouth, eyes and we're working on cheeks and ears.  She can also sign please, more, all done and we're getting to thank you, but she can communicate really well what she wants without it too.  She is really interested in Dude's clothes, especially his underwear.  The other day she actually got them on up to her knees so Gaetan pulled them up the rest of the way.  She LOVED it.  She also will try to get into the bathroom when she has to potty... she has gone potty a few times on it already too!  What a big girl!  One of the things that I like now is her hair is long enough for pig tails... OH MY ADORABLE.

Duder Unders on a Lucy Girl

She takes her sliding very seriously

She likes to slide down on her belly after she's climbed all the way up...

Duder is also such a care taker.  The other day I wasn't feeling so well, so he covered me up with his blue blanket, and gave me all his pals.  He then told me to rest up and feel better and that he made a pretty nice bed for me.  :)  He takes care of Lucy too!  He's also really into cooking with me at the moment.  We have made pancakes a few times together, (he's a great flipper!) rice pudding and some chocolate pudding.  He even checked out a toddler cookbook at the library... think he's hinting at something?  :)

Happy Duder helping Momma in the kitchen!

I love the stage that my kids are in... and they just keep busting right on through to the next.  I can't wait to see what they're going to have accomplished by the end of the summer!
