This little girl keeps me cleaning in circles.....as most moms say you work a path through your house cleaning and they follow behind you destroying the path. On this day Sophie decided to empty her sock drawer....just lovely.
I was in middle of cooking and started telling her that we don't do that, when I decided I'd make it into a lesson. I picked up a sock and asked Sophie to find me the matching one, it was so cute and surprising that she knew which sock matched the one I held up. I was proud of myself afterwards that I didn't just get mad and make her pick them up with out any fun to it. With two little ones I have found myself getting a little more short with Sophie then I should be and moments like these help me to remember that the house will survive, the messes will be okay if they stay overnight, and to just enjoy each moment I can with my girls!
Sophie has always loved puzzles. But, as I hinted above I don't do well with messes so I had put the puzzles up out of her reach for a few days. She was soo excited when I got them down for her to play with. Little minds just amaze me at how intelligent they are. She has it memorized where most pieces go. If for some reason she doesn't quite know she will study the board to find the right place for the piece she is holding. =)
Our little Gingaroos is getting to be lots and lots of fun too! She is cooing like crazy, still screaming lots, and sleeping lots but we adore MOST moments of it! =) (all but the ones in the dead of the night!)
I just melt when my girls smile and talk to me, or giggle, seriously the best thing in the entire world!
Our little Bugaboos is still being an awesome Big Sister! She has started playing with Gingaroos a little but still seems to be being soft with her. I have caught her, a time or two, making a motion like she is going to try to lift up El, but she hasn't made any real attempt. She still "shhh"es El when she is crying, and sometimes hangs a blanket over top of El's head(not in a bad way). Miss Gingaroos watches Sophie A LOT and smiles at her most of the time. I think she takes in a lot of what Sophie does and seems to get a kick out of it. It's really cute to watch her grinning at Sophie! For the most part these girls are amazing together! It will be fun to watch them grow up and be best friends!
Isn't that little grin to die for!? =)
We have been spending a fair amount of time out on the ranch with Alex, especially when it's time to move irrigation.
Bugaboos is such a Daddy's girl! It is adorable!
She is also extremely independent and runs wild in the pastures.
If I could have set Miss Gingaroos up on the wheel line to be in the picture I would have, but since she's a wee little one she didn't make the shot! I have the cutest little family I couldn't be more proud!
Last but not least Sophie found a hole! Imagine that, this girl and dirt! =)
