The girls are ready for summer! Gabby is really into Doc McStuffins right now and has a medical kit...hence the stethescope around her neck at all times. It's nice to have a cartoon that has a good role model for kids and she is learning all kinds of medical terminology :) Grandmother Ann got her a new sweat suit and she had to wear it right away. She even wore it to school the next day!
Lilly LOVES ice - actually, both girls really like it. Lilly and Gordon stop at the clubhouse on the way home sometimes and grab a cup of ice (its the soft kind). It is great but she eats so much that then she is not hungry for dinner!! It is a favorite for both girls and there are worse things. With the warmer weather, both girls enjoy playing outside as soon as they get home from school. It is either straight to the swings, trampoline, chalk or sand. We have to work on the bike riding :)
Lilly has a bottom molar coming in and has been a little cranky at times but who can blame her? When I look in there her gums are swollen, red and look painful. She enjoys reading - not as much as Gabby did - but Gabby has an ability to listen to stories unlike most kids. Lilly likes Brown Bear and the Very Busy Spider still. Lilly is starting to form more words. She can definetly say "Bath time". She understands a lot and follows directions well. She shakes her head for yes if she wants something and she really is getting to be a big girl. She thinks that she is big enough to go down stairs forward facing...and she just isn't so we have to watch her closely. Lilly has learned to open doors so we frequently find her in the pantry trying to reach the chocolate raisins (her favorite). AND it is almost time for her 1st haircut. I'm just about done braiding her hair to keep it out of her eyes and it is a different color so it is probably time....plus her bangs are growing in and so is her side hair so I'm going to have to start doing more with it. It might really be time!
Gabby continues to excel at school and is 1 of 2 kids working on her math. She enjoys math - which is not a surprise since that seems to run in the Bigler family. She is working towards earning a tree house....that means she has to follow directions and have a positive attitude. Some days are better than others but it's all pretty normal for a 4 year old. We are getting ready for a trip to San Diego next week and she is very excited to go to the Zoo and the beach. She told Gordon today that we had to go for 3 days and that she could stay in the hotel that long. I'm not sure if Lilly and I will make the trip...we are playing it day by day.
