Cha-cha-cha-Changes!

It’s a week of intense middle-class suburban changes! We bought our first mini-van on Monday on on Thursday we moved Mina into a toddler bed! She loves it! Anything “big girl” she is eating-up. She also is loving potty training. Not to say that she is fully potty trained, but earning jelly beans for each “success” has been a lot of fun. (P.S. Gorgeous Quilt by Grandma Cathy)

Here are the girls settled in their matching beds. These girls just love each other. Marie is a very loving and obedient big sister, and Mina is the perfect excited “happy to be here” & “I like to watch and learn everything” type of girl. They are very different but a perfect pair.

 

Also, Marie had her optometry exam yesterday. They dilated her eyes. She later fell asleep with her big glasses in the living room. She later woke up, sat straight up and stared at me with her huge dilated eyes which were even more magnified by her glasses. Not until I realized she wasn’t blinking did I know she was actually still asleep and laid her back down and took off her glasses. I wanted to get a picture of her huge eyes but just ended up disturbing her out of a nap and getting a picture of these brutal glasses-marks. Oh well! She was cute!

Lastly, pregnancy is going good. I have to start going in for “stress tests” twice a week though. I don’t really know what it means, but I do assume I get time to read a book while my belly is being monitored for a half hour. Is that weird I am more excited to have time to read a book than find out what I am doing at the hospital? Nah…
