Sometimes I'm Grumpy too

If you want to be a grump that's ok, but could you be a grumpy kind of further away. It's not that I don't love you 'cause you know I do sometimes I'm grumpy too. "Grumpy" song by David Weinstone.

The girls were pretty grumpy tonight even though they're feeling way better we were all Oscar the grouches...must be the weather.

UPDATES:

Sophie memorized a bunch of books which is amazing to me. Sophie loves doing puzzles and after being shown how to do it once she can do it all on her own every single time. She seems to have that talent with everything and thus is very mischievous. Sophie's attention span is super short and it might be because of mommy, but we're working on that. We're also working on her being less of a bully to Hannah. She does say "Thank you", "I'm sorry", and "your turn" to Hann Hann which is a great leap in my opinion. We have an "I Spot" book where there are items on the side that you have to pick out within a picture and Sophie not only points out to where the item is, but she will tell you the position of the item (example. - "the book is on the table", "the doll is on the floor"). She simply amazes me everyday with the new things she learns.

Hannah is an entertainer and I'm always excited to hear a new song she has learned. She loves singing and dancing. She can sing parts of songs like "Do Re Me", "Maria", "So Long Farewell", "Ring Around the Rosies" (in Chinese as well), theme to "Totoro" (in Japanese), Dora theme song, Wonderpets theme song, "Jingle Bells", etc. She speaks clearly when she has something to say, but most of the time if she's not singing she's not as talkative as Soph. She's not as outspoken as Sophie and has a hard time expressing herself. She is the more loving twin and will hug and kiss you without having to be asked. She is excellent at sharing toys and food. Very laid back and the total opposite of Sophie. She has a longer attention span than Sophie and can spend longer periods of time drawing, playing on her own, etc. However she is a finicky eater and we have major issues finding foods that she will eat. Sophie is more open to eating if she sees mommy eating it.

So yes it is the interesting 2's (not the terrible 2's) and I love watching them learn, grow, and develop. They are amazing loving little girls (yes, not babies anymore)! I look forward everyday I come home to see their smiling little faces.

No playing with the closet!
