Tink! Tink! Tinkerbell!

I recently bought "Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure" on blu-ray for the girls, because they had interest in a Tinkerbell balloon which they got from a birthday celebration at daycare. They kept talking about Tinkerbell and I decided to surprise them. Well, they've been hooked ever since and have watched the movie every day since getting the movie (their friend Lauren is hooked too). After about two times of watching the movie I had already decided I had enough of Tinkerbell. The girls however love it and can't get enough of watching it. It's actually nice because the movie is about 1 hr long and Sophie and Hannah actually sit and watch it from start to finish!!! This is a major accomplishment :D

Hannah does get upset at some scenes in the movie (she doesn't like anyone harming Tinkerbell) and likes to ask questions about the scenes she sees. Hann doesn't like trolls LOL! I'm really happy with her progress in communicating more and constructing more sentences.

I forgot to add last week that the girls learned how to sing "God Bless America" from daycare. I'm now trying to teach them the pledge of allegiance, just for fun. I'm also trying to reinforce "colors". They're having a hard time grabbing the concept which is strange to me because they're both so artistic. I remember saying that Hannah was more artistic, but I think I shouldn't rule out Sophie. Sophie can draw things with detail and explain it!!! Holy cow! Liz had shown me Sophie's drawings of a truck, a person, and a ladder, and how Sophie explained it, but to see it in action myself is amazing. Derek is going to scan the pics she drew, but I took one pic of Sophie's and one of Hannah's to show the grandparents what great artists our little girls are. Anyway back to the colors I'm trying to incorporate it into our conversations. That is a brown bear, I like your purple shirt, do you like that purple flower?, etc. We'll see if anything sinks in. But for now Sophie thinks everything is green and Hannah thinks everything is purple LOL!

We also went to the farmer's market in Fremont today and the girls have changed their minds about oranges. They both love oranges now. They tried various types of oranges, but I ended up buying the cuties because I know if they don't eat it, I will. I also picked out some strawberries which Sophie seems to love and Hannah doesn't, so for Hannah she gets some pink lady apples.

My picky eaters are driving me crazy, because if one eats something the other doesn't. I don't give in, so in any given meal one will be hungry away from the table. The one thing they can agree on which we found out is they like Thai pineapple fried rice and Thai BBQ chicken :D


Mommy spoils her girls by getting them fairy wings. Hannah and Sophie-bells!

Is that a squirrel out there?

Pixie dust so we can fly mommy!

Align CenterHug awww!

Hannah plays with her iCarly toy from Micky D's.

Hannah's drawing.

Sophie's drawing of Totoro. See the eyes, mouth, and feet. She also wrote "Hi" on each side. I got all of that from her explaining to me as she drew it. The pic is on it's side facing left for some reason I couldn't get the pic to be the right side.


Sophie likes ice-cream.

Thank you Auntie Adel for the oreo cookie ice-cream!
