K.Lo:

*Screaming and running away from N.Lo, hiding behind Managements’ legs.

*Sleeping in the big-girl bed, as opposed to the air mattress on the floor next to the big-girl bed (don’t ask, I have no logical answer).

*Learning to use scissors. Learning not to run with, wave around, or point out facial features with scissors.

*Rubber stamping with alphabet set furnished by m. Likes to say, “I found a T!” Or whatever letter she has just stamped.

*Making “beds” for small stuffed animals, tucking them in, giving them another stuffed animal to hold, as well as a book.

*Carrying around a small ceramic replica of Bender, which she has dropped once, causing her to lose a foot (ironic considering Bender’s surgery earlier this year). “Baby Bender” lives in the highest tower of the Fairy Princess Castle.

 

N.Lo:

*Popping up between Managements’ legs when they’re resting on a coffee table. Smiles big and laughs, as though saying, “Peek-a-boo.”

*Saying “block.” Or is it “book?”

*THROWING! Balls, blocks, books, anything that will fly. Learned with assistance from not-so-wise Manager.

*Standing up by the glass doors, looking out on the world.
