5 on Friday

Here are 5 reasons I'm loving my girls this week:

1.  Campbell was talking to her daddy on the phone yesterday on his way home from work.  During their conversation, she was playing in her play kitchen and poured him a cup of coffee and "fed" it to the phone then prepared him a strawberry and an egg and fed those to the phone as well.  It was so cute and her amazing daddy just played right along, making smacking noises and telling her how yummy it was :)

2.  The girls are really enjoying playing with their Santa and Nativity Little People sets.  Unfortunately there is some confusion about the separate stories.  So far this week, Santa has flown around the manger, the 3 Wise Men have hung out with the elf at the North Pole, and yesterday Mary sat on Santa's lap and told him she wanted a birthday present for Christmas...

3.  I talked to the "teachers" in Maggie's nursery today and they commented on how happy she is these days.  We all agree it's like she's a new baby and it's so nice to see her so happy.  Here she is...so happy in her bath.

4.  This year was the first year Campbell was really able to help decorate the Christmas tree.  She was so earnest about it and it was so much fun!

5.  Last weekend Campbell decided not to take a nap but was quiet in her room for quite some time. When she came out, she announced "I'm ready to go swimming!" (complete with bathing suit over her head, swimming diaper, water shoes, and "sunscreen" aka lotion on her face and hair).  Hi-larious.  Except that it's been 5 days and her hair still smells like the lotion and is still greasy despite being washed multiple times...

Cracked up at the last one! So glad to hear Maggie's herself these days. Perhaps she was just getting used to the world??

I love these little stories! Wait until she dresses up Maggie! Goodness! Can't wait to see my cute little nieces!
Love, Aunt Ju-ju

I'm loving how "teachers" is in quotes. I do the same thing when I refer to the "teaches" at Emily's "school".
