Here are just 5 of the reasons I'm loving my girls this week:
1. The girls are loving gymnastics and we have so much fun watching them!
2. We had to talk to Maggie's teacher because she recently has said some unusual things. There is one little girl at school who apparently is her "rival" (and has a very similar name but I'll change the names here to protect the innocent). Maggie told us: 1) Lucy (classmate) says "I don't eat yogurt and she's going to cut me with a knife." Then yesterday morning Robbie had a shaving cut on his chin. Maggie asked him about it and then asked if this little girl did it to him! She also told us "girls can't go potty outside only boys can." When we asked her teacher about the "potty outside" comment she said, "Oh I thought you were going to say something about yesterday. I was reading a book about a hen and I told the kids that a hen was a girl chicken. John (3 year old) classmate) yelled "because she has a vagina." We just have to laugh!
3. We have a telescope that Grandma Compton got Campbell for Christmas in our living room. Maggie was looking through it yesterday and saying "I can't see you Mommy!" and "I can see the moon!" If only she had been looking through the correct side...
4. Robbie is coaching Campbell's soccer team. After their second practice, he asked her how it was. She said "Just a little boring." :)
If you ask her what she likes about soccer, her response is "the playground."
5. Maggie is such a sweetheart. She loves to grab our faces with her little hands and say "I love you" or she'll just hug our legs out of the blue and say it. The other night I went to my triathlon class and got back after they were in bed. When I walked into their room to say good night, Maggie said with great enthusiasm and surprise: "Mommy, you came back to us!" as if I'd been gone a week rather than a weekend. She kept saying it over and over and even got out of bed and ran to Robbie in the living room to let him know Mommy had come back to her. She makes us feel loved! I had to add this picture because she's just so darned cute!

1. Anna says strange things all the time because she is exploring what we are reading about in books. It's been interesting to hear her talk about killing animals because we are reading Little House in the Prarie! I had to warn her teachers before they thought we were abusive to pigs.
2. Anna definitely did not latch on to soccer and said the same things as Campbell! Too funny.
3. They look SO tall at gymnastics. :)
