Ashtyn learns to walk!

Well last week Ashtyn realized she could walk, and it has been so fun watching her get better at it. Last Sunday was the day she figured out that she could walk and she just kept practicing; she'd crawl away from us and then turn around, stand up and walk back to us, then she'd roll around on the ground because she was so excited!

Here's a video of her being excited about walking:

Here's a video of her a few days later:

The cutest things....

April 2015

We were examining a huge beetle outside, and Madelyn (a natural-born bug hater) resolutely declared, “I don’t like beetles. I like bunnies.”

On a hike, Ashtyn said, “I have this great rock!” And Corinne said, “I have the best walking stick!” and Madelyn thought for a moment and said, “I have my Mommy!” (I was giving her a piggy-back ride.)

March 2015

Corinne was VERY afraid on her bike ride (unknown to me, 1 training wheel was flopping around). As we were going down the hill, heading home, she was talking to the fairies on her bike, “phew, ok, ok, it’s Ok Periwinkle, we’re almost home, don’t worry, don’t worry.”

It was dinner time (without Tyler again) and Ashtyn wanted to play 20 questions. I just wanted them to eat so I said no. She said, “well, you’re done eating…can you just tell us about atoms or something?”

February 2015

Ashtyn plays dragon games at recess with a fluctuating group of girls and boys. Recently she informed me that it was “mating season.” I probed her about it (nonchalantly of course) and she simply said, that “it was mating season, but I didn’t want to mate, so I just built nests.”

Corinne spilled her water twice at breakfast. After cleaning and some deep thought she launched into a monologue about how princesses never spill their drinks, but fairies spill one time usually and mermaids, well they were just more clumsy, and the she, was “definitely still in the mermaid style right now.” She reassured us that she was progressing though and would eventually reach fairy status and with luck and hard work, princess status.
