Girls, jewels and crowns...

One of the many days with my girls; CMW hauled out her box of fancy dress up items. Mind you this was only the crowns, jewels, and shoes and had a good time dressing up her sister, boy did they have fun!

EKW couldn't resist all the fun in the box and C jumped right in to help her! The crown E is wearing was put on by CMW and the necklace was put on by herself. Yes, E knows what to do with a necklace already and has so for a while. I think it's just 'so darn cute' to see her walking around with a mardi gras necklace on. She'll take it off, shake it, then put it back over her head. She is just practicing one more skill she's developing. And it's so nice when the two of them play so nicely. I enjoy each time they play and it seems it's gets better by age. C actually has a lot of fun making E giggle and E loves when C plays with her. This mama can just tell and I enjoy every minute of it!

E checkin' out a crown!

A big smile!

Look at all their stash!

Claire and all her doings

A few pictures of what Claire has been up to!

CMW got this cool new dolly stroller! A friend called me from a garage sale letting me know about this. I knew she would like it, so i got it for her. She enjoys taking her dollies for walks around the yard.

Playing dress-up while visiting friends. She had a lot of fun with all the new stuff.

The chickens really like CMW mostly because she gives them food! How nice of her! And here they are following her around. They come running every time they see you.

CMW is also into anything that deals with very fine motor skills. We do lots of coloring with markers, make a mark with each one, putting on the cap and then putting them into a row. Stickers, more the merrier! We have a sticker book that also has pages with simple directions and games or counting or ABC activities. For the most part she is doing really well with it. And painting, she loves to paint. I might go broke buying paper and paints for the little lady. She also is being instructed with the Montessori method of teaching. A friend of ours is doing this with her along with her own children. Claire is reallying enjoying this and I am thankful, it is challenging for Claire but she does very well too.

And of course she is continuing to be a great big sister!
