Some Tidbits

Just a few fun facts:
1. Ayla can now count to 100 (with very minimal help)
2. Sophie now has her own bed and has accepted the transfer REALLY well. She might be ready to move in to Ayla's room sooner than we thought ... gulp. Now to save up for a bed system to fit them in there. LOL
3. We are beginning the enrollment process for KINDERGARTEN! Still with her school, Free Horizon Montessori, but she will be going all day (a big step!)
4. Sophie's vocabulary is really expanding. It's so awesome to hear her and Ayla play together.
5. Ayla has shot up again in height, so time for new clothes before summer. All of her jeans look like capris.
6. Ayla has requested a Lion Birthday Party. I'll send out her wish list at a later date. :)
7. Sophie is a WHIZ with puzzles! Wow! She can do them so fast, barely even looking to figure them out!
8. And I finally found the dang Halloween photos. They got put in the wrong folder, but you can enjoy them now:

This week in Photos

Me and Ayla

Sunday the Mad Scientist came over and we took Ayla down to the Stone House to throw down some miles on the bike paths. We got in over 2 and a half hours of riding where at one point Ayla broke down but a quick offer of hot chocolate at the next store we see calmed her down and got us through the rest of our ride with smiles and Ayla with a laughing scream for me to go faster every time the Mad Scientist made a break for it.

Swimming at Golden Rec

Ayla has been asking for the past couple of days to go swimming. Bear Creek Lake Park was having a Polar Bear Plunge into the icy lake New Years Day but I just couldn't convince the family that sub freezing water was the right way to start off 2010.

So we settled for the Golden Rec Center.
