Family Files!

Years and months, that is. I have to say that I am NOT missing the first half of four. I think between all of Flora’s twos and threes, I had the hardest time during the first half of four. I’m not counting all my chicks, but Flora seems to have settled into being an independent, responsible, and mostly agreeable big girl. She loves to draw, read, tell stories, and pretend play. She really has an insatiable creative side! But no sooner did we get a reprieve with Flora then Charley hit his terrible twos, although his aren’t quite so terrible, at least in comparison. But he certainly has his own opinions and preferences, and has no problem expressing them. He’s talking in sentences — this morning he hollered across the breakfast table, “Don’t copy me Fwora!” He loves to do just about everything his big sister does (much to her chagrin), play anything outside, read, dance, and pretend play. He also loves to watch movies — his favorites are Monsters vs. Aliens (“Monsahs n Ailens”) and Wizard of Oz (“Viv Oz”). He definitely has a thing for monsters, robots, creatures, etc. and loves wearing shirts with “guys” on them.
