I got a new toy organizer for the play room, taping pictures on the front of different cubbies so the girls would know which toys go in which container. They enjoy the novelty and seem to think it’s a big sorting game. All the better when it comes time to clean up!
Our friends Christopher and Rocio gave Eva their daughter’s old bike, and Eva is sooo thrilled! It has a Disney princess theme with Sesame Street training wheels. With the weather finally starting to warm up and the days getting longer, Dave has been taking the girls down the street in the evenings, Eva on her new bike and Amanda on the tricycle. Eva is still unsure with the training wheels and wants Daddy to hold on to her seat, but she’s getting the hang of it.
Amanda has become obsessed with princesses, especially Disney ones. We have a series of little Disney dolls with rubber dresses, and she never gets tired of changing their clothes. She’ll put on Eva’s old dress shoes and “lose” one, and Eva will chase her with it, yelling, “stop, Cinderella!” It’s adorable how their little imaginations work. They both enjoy acting out scenes from their favorite movies (especially Cinderella, Eva’s new favorite), but Amanda seems to be more of my “girly girl”. I have to draw the line on singing like the mice in Cinderella, though. When they get high-pitched enough, it sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard!
