Kelly puts all her stuffed animals to sleep at night by saying to each one “I love you” (in English!) and giving them a kiss. Just like we do for her.
When Kelly asks permission to do something, like open the kitchen door, and we say “No” she puts her hand up like a stop sign and says “Ok, Thank you, thank you.” (in English again!)
Monica loves to count to 10 in English. She also loves the airplane game at dinner time. Anything to be treated like a baby.
Monica takes her baby doll everywhere! Loves to change it’s diaper, feed it a bottle, put it to sleep.
Neither of the girls like vegetables, although I’ll give them credit. If we say eat 3 bites, they’ll eat three bites with a sour expression. At least they try it.
If we only fed them fruit all day they would be in heaven.
Kelly is groggy after a nap and wants to be held, then lay on the couch and just chill.
Monica is fascinated by the cold weather. Kelly is annoyed by it.
Monica still says “piscina” every other word. Or chi chi. Just depends on her mood.
Some firsts for them were escalators, moving sidewalks, steps to the second floor, cold weather, blowing breath outside in the cold, mittens, boots, hats, coats, seatbelts, peanut butter and jelly, American ‘juice’, warm pajamas, stools (they keep falling off of them), cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles, coloring on the computer.

That’s all so precious! I am sure the girls will change so much in their first weeks and months at home that these will be such cherished memories to look back on.
So cute!! What does piscina and chi chi mean?
Piscina means swimming pool and chi chi means pee pee 😉
