2. You share your ice cream with us.
3. You taught us the words to "Me and Julio, Down by the Schoolyard"
4. You paint our toe nails
5. Bath time with you Always involves lots of splashing and giggles (and sometimes a tiny princess seat).
We love you!!
There are two things I meant to write about Jeremy in his 3 and 4 month update that I forgot. The first is that he learned a new trick - how to grab his feet somewhere in that time frame, and they're now his favorite toys...isn't he cute!
The other is that he has had sparkly glitter on his fuzzy head for weeks. Either the baths just aren't doing the trick or the girls are dumping fairy dust on his head when I'm not looking. I guess that's what happens when you have sisters. There are worse things than glitter on your head :)
Stella has fully embraced the terrible two's, let me tell you - really I can't even tell you. You kind of have to be there. But, this morning she put on a puppet show, where both Cookie Monster and Kermit took turns singing a song that goes "I love Mommy...I love Mommy....". Stella has also gotten in the habit of coming up to me, placing one hand on each side of my face, and giving me a great big kiss. Totally worth those temper tantrums.
Sylvie had her first swim class today. I was a little worried. No, I was VERY worried. Swim classes in the past have been a little terrible. This one was different though. Three kids, one teacher, and no parents allowed. (I think that's the secret to successful swim classes). By the time I got to the observation room, Sylvie was in the pool, SMILING, and hanging on to the wall. By the end of the class, she was swimming in deep water away from the wall with a float attached to her back and a floating bar bell out in front of her. (Did I mention she was doing this all by herself?!) Small accomplishments for some, huge accomplishments for us!! Yay Sylvie - you are a rockstar! I can't wait to see what's she's doing by class #8.
Lots of love,

Bright smiling faces. Vivid memories of the best water battle ever. And check out those colors! I used different actions than I normally do to edit, but where did that rainbow come from?! I love everything about it.
And I miss those West Virginia people already. Come back soon, ok?
Check out other bright and vivid entries here. Also, check out the winners from "From a Distance" here. I was mesmerized. One was taken with a point and shoot camera. Amazing.
Lots of love,
Keri
