At school this week Olivia is "the queen for the week" which she is excited about. It means she gets to sit in a special chair, have a letter that I write about her read to the class, and she gets a friendship book from her classmates. Also she gets to bring in her favorite snack tomorrow. So I am currently making 22 brownies for her to take. I feel like if she is the queen....maybe she shouldn't have to bring her own brownies. :)
For the past little while Lincoln has insisted on doing EVERYTHING all by himself. Work the DVD player, answer the phone, get drinks, etc. He wants to get his clothes off on his own and get dressed on his own. It is very cute to watch this tiny little body struggling to put on a shirt. I am learning how to be patient, because everything takes a very long time to complete. I will sneak in some help when he doesn't notice...like just having him pull the button while i push it through the button hole. Or pulling the back of his underwear up over his buns...he always seems to miss that step. He has been talking to the (unborn) baby a lot he seems to think that if he speaks into my bellybutton that is probably the most direct route. He says " hello baby...will you play trains with me". so cute.
