Before I know it --

we're going to be celebrating a few certain little girlies birthdays...one who will be four and one who will be two!  Sometimes I feel like the soon-to-be four year old is actually turning, hmm - maybe 13??  And the soon-to-be two year old is turning, well, TWO!  (It's evident these days!)

I just can't believe that my babies are growing up - I find myself having real life conversations with Madelyn sometimes.  It wasn't that long ago that little bug was cozy in the bassinet next to our bed.  Coming home from preschool today we discussed why the electricity went out the night before - which involved the following:

electricity is in the power-lines, which are held up by the poles, and maybe there was a fender bender on the icy roads, or maybe a tree fell, and she is really concerned that someday WE might actually cause the power to go out if we had an accident. 

The scary thing with her - she actually gets it, she's a gem, she's so smart and blows us and so many away.  She loves all her little friends, she loves school - loves learning new things, loves pretending and dressing up.  We enjoy such fun things these days - I can't imagine our days any different!

And Emily.  She slept in that very same bassinet, wrapped up nice & warm - like a squeaky little burrito.  Now she's going to be two.  She certainly has the attitude of a two year old!  She says "no" in the cutest, most innocent way - but she means it - boy does she mean it!  And the minute she doesn't get her way, find the nearest earplugs and prepare to hear an atomic bomb!  She is so fun, she's a free spirit - she's a little dare-devil and she's adventurous, she learns alot from her big sister.  Who she ADORES.  I can't imagine one without the other!  She loves music, she loves to dance - bopping her head up and down, and sometimes if the mood is just right - she'll put her head and hands on the floor and turn in circles.  She loves to serve tea and coffee "mo tea?" she says to us.  She has a favorite little kitty, who she named "mama" - and a favorite little baby, who she also named "mama" (original, isn't it!?)  She gives herself curls by twirling her hair and has a delicious little thumb that helps her get to sleep at night! 

These birthday plans - hope to get them done, March 2nd and April 6th will be here before I know it!
