Just to praise up on my little girlies...

Like any good mom, I want to highlight some of the good things my kids do and positive characteristics they have.

Kaitlyn was at the Urgent Care doc the other day (just for a rash, nothing too major), and he commented that she has a really great vocabulary for her age. She gets that from mom, for sure ;-)

She is also becoming a very good color-er. When she is in the right mood, she colors in the lines really well. She is a great big sister to Brianna, and she loves loves loves reading with mom and dad, which I hope continues as she grows. And another good thing (in the long run) is that while she enjoys some chocolate or sweets now and then, she really isn't that interested in them. Give her a piece of cake, and she will eat a couple of bites and be done. A cookie? She almost never finishes a whole one. Just today I have her a chocolate chip cookie and I think she ate maybe 1/4 of it. This is a good thing, because in the future we have less to worry about as far as her eating habits :-)

Brianna is extremely good at standing up for herself. Yes, this creates some problems at times but as she grows and we are able to teach her to manage it the right way, this characteristic is going to be great for her to have throughout her lifetime. She has recently started giving high fives and big bear hugs. While Kaitlyn has always been more ahead with her verbal skills, Brianna seems to be the most ahead with her physical skills and coordination. And as I have mentioned in the past, Brianna is so good with our cats...very gentle, almost never loud or quick moving or rough with them. She is like a natural. Maybe she will end up being a Veterinarian. Or not, she and Kaitlyn can both be whatever they want to be!

So that's all for now. I am sure another brag post will come someday, and don't worry I have plenty to vent about at times, too. I will save that for another post. Maybe it should be titled "How can somebody so short, and so cute, be such a stinker".
