I haven’t updated in a while because the last few days have been rather eventless. With all the classes out of the way, the girls & I are just taking it easy. Enjoying the summer. Because once summer ends, our schedule will become quite hectic once again with Natasha starting school (AHH!), starting a new dance school, and both girls attending gymnastics. And we might squeeze swimming somewhere in there too! But we’ll have to see since I have no intension of overloading Tasha with too many classes.
Tasha is doing GREAT overall. She is still napping 9/10 afternoons which is very nice. She’s a good girl and she’s absolutely hilarious. I don’t know whether it’s the age or her personality, but every single day she says things that have me laughing for hours. She’s been lately trying to chase squirrels outside and when they run away in horror and try to climb the nearest tree, well… so does Tasha. A couple days ago she ran after a black squirrel and tried to climb a tree and got frustrated because she couldn’t. She then looked sadly at her little hands and said, “I need FEET here!”
And Veronika is a cookie monster all the way! The child has a horrible sweet-tooth and loves anything from cakes, to cookies, to ice cream, to donuts. If it has sugar or icing, she loves it! She has also turned into a typical 2-year-old and throws anywhere from 1-3 full-blown tantrums every day. But at the same time, she is also self-disciplined and puts herself in time-out when she knows she’s done something naughty. But for the most part, she is the cuddliest baby ever. She is very smart, talks in 4-6 word sentences and even uses many tenses correctly. Potty training is still a hit & miss, but she’s working on it!
