So I just thought I would post a little update on the girlies before I get back to my insane nonsense posts.
Alexis is...well...Alexis. The dead typical 3yr old with the personality of a teenager. Wait...did I say personality, I meant attitude! Shes a character, and acting classes would do her some good. She had march break last week so there was no school. That made for a good time. She really needs that educational stimulation to keep her sane. I dont know what we will do during the summer, why don't they have summer school for 3 yr olds?? Like usual, she is a sponge. She has taught herself (curtosy of her leap frog book) how to count to 39. She keeps forgetting that 40 comes next. Now, if you ask her "10, 20, 30, what" she will say "40, 50" BUT when doing it number by number, she forgets 40. I dunno, crazy little girl she is. She is praticing to count by 2's which normally makes for a good crack up, some how this humors her. School taught her the days of the week, so she will go around the house trying to remember starting at different points. Example "monday, then Tuesday. Friday comes after thursday, and then one more sleep is Saturday." Shes really nailed them down. Of course, amazes us daily with what she comes out with. Her teachers told me on Tuesday that they have had to pull out the writing station to keep her busy, because they have noticed her attitude change when she gets bored with the regular activities. Her pedi called Fatima (the school she will be in next year) and had requested a parent/teacher meeting during the orientation. The school is great for advanced learning, and there are programs she could be weeded into. They have different programs during the 2 kinder yrs that gear towards different learning levels, and that makes us all very happy.
She starts soccer on may 31st, saturday mornings. Right after she heads to gymnastics, and possibly keeping that up 2x a week during the summer, if they start the spree team early. We will see. If not, swimming it will be and possibly one more because bordem is NOT her friend.
Brooklyn turned 11 months and this stage is just remarkable. She is a very bright little lady and I love to watch her learn new things. She can now take 4-5 steps at a time..but ONLY when she wants to. Shes stubborn as a mule but determined as hell. Weve also realized she has a much more timid personality then her big sis. She knows the nose, belly and eyes on any animal, doll or person. She can get you a pig, duck, dog or cow if you ask her from her toys or animals. Words nothing really new, just the regular mama, dada, papa, lala for Lexi, up, duck is the newest and the other bibble babble that fills our ears daily. She has been a GREAT sleeper lately and we only hope that keeps up. We ALL need the sleep!!!
Well, I will be back shortly with an aray of new pics fo ryou all to oggle over LOL. C U then.

I am so glad that you are already finding things to do to keep alexis interested in learning. I got bored in school pretty young. I really feel like if there were more advanced things for me to do, school would not have been as painful for me as it was. Good job mama
