*watching Aubrey lay on her stomach and kick her little legs while she played the LeapPad
*watching Aubrey color with markers--she always has to be naughty and color on something she shouldn't!
*hearing Aubrey say, "Thank you!"
*seeing all the creations Gracie and Madelyn make on the Rainbow Loom
*going to the Book Fair!
*going through all the artwork and schoolwork
*the girls flying through homework and baths so we actually had time to read Madelyn's fairy chapter book

Favorite Moments With...

Aubrey
*all the hugs she has been giving me
*watching her learn to string beads. She was very patient.
*taking walks with her
*the way she says, "Play with me."
*watching her climb the ladder of the play set and slide down on her own
*watching her blow bubbles. She is very intent and does it for a long time.

Gracie
*watching her read chapter books on her own. I love having an independent reader!
*the fact that she offered to help Madelyn with her homework, and that Madelyn actually listened to her and finished it!
*how she loves to chase butterflies
*her creative idea to build a swing for her peep

Madelyn
*so thankful she is sleeping through the night and waking up early!
*how she is blossoming at the end of her K year. Her handwriting is so much better and she is reading at grade level!
*the way she loves to role-play everything. Will she be a future actress on stage?
*her imagination

Jim
*laughing while watching Jimmy Fallon together
*deciding on house things together
*spending time outside with him and the girls
