We are big girls now!

Both girls hit milestones last week that they would like to share, along with other interesting facts about themselves...
Abbie was in her very first primary program last Sunday. They asked all the children to wear white (thanks again Butler Fam for the loan!) which isn't Abbie's best color but she looked happy and lovely anyway. She was very, very excited. Her primary teacher was out of town so she bonded with a cute mom in the ward that volunteered to sit with her class. She sang some, whispered her part but showered her picture of "Her favorite thing Heavenly Father created...flowers" like a champ and waved and waved at her family. About 2/3 of the way through she had to use the restroom and decided to sit with me for the rest. I'm really proud of her for giving it a try and having such a great attitude (poor attitudes were in abundance that day in our ward).

Abs is loving school and dance. She still dances to Hannah Montana almost every day. Some days she is Abbie, others she is Hanna Montana/Annaliese(a Barbie)/Sister Anderson (her primary teacher) and we have to refer to her by that name. She likes to tell me how everything "Freaks her out". She is looking forward to Disneyland for her birthday and talks about it nearly daily.

Daisy switched over from her crib to her bed a couple of weeks ago. She has been really good and doesn't get out unless I come in for her. She still wakes Abbie up really early in the morning though with her talking. With Abbie we had to put up a guard but not Daisy. A pillow has worked just fine. She still likes to be covered with stuffed animals when she goes to sleep. This is only half of her normal allotment.
Daisy talks non-stop. Normally she is simply repeating what Kyle and Abbie are saying but if they aren't around she talks and talks to me. She loves to play with her sister. She will dance, walk around with purses, whatever Abbie is doing. She is really good with scissors...much better than Abbie at this age. She isn't sure how she feels about Disneyland but she loves to eat so the treats will be a slam dunk.
