C and R love watching movies. The draw back is that we often watch the same movie over and over again. It is hilarious to hear them quote the movies, sing the songs or laugh at the funny parts.
They are not really in to the Disney princess movies. There are parts they find too scary. What they do love are the Pixar movies like Cars and Toy Story.
Here are some other movies they like: Madagascar, Despicable Me, Elf, Rio, Yogi Bear, Monsters Inc, etc.

Holiday Show
The girls had their holiday show last night for school. C did two dances and two songs. She was great. So focused on the dance teacher. I loved it. Very proud of her.
R wanted no part of being on the stage so she just hung out with me. Too loud and chaotic for her.

Baptism
The girls got Baptized yesterday at St. Al's. This is what they looked like before it ever started. It was during nap time which proved to be a challenge, but overall it went well.

Thanksgiving Lunch
Had lunch with the girls at school today for Thanksgiving. I got C from her class so we could have lunch with R's class since it was earlier. She was so excited. Her face BEAMED when I walked in the room.
R was super excited too. I think she was also a little overwhelmed by all the activity with the parents and kids everywhere. But we managed. There was only a little crying when I left. Ok, maybe a lot of crying, but C was a trooper.
I squeezed myself into a little kid chair and ate turkey with my girls and it was one of the best lunches I have had, ever.

Memory
If I could bottle up a memory and save it for later I would save this time right now with my girls. I would save the image of C standing on the bed in mis-matched clothes that she picked our herself doing a mash-up of Red Solo Cup and Firework into a fake mic. I would save the image of R with her biggest gap-toothed grin wearing sunglasses and saying, "Hello Doe-Doe".
I want to lock away in my heart to never be lost the image of my two girls taking care of each other. C mothering R and calling her honey. She really steps up to take care of her little sister and makes sure she is ok. R follows her around and wants to do anything and everything she is doing. They are two peas in a pod.
I want to etch in my mind the sound of R's little raspy voice as she tells me extensive stories in detail that are beyond far-fetched and completely silly. I never want to forget how she said I would be proud of her...she knew, because I am.
I want my hand to forever know the feel of their little hands, their arms around my neck, their sloppy wet kisses. I never, ever want to forget these moments.

Big girl clothes
This week I had to order Miss C new clothes for school. Her uniforms were starting to get too snug and too short. I love her at this age, but it does make me sad that she is growing up. I look at her now and see less of my baby and more of a little girl. Her clothes are just one of the most obvious signs that she is growing up.
I think she feels she is growing up too and goes back and forth with her big girl, baby girl feelings. One minute she wants no help and the next she wants to crawl in my lap and be held. I will hold her until she's 80 if I can.

It's Potty Time!
I honestly cannot believe that Miss R is potty training. And by potty training I mean really just teaching herself with minimal assistance from us. We "officially" starting this week with big girl panties and she's had very few accidents. We've even driven without a pull up and had no accidents.
She is raring to go and doesn't want the pull on at all. Stubborn child that she is. So we have to trick her into wearing them at nap and overnight. It's working so we'll keep doing it.
Her face is so freaking cute when she goes. Her eyes light up with excitement and pride and she gets this huge grin on her face. Everything about her body language says, "LOOK AT ME! I AM AWESOME!"
And really, she is.
