photos and firsts

The past few weeks have seen the first day of pre-school for the twins, the first dance class for the twins, the first tooth for Caroline, the first cold for Caroline and Caroline's mobility. Lots of firsts! The twins are doing so well with school that I wonder if I even have the same 2 kids! They seem to really be enjoying it and they go happily and willlingly. A far cry from hauling them screaming down the stairs then holding them down in the carseats while they fought me to get out all the while screaming "I don't want to go!!!! I don't WANT to go to school!!!" Oy! So glad they are liking it this year. As for the dance class, they go once per week to the Little Gym for a combo ballet/tap/gymnastics class. They ask me every day if it is the day for their dance class and they loooove their teacher. It is so cute to see them idolize another big girl (besides me, of course ;) As for Caroline, she had a mean cold and teething all in the same week. Poor thing ... she (and I b/c not only did I have to try and console her all day and night but I also got the cold!) was just miserable! There was no consoling her. It lasted a good week to 10 days but we are both almost better now. I just hope the twins don't get it! She has her first little pearly white ... one of the bottom middle. She is a champ army crawler now and I got a good video but am having a hard time uploading it?! Hopefully I will figure it out in the next few days. She is just all over the place ...
What are you doing over there??
... ahhhh, busted! What is it with babies and electric cords? Or dog food for that matter?!
I had to wake Caroline up to go get the girls from school the other day so I thought I would take a picture since I haven't gotten a sleeping one in a while! Look at those chubby legs!!!
family pic! the twins were grumpy so I couldn't get the pacis out without tears ...
First day of school! I had to snap a quick one while we were getting shoes on.
First day of dance class! I took the girls to a trial class before signing them up for the whole year and I hadn't bought them any dance clothes yet! I did the best I could with what we already had. They look like throwbacks from the 80's but they LOVED the class! They now have leotards and tights and tap and ballet shoes ... the whole she-bang. I will have to get another pic soon!
I got such good pics of Caroline (in the towel) that I was inspired to get some of the twins to replace some baby photos of them in frames. Here are some cute ones I got from our photo shoot (that I got by promising them M&Ms after) ... Meredith
