still here...

oh hi!

Mika had her final ballet class yesterday. She had a blast and will be missing these Saturday mornings until classes resume in the fall. The girl earned herself a big Princess Aurora sticker and a cookie for a job well done.
I took her in to see her physician on Friday about her excema and somehow we came out with a requisition to have her blood sugar tested for diabetes. Keeping toes crossed on that one.
In other news, her boyfriend is in Slovakia for a month and she's anxiously awaiting his return. He's been gone only 2 days. Oi.
Princess mode is fullon now. Mika borrowed Disney's Little Mermaid and Cinderella from the library. Apparently Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast are to follow - so she says.
Declan is a machine!! He climbs everything and anything and is getting more skillful by the minute. When we're out in the yard, he just climbs right up the slides and heads down no problem. I think Mika was over 2 by the time she was ready to slide without help. Such differences! Declan is a dancing fool - he busts a move anytime anyplace. The kid is also smart. We can give him simple instructions and he carries them out without a hitch - things like take this to daddy, go find mika, etc. His language is coming along well too and he tries to say almost anything that you ask him.
At last check, Declan was 27 pounds, Mika an even 30. She wears a size 4 pant length with a 18 month waist. Declan is starting to get into his size 24M stash...GAH!
I'd love to wrack my brains for more info, but Declan is highly active at current and is in the bay window...
