Owen and Emmaline's two-year appointment with the pediatrician was in the last month, and below are their stats, they have really grown!
Emmaline
Weight: 27 lbs (55th percentile), Length: 34 3/4 inches (75th percentile), Head: 19 inches (60th percentile)
Notes from ped: Feisty young lady!
Mom's reaction: Um really, think so?! Nice way of saying "spirited" I guess.
Owen
Weight: 29.6 lbs (65th percentile), Length: 35 1/4 inches (70th percentile), Head: 19 1/2 inches (60th percentile)
Notes from ped: Doing well, good, steady progress
Mom's reaction: Not much to say obviously, so we'll take it!
As far as potty training, I just need to educate myself before we tackle that! I have one training potty, but we need to buy another. So, when the kids are dancing around it, fighting over who gets to sit in it, or trying to put the removable bowl on their head, I think "ah yes, we need to start that some day. Anyway guys, let's leave the bathroom before someone smashes their head on the toilet/bathtub/sink."
Owen started singing his ABCs and recognizing all letters and numbers late last winter (around 18 months), and Emmaline has started taking an interest in the last few months. They use their puzzles and toys to learn...I promise I am not sitting them down at home hammering out their ABCs and numbers with them and conducting tests! :) I really think it just started with Owen out of interest in his toys as he would hold letters and numbers up and want us to repeat. Since Emmaline didn't care at the time, we never pushed it. Though I will admit, I'm pretty proud of both of them! As long as they know the basics by kindergarten, I'm a happy mom!

After a month off, the kids will go back to "school" two half days a week starting September 12. We will also start our MOPS groups and one Kindermusik class a week. Between that, our memberships to the Arboretum and the Museum of Nature and Science, we should stay busy with our friends this year!
Visiting the aquarium for Father's Day
"How does Daddy walk in these things?"
"Okay, now I'm ready for the day!"
"I can't resist Mom's shoes! Breaking into her closet is so much fun!"
"Instead of taking Mom's shoes, lets hijack her computer!"
"Surely the Museum won't notice if I take this duck home?"
Cooking up a storm at the Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas.
Our twin friends Cameron and Noelle joined us at the museum. Very serious play at the sand table!
