Updates: Sabrina (with a bit of Celia)


Sabrina is hilarious and getting so big and old.  We haven't started potty training her yet.  But she has decided to do it all herself.  She demanded she wear panties about a week ago.  With very few accidents, she was doing pretty well, but I was getting pretty tired of poop in panties, so I moved her to pull-ups (which I'm sort of opposed to for potty training).  I told her that if she got the poop out in the potty, she could start wearing her Elmo panties again.  So today, she got the poop out in the potty three times.  She's got drive, that's for sure.  So we're close.

In other Sabrina updates, she's really funny as she always has been.  But whereas Celia has always been witty (even at 2), Sabrina is silly.  She's got goofy comedic timing and can come up with hilarious thing to say.  She doesn't play on words like Celia always has, but just has good timing.  Today, we were looking at a picture book of Celia when she was Sabrina's age.  And she was pointing at all the clothes (which now fit Sabrina) and she said: "This was Celia's.  And now I wear it.  And this one.  And this one.  And this one.  And your Zumba clothes."  Not her funniest example, but what I could come up with from today.

Sabrina is also our drama queen.  Anytime something doesn't go exactly accord to plan, she collapses on the floor.  She used to be a big kicking screaming tantrum thrower, but now she just collapses.  It's funny.  And her arguments to everything are either "But I want to" Or "But I don't!"  Sabrina, it's time to come eat dinner. [Collapses]  "But I don't!"  She's easily distracted, however (unlike Celia), and it's usually pretty easy to snap her out of it.

Both girls are awesome.  They play so well together.  They still talk and sing to eachother through the wall at nighttime.  And when we kneel down for family prayers before bed, both try to come up with the most elaborate place to kneel down (halfway up the ladder to Celia's bed, on top of the lego box, etc.).  They are both at a really great age and things have gotten really fun around here.
