Mother's Day and other stuff

So for Mother's Day we went out for sushi and it was fun. We just packed lunches for the kids and they enjoyed watching the food roll by on the conveyor belt. Then I got some movies and a handprint project that David helped the kids make for me. It was a very good day. Johnny seems to be catching on with the sippy cups of milk thing, which is great. Previous to weaning beginning I did 3 pumpings a day while at work, so now I'm doing 2 a day. I'll have to space them out so I don't get too heavy or it'll hurt. Johnny has become a little climber of furniture lately. He really likes climbing on Holly's upholstered chair, but then he'll fall down and be really unhappy. Hopefully he figures out balance soon. He has figured out waving and peek-a-boo and does that a lot. Johnny is cruising with more confidence but no real walking yet. I think Holly was about 15-16 months when she did. Holiday's dance class is gearing up for the end of the year dance recital so everybody's excited. They still have about 6 weeks to go, so it's all about practice right now.

Johnny's Sizes

-Phasing out diapers and wearing undies
-Currently size 4T

-Need to check his shoe size, has one pair of tennis shoes, boots and flip flops.
-Has summer wardrobe set. He'll need pants, long-sleeve shirts, winter weight pajamas, and socks in the fall. Probably will need a coat since we didn't get one last year. Jacket seems to fit for now.
-Loves trains-trains-trains, legos, balls, blocks, cars, Thomas trains, stuffed animals, music toys and board books. Still very tactile. Loves to color and read books. Very into Elmo, Blue's Clues and Thomas the Train and generally tv shows with music involved. He likes to do a happy dance to music. Also loves to play outside when he can. Did I mention he really loves trains?

Holiday's Sizes

- Holly is size 5 or XS depending on where you shop. If getting leggings I recommend a size 6 since she tends to fill those out.
- Shoe size 11.5, has boots, 1 pair of dress shoes, tennis shoes, ballet slippers, flip flops, sandals and tap shoes. Last summer she got new shoes at the beginning of summer camp and by the time school started her feet grew a size. So shoe size to be revisited before she goes back to school.
- She has a jacket and all the summer wardrobe necessary. She has a couple pairs of jeans, short sleeved shirts and short sleeved dresses. She will need long sleeved dresses, leggings, undies, and socks. Will need to check if her coat will carry through the winter.
- I'm not picky about colors, but Holly is a girlie girl. She doesn't care for jumpers too much either or scratchy tulle skirts.
- Some of Holly's interests include but are not limited to: Sesame Street, Yo Gabba Gabba, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Mickey Mouse, Super Why, Blue's Clues and animals in general. She loves to color, puzzles, books, stickers, legos and toys she can generally play pretend with. Holly also enjoys simple craft projects like ink stamping, painting and gluing projects. She really enjoys playing outside too (but she has more than plenty when it comes to toys to play in the sandbox).
