The little women (the "big" girls.. baby girl was napping) helped bake a dessert this afternoon for tomorrow's planned cook-off. We tried something new. Maddie insisted that they were going to make popcorn, and Faith wanted to make an African style peanut soup from the Sesame Street cookbook. Ha. They agreed on cheesecake cranberry bars though. It was complicated enough that there were plenty of ingredients and it took about 40 minutes of them getting very involved. We made a huge mess, and overall it seems like it was a success. They seem to be quite good, but we'll see tomorrow. Maddie is excited for Dan to grill tomorrow, and of course, they are both super, super excited to go to Nene's house!
Faith hasn't been taking naps for the past few days in the afternoon. I swear she holds her poops until I put her down for a nap, and then declares she needs changed! Anyway, Maddie likes this because it means Faith joins her for "quiet time." The past few days after 2pm (when their quiet time is over), we've been playing "school." Faith is at the age now where she loves it just as much as Maddie. They get SUCH a kick out of being the students, and Momma being the teacher. They bring their flashcards to me, and then Maddie asks for recess. They have their science lesson, and Faith is now singing the ABC's. It's too funny. They've gotten attached to a show called "Word World" that I let them watch when I'm feeding the Beeba at 12:30pm. I like it a lot though because of the letters and words it shows them, and Faith has developed a strong interest in letters now. And, it's good for Maddie because she's sounding out her letters and figuring out the spelling of words.
We went swimming this afternoon too. Needless to say, all three of my lovely ladies are passed out and it's only 1 minute past 7pm. Maddie and Faith just love being in the big pool, and Abrie is quite content to watch and then snooze. The littlest woman just loves watching her big sisters. Of course, they get so darn close to her face that she tends to go cross-eyed (they think she can only see them if they're literally 2 centimeters from her face!), but boy does she love them. She recognizes their voices just as much as mine and Dan's. It's so neat.
It's funny too because now Faith has been calling Abrie, "Beeba Show." I don't know if she means "Beeba likes to watch shows" (she's already drawn to the colors of the TV even at 7 weeks of age.. crazy!) or what, but she calls her that non-stop. Ironically, Maddie always called Faith "Bee-yah Sheck" as in "I want to check Bee-yah's diapers." They sound extremely similar.
