An Update Before We Go On Vacation

Diya Diya Diya!!! This girl is going to make me grey!!!! She has to be the most persistent kid on the planet!!! She also loves to climb. Here is how our day goes: Diya climbs on something - I pull her off OR Diya gets into something she shouldn't be into - I take it away - Repeat over and over and over and over again. Even if she drives me crazy I still LOVE her a ton. Here are some of Diya's new tricks: She tries to fill her cup up from the fridge, luckily she isn't tall enough yet to reach the water. She brushes her hair and teeth and washes her own face. She can point to her eyes and can even say it. She is learning lots of new words, but her favorite is NO!! Lucky me.

Here is my little cheese ball!!! Isha is doing great. She will be testing for her yellow belt at Tae Kwon Do this weekend. She is really enjoying school and has lots of fun playing with all her classmates. Lately she has become more defiant and her attitude has grown!!! Eventually she does what you want her to do, but she has been pushing it a little farther lately.

Poor Diya has been kind of whiny lately. She is getting her molars and she has been very sensitive. The smallest thing will set her off. I have been giving her Tylenol and hopefully her teeth will pop through soon.

Here is a much happier picture!!

Yesterday Diya pulled her stocking off the mantle and the heavy pointed snowflake hit her on her head leaving a nice little hole. Luckily it didn't bleed very much and the cut is up in her hair so hopefully there won't be a visible scar. At this point I am thinking that it might be safest to put Diya in a helmet 24/7!!!

Tonight we are going to our neighborhood clubhouse to see Santa Claus. This will be a first for both of the girls so it should be fun. I am expecting some crying to be involved. I will post some pictures this weekend. Then we are off to the Dominican Republic. We will have lots of great pictures and stories to share!

Here is one of Isha's school pictures. I didn't really need any pictures of her and these were really spendy, but how do you say no to this? So like a sucker I ended up ordering one sheet. I got a different pose from this one, but I scanned this so I could share it with all of you.
