Playing dress up

This is one of the girls' favorite things to do these days. Heidi likes to dress up Iris, and Iris enjoys being a little princess for like 5 minutes every day. Heidi brushes Iris's hair, put on shoes and dress for her. And the tiara too. Heidi herself prefers to be a cow girl rather than a princess. I think she is completely grew out of the princess phase. It's good that we always have some princess in the house.

Family zoo fun

 The girls and LB go to the zoo about once a month. I hadn't been to the zoo forever because of my crazy schedules. This time finally the four of us went together and of course we had a lot of fun. Heidi is at a phase that she asks me to take a lot of pictures of her. She poses for pictures. Actually she likes to take pictures herself. I may give her my camera when she's a little older. Iris started to make 'fake' smiles and poses in front of the camera. I can't remember when Heidi started doing this, but definitely when she was older.

LB and Heidi tried this (I can't remember the name) the first time. Heidi was excited and always wanted to try, but they couldn't make it because LB needed to watch Iris. This time they finally went. It turned out Heidi was a little scared. They didn't go to the upper levels. But it was a good try!

Iris is two years old

I can't believe this little girl is 2 already. She's been in daycare for almost 4 months. I can't remember how many times she was sick. Too many times, at least 2-3 times a month, and even on her birthday. Despite the sickness, she's been picking up so much English words and sentences.

She can say: what's this? I can't do that. Let me see. It's broken. Ha-Bi-You (for Happy Bithday Day to you), I don't know. It's mine, etc. etc. She surprises us everyday with her new vocabulary. 

She moved to the 2 years old class the week after her birthday. She bit a boy in her class. This girl is a biter since she was a baby. Hope we won't get another incident report.
