Claire went a whole day today without wearing a head band.  Even mentioned it to me "Mommy, I'm not going to wear a headband all day."

Favorite phrase of the moment - "lawning" and "lawner".  "Mommy, why is he lawning his yard?" "Look at that lawner!!"  Coined by Claire, but used by Kaitlin also.

Walked up to neighborhood pool today and Kaitlin was sooo excited to get to ride all the slides now b/c she is tall enough.  She rode them probably 50 times while Claire and I played.  She was a kid in a candy store and asked me at one point "Mom, can I just go ride them and not have to tell you?"  Big moment.

Bryn is a huge parrot these days.  Will repeat pretty much anything you say.  She is also very demonstrative and is constantly pointing things out to anyone who will listen and having a whole Chinese conversation with us about it.  Strangers, family, makes no difference.  She often talks to people in the grocery store at length.  She loves to read and is always walking around with a book in her hand, looking for a lap to plop onto.  She walks around saying "Brown bear, brown bear" (sounds like "brown bare", kind of a Boston accent where she doesn't really pronounce the end of bear, I need to record it).  They also all 3 play the game that Kaitlin and Claire used to play, where they run around the house chasing each other laughing and screaming.  It is loud but music to my ears!

What cracks me up about this series of photos is Claire's expressions. I can't help but wonder if she is what Bryn is pointing at in the one photo she is not in. She seems like she's got some spunk!

I can't believe how big Kaitlin is getting either. Emily is still waiting to ride the slides. She's like 35 1/2", and they won't let her on!
