Girls,
We have had a tough couple of weeks. Pop and Grandaddy have both been in the hospital all week. I have been going back and forth to Nashville and Huntsville and you two have been tossed around all week so it was good to hang out this afternoon. Bibby, you are really in to playing "Mommy and grandma." We do that quite a bit these days. You speak to me in a really grown up voice when we play and whenever you are addressing me say, "my darling." Today we were in the driveway and you were the mom and the Sunday school teacher. We drew on the driveway as our "lesson." You are very in to pretend these days. You and MoMo made bread dough ornaments to go on the Easter tree that we made. You took the job of painting these very seriously. You are really soaking up life. You said in the car the other night, "Mom, I love you so much I could just cry!" I looked over at your dad and about did. Virginia, we have been calling you the "octumom." Like the crazy lady that just had octuplets you are completely obsessed with babies. You will be playing and will realize you don't have one around you and will look up from what you are doing, start saying, "baby" and won't stop until you have one....or five. You are so much fun right now. I can't tell that cognitively you have really changed this past month. You follow (almost) all commands and know exactly what we are talking about. In public you act really shy. Especially around men and put your head down on my shoulder but at home you are a wild woman. Just today Bibby had the fridge open to get out her drink and when I turned around you had popped the top to the flip-top mayo container and had hand fulls of mayonnaise. I gagged. We have really done a lot these past couple of weeks. Yesterday we drove to the Chattanooga Aquarium and today we had your pictures made. This spring weather has been wonderful. We are going to have a ball this summer.
