Update

Halle is 4 1/2 years old. She is a true princess at heart. I didn't know it was possible to be 100% pink, but Halle is. She loves to dance, sing, wear dresses and glitter, loves her nails painted, hates to get dirty, even loves to wear perfume so she "smells like flowers." We have had a fun summer together and have spent tons of time at the pool. She is getting very good at swimming informing me to, "throw away my floaties and goggles because I don't need them anymore" She is still very shy and cautious and will observe a situation for a long period of time before participating. Oh and she is suddenly very scared of cars...don't know why but she reminds me constantly to be a better driver and freaks out if I take my time crossing the street. Of course she loves to "mother" and be in charge, especially with Cohen. And a proud mother must also add that she started reading this summer. I have loved this age because Halle has become my BFF. Now if we could just get her emotions under control we would be smooth sailing...

Cohen is almost two going on three. The reason I say this is because he is a head taller then most two year olds. I have had two people ask me if Halle and Cohen were twins (when they were sitting down) and Cohen just wants to do everything Halle does. Doesn't want a crib, bib, or highchair, wants to buckle his own car seat, put on his shoes, swim independent of his life jacket (not a good idea) and is now insisting to put on his backpack and go to school. He is still my baby at heart and even though he is huge, he still loves to rock with me, loves his Binky and blanky and thank goodness he has no interest in potty training. He talks very loud and very monotone. Some of his favorite sentences are "GOING" (where are we going), "DOING" (what are you doing), "EAT", "OUTSIDE" and of course "NO." He wears me out completely, but he is so much fun too. I am just so lucky to have my girly girl and my rough house boy!
