TV time

May 10, 2013 johnandgillwentupahillLeave a comment

The kids have been really good the past couple of days, so they got to watch a few TV shows tonight. They mainly watch shows on Netflix. Since John knows how to operate the remote he normally gets to pick what they watch. They started watching an episode of Super Hero Squad.  During Super Hero Squad,… Continue reading TV time

No nap

I picked the kids up from school today. In the car on our way home, I asked the kids about their day. Gillian said “I don’t wanna talk about it now!” She crossed her arms and refused to talk to me. I asked John about his day. He said “It was great. Mom, can I… Continue reading No nap

Gillian loves to play dress-up. She loves wearing her princesses dresses and more recently she has started to dress up as a super hero. She loves to wear John’s cape and all the various super hero masks. She always asks for help with the masks and they need to be placed on her head so… Continue reading Dress-up

Costco adventures

May 6, 2013 johnandgillwentupahillLeave a comment

In the car on our way to Costco today, I said to Daddy “What’s that clicking sound?” The clicking I heard sounded like it was coming from the engine. But from the backseat, Gillian said “It’s me!” And she started clicking her tongue and continued to do it until we got to the store. The… Continue reading Costco adventures

Too much FaceTime

May 5, 2013 johnandgillwentupahillLeave a comment

Yesterday we called Mimi for her birthday. We had Daddy’s phone on speaker so Mimi could hear both of the kids. John talked first and then Gillian got a turn. She said “Happy Birthday! Look at my kitty!” And she took the phone and pointed it at her shirt. She was trying to show Mimi… Continue reading Too much FaceTime

It was so nice outside today. Daddy picked up the kids and decided to go to a local playground. I met them there. John had already made a friend by the time I arrived. John was chasing the little boy all around the playground. Then John started yelling, “Hey! I got a sister! Her name… Continue reading Playground

Passing the buck

Tonight, Daddy and I asked Gillian to get her brother for dinner. He was upstairs in his room. She started to walk toward the stairs and stopped. “I can’t do it.” Again, we encouraged Gillian to go upstairs to get John. She looked at us, pointed at me and said “Mom can do it!” During… Continue reading Passing the buck

For a long time, John has wanted to learn how to whistle. We have tried to teach him, but he never quite got it. But recently he has figured it out. I’m not sure when it happened. I heard him doing it the other day and I asked Daddy how long he has been doing… Continue reading Whistling

Trucks!

The kids had a truck-filled weekend. On Saturday, Mimi took them to the Touch a Truck event in Wall. During Touch a Truck, the kids get to climb into all the township trucks and learn about them from township employees. Both kids looked exhausted when they got home on Saturday afternoon. I asked them to… Continue reading Trucks!

Look what I can do!

April 27, 2013 johnandgillwentupahillLeave a comment

This morning, John came running into our room. “Mom! Dad! Look what I can do!” And he holds up both hands and snaps. He snaps a few times. We say, that’s great! He turns around and walks out of the room. Gillian, who was behind him the whole time, walks up to us and says… Continue reading Look what I can do!
