On a happy note, Adia wrote her name again today. She was helping make something for her Uncle's birthday and she decided to write her name. She did a kick ass job! I'm so proud of her. She just keeps getting better and better.

Can we say wow?
Up until today, I've never had a real, total blow out. Sure, we've had poop on the pants or poop all the way up the back of a diaper and onto a shirt or onesie. We've also experienced the leaky diaper with pee coming out the side, but that was all nothing compared to what happened today, while standing at the register in Old Navy. I should have taken a picture, really, I should have. It was spectacular. First we smelled it. Since Leia was still fast asleep, we knew it had to Mira. Then, we saw it. Because of the way the crotch strap pushed the diaper, there was no stopping it. Mira successfully coated her dress, stroller and the floor. The cashier was surprisingly helpful.. she probably was glad that she didn't have to clean it up. We cleaned up the floor before moving the poopy baby and stroller off to the side before cleaning the rest up. I don't think the stroller will ever be the same again.

The Lake
We went to the lake this last weekend, but first I discovered that Mira's allergic to the same type of sunscreen that I am. Poor sweetheart. We both broke out in hives, but hers was much worse than mine. I think I need to start labeling the sunscreens because there's one that Leia and Adia can use and then there's the one that Mira and I can use. If Adia uses ours, she gets hives. If Mira and I use Adia's, we get hives. It's just so confusing.
The lake was fun. When we got there is was overcast and not particularly warm, but within minutes, the sun came out and it got hot.
The twins loved the sand. Once again, Leia kept eating it, but Mira was happy to dig in the sand to fill a bucket. They also got their toes wet. Leia enjoyed walking in the sand, but didn't really like the water.
The girls all fell asleep on the car ride home and woke up grumpy. Adia was awful. She had a few sweet moments before she lost it again. It was nice when she finally fell asleep again.
Today I took Adia over to her preschool to register. She kept saying she didn't want to go and she didn't like school, etc, but once we were in the door and she saw her classroom, she didn't want to leave. She's a social butterfly so when she saw all the other kids, she wanted to play with all of them. I know she's going to have a blast there this fall. I just hope she doesn't have too many meltdowns. They've been especially awful lately and tough to deal with.
And yesterday, Adia wrote her name! She's been spelling it for months now, but refused to even try writing it, even though I thought she could. At the age of 3, she already has a fear of failure. She can draw the most adorable people and faces and can trace dotted lines so I knew writing her name would be easy. She recognizes the entire alphabet, upper and lower case so I didn't think it would too tough for her. She finally did it. She has a little trouble making the "A", but each time she gets better.
