Little things

Last week I went through and read our blog from the beginning. It was amazing how much I had already forgotten. So, it made me think about all the recent little things about my growing girls I want to remember. With that in mind, here are ten things about each girl I just need to jot down so they don't get lost with time.

Sara.
1. She is still obsessed with Snow White and insists that she too is a princess. We've at least convinced her that Snow White went away to the University of Texas for college. Guess where Sara now wants to go?!?
2. Sara has three best friends. Madeliene - a daughter of friends that we have, Olivia, our next door neighbor. And, her very best friend at school is an adorable little boy named Brody. She can't stop talking about Brody.
3. At dinner every night, we let Sara lead us in prayer. She always thanks God for her food and also for "Daddy, Mommy, Sara and Georgia". She adds in that last part all on her own :) Very sweet.
4. She knows her address, including what state and city she lives in. Chad has also taught her how to spell Texas.
5. She loves playing pretend and her favorite activity, as of recent, is playing with her dollhouse. She even has Brody playing alongside her at school with the dollhouse up there.
6. She is such a scheduler and always wants to know the plan for the day, and sometimes the week.
7. She feeds El Paso every morning and frequently asks if he can sleep with her. We've tried a few times, and El Paso just isn't into going to bed at 7 PM quite yet.
8. Whenever a song comes on, she wants to know what instrument the person is playing and what the song is called. If it is a woman signing, she will then tell us that it is her "wedding song". As of recent, she's said her favorite song is "Jolie" by Dolly Parton.
9. Sara insists that Uncle Craiger is really just Alicia's brother. We've tried to explain that they are married but she won't buy it. She also thinks that Alicia lives in "Winter Wonderland" and among the polar bears.
10. Sara likes to help me fold clothes. And, frankly, I let her have at it when it comes to her own clothes. She does a pretty good job, too.

Georgia Ann.
1. When she is in a good mood, Georgia is such a joy to be around. She is full of smiles and goofy personality. She can be quite the little ham.
2. While she loves playing with balls and is a little more "rough and tumble" than Sara was, she still insists on having a bow in her hair before she leaves the house. In fact, she insits on having a bow in her hair before going to bed too (but she loses this fight).
3. Reading books are becoming one of Georgia Ann's favorite activities (yay!) and her vocabulary is really picking up. I would bet that she can say over 50 words pretty regularly. And, she knows her name.
4. She does not like having El Paso in the house during meal times and will yell "no, no" while wagging her finger at him, if we forget to put him outside.
5. While she loves her sister (they are starting to play together!), her favorite activity in the car is pulling Sara's hair. And, yes, she does it to purposely bug her. Georgia Ann is smart.
6. Georgia Ann LOVES to dance. At school, they'll play country music and she'll dance for anyone who will watch.
7. Her favorite game to play right now is "Ring Around the Rosie" and she loves it when Sara will play with us.
8. Georgia Ann is entering into the tantrum phase, and we think she'll be quite the expert. When she gets mad (which usually happens anytime you have to tell her no), she'll stomp her feet, get bright red and do her ugly cry. It is so hard not to laugh at her because, really, it is too precious.
9. She thinks she is as big as Sara and will follow her around trying to do the same things.
10. Apples are her favorite fruit - and she will eat the entire thing. Core and all.

Anyway, what's a post without a few pictures. Here a few from last week.
