So, this past week, I got to experience what it's like to be a mother of two. Well, it was only a part-time gig, but nonetheless, it was an entirely new challenge to pick up two little ones from daycare and get them safely into the car. I was not so bold as to attempt grocery shopping with the two of them. How do mothers/fathers of twins do it??! Really, it was quite fun though. Leila and her B.F.F. Maddy (also a neighbor and daycare friend) play wonderfully together. Below, you can catch some glimpses of their time together.
Happy companions!
Good buddies Harper and Chloe (and Jack, not pictured here, boo hoo) came over for our ritual Wednesday night rotating dinner. Harper and Chloe are such excellent big sisses/role models for Leila, not to mention that they're beautiful, smart and lots of fun! Obviously!
Did I mention that these girls are lots of fun?!
Glad someone's getting some use out of these.
Leila, truly avante garde in her fashion statements.
In a post-pirouette that was the exclamation point to her pride in putting her right shoe on all by herself, Leila then proceeded to embark on a couple victory laps around the house.
Funny girl, indeed.
I took Leila out to Kaweah Oaks Preserve last Saturday for an informative talk about bats given by Burleigh the "Bat Lady." Leila may not have been the best listener (in fact, at one point, she tried to join Burleigh "on stage" and tell the 50+ audience what she thought about bats) but I'll be sure to remind her down the road why bats are super cool creatures. Below, the sun is well along its path of descent, illuminating my efforts to keep Leila distracted.
We packed a picnic for the event. Below, Leila takes a huge bite out of her first sandwich ever (roasted eggplant and squash with garlic aioli and homegrown tomatoes, yum).
