Children Update

When I got Grace up from bed this morning, she walked in her closet and told me she was going "grocery shopping". Then she ran back and asked for a hug and kiss, and then back off into her grocery store, closing the door behind her. A minute or so later, she knocked on the door, and when I asked "who is it?", she told me "the neighbors!". She also got her first haircut two nights ago; just a little bit off her bangs which were in her eyes, but the last two mornings when I've gotten her up, she's told me "first haircut! In bathroom." Some other Gracie-isms -

• "what happened?", whenever Mom or Dad move something around, like the basket of kid shoes. Usually said in a very concerned tone, with her arms emphatically gesturing.
• "I love him!" - Often in reference to Andrew, but sometimes a random toy, like the picture of the "man in his nightcap" she accidently pulled out of her Night Before Christmas pop-up book.
• "It's won-derful!" - Again, said very emphatically with gestures. I suspect she picked this up from her WeeSing DVD.
• "I don't like it. I don't like it at all!" - Often referring to diaper changes, but last week she said this about her blue, singing hippo. Followed a couple mornings later by "I love him!"
  

Andrew's starting to play with his toys finally, though he easily gets overwhelmed by them still. But yesterday, I laid him on our bed and dangled some rings in front of his face, and he'd bat at them awhile. But when I try a more complex toy, he immediately makes a face and starts quietly fussing. He's getting really good at holding his head up now when I have him up on my shoulder, and he's still such a happy baby! As soon as I get within his view, he just smiles and grins!
