5 things

Let's start with Annmarie.

1.  She completed her first year of primary school - kindergarten.  She had a great year and the best teacher. It was an adjustment (for all of us) and there was plenty of drama a long the way, but overall it was a success.
2.  We kept the extra curricular activities to a minimum this year - swimming and nippers are the two things she participated in.
3. When I asked her what her favorite things to do are and she said; playing with friends, making things with the beads from Ikea, riding her scooter and the ipad. I asked her; what about swimming and she said "we do that all the time" with a eye roll. 
4. She has become a pro at Go Fish (the card game).  She can't hold all the cards in her hand so we have to set up a little block-aid for her, but she's fierce.
5. For her Birthday she flipped back and forth with having either; pies, tacos or sushi for dinner. She went with pies.

Now this little man.

1.  He's a mamas boy.
2.  Bugs, dirt, garbage trucks, trains, dinosaurs, water - obsessed.
3. He's a mad man on the scooter. Santa got him a balance bike for Christmas thinking he would love it like the scooter, but he pretty much wants nothing to do with it. Annmarie likes to potter around on it, but it's like five times too small for her.
4.  He still has a mean appetite and if he does skip a meal or not eat a lot, he'll always, always make up for it. 
5.  He has a temper. I guess the books would call him spirited. He's a bit self absorbed.
