I haven't updated on how the girls have been doing recently, but a few things have stuck out over the last few weeks that I'd be neglectful not to mention.

First of all, Megan is now singing "I like to move it move it!" at totally random moments pretty much every day now.  I'd like to blame Reel to Real for this...well, for it ever being made, that is....but I'm not sure who to blame for where this came from.  My force-powers in the Google tell me that it was part of the movie Madagascar, so I'm wondering if she watched this at school one day.  Cuz we don't own that movie.

The teachers at school have now named Megan "Little Einstein" and Emily as "Baby Einstein."  I mean, the teachers that we don't even know.  Periodically random people come up to me in the morning and tell me about long conversations they have with Megan.  Emily is content not to be walking yet, but she's saying a few words (Hi!, Bye-bye!, I love you!, Dizz! [er, the dog's name], Da-da!, and every once in a while, Ma!....all said with great inflection).  She also has a certain unbreakable determination once she sets her mind on something.  We've quickly discovered that moving toys out of sight or into cabinets does not even begin to stop her.  As Lis commented just this morning, "Daddy, do you think a simple cabinet door is going to stop me?"  I better get myself up to speed.

It's also nice to see the girls starting to interact more as they are getting older.  Last night Megan and Emily had a pony ride on Megan's purple elephant (What? You think I'm going to start making stuff up now??) while Megan sang her riding song and Emily bounced.  Emily was falling off the back of the elephant so Megan told her to get in front, and then put her arms around Emily's tummy and head on her shoulder so that E wouldn't fall off.  Too cute.  I am dead from the cuteness.  Megan will also sing to Emily now if Emily gets upset to try and cheer her up.  It may not be in tune, but I rarely hear Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star sung with such heart and determination.

I'll try to bask in the glory days of them getting along now so that the memory will be fresh down the road when the two of them try to kill each other.  Teenage years, I cannot wait for thee.
