UPDATE

I have been meaning to do an update on the girls. So here goes....

Claire had her 3 year check two weeks ago and is in the 50% for height and weight and looks great. I was surprised how different the well checks are at 3 years of age. They checked her ears, eyes, balance and more. She did great and seemed so old.

Claire started her first dance class last week. This is the first time that I have not had to be involved in the class. It is really neat to sit and watch her as she takes direction and interacts with other children. It is really fun.

Addison started walking! YEAH!!!! She began walking on March 4th. I was kind of sad because my she started about two hours after my Dad left from his visit at our house. She is getting better and better everyday. It has gotten a lot easier since she is walking because it allows her to do a lot more with Claire.

Addy is also talking soooo much. She learns more and more everyday. She says "thank you" all the time. It is really cute. She also says, "big girl" after she does something she is proud of. I love this age because she is learning so much.

Both of the girls have cut down on there naps (poor me). Addison switched to only 1 nap a day. This is easier because now we can get out earlier in the morning. Claire has wanted to stop napping all together. This is sooo hard. It gives me no breaks. I would say she naps about 50% of the time. I do however make her have 45 minutes if quiet time in her room. Sometimes she falls asleep and sometimes she doesn't. I had no idea how much I enjoyed naps until I started loosing them. I am sure it is something I will get used to.

The girls are best friends. I love it! I look forward to the year ahead.

i just want to say that i think it's awesome that you climbed up the tunnel today at mcd's with addison. you are such a good mom.

sorry your kids aren't napping as much. they're getting all grown up. although i must add that i did love it when brennan switched to one nap and i could put my kids down at the same time.
