Erica is becoming quite the little artist these days. She received, as a gift for Christmas, a large set of markers. She has been using them to draw numerous pictures, many of girls in pretty dresses, and several have lately been pictures of pirates on ships and their treasure maps. Honestly I don’t know where she came up with the idea to do that, but she and I played pirates tonight with a telescope she made from a toilet paper roll. We took turns hiding a "treasure" for the other to find, and giving a clue by looking through the telescope to where the treasure was hidden. She is growing up so fast I can hardly believe it!
Isaac got a city rug for Christmas with roads and train tracks on it, as well as several cars, trucks, and trains. One of his very favorite things to do is take all his cars and trucks and trains and put them "home" on the rug. He loves to line them up in a row or drive them around on the rug. He even shares with his sisters occasionally, and will let Erica come play cars on the rug with him. It’s fun to see him have such an interest in something.
Cambria is walking! Nothing huge yet, but she will take 3 or 4 steps to get from one thing to another. She is very proud of herself for doing it, but still gets surprised by us praising her (rather loudly in our excitement) and sits down instead of continuing her trek across the floor. Won’t be long now and she’ll be toddling all over the house!
