Just had to share

So yesterday we went to pick up Parker and Sydney from the nursery after church and I had a proud Mommy moment. The woman who was working in the nursery said, "I just have to tell you that your little girl has the best manners I have ever seen. She says "please" and "thank you" for everything." Not bad for a 22 month old.

We have certain songs that we sing to the kids all the time. Some with the real words and others just made up for fun. Well, I have been singing the oldies song, "Sweet Pea" by Tommy Roe to Sydney since the day she was born. That's my song to her. Of course I make up some of my own lyrics. This is how I sing it.."I went to a dance just the other night when I saw girl there she was out of sight. I asked a friend of mine who she could be, we don't her name, just call her Sweet Pea. Oh Sweet Pea, oh won't you come dance with me, come on come on come one and dance with Mommy." Sydney got to a point where she would fill in certain parts of the song when I would sing it to her. Anyway, the other day I started to sing it when Parker chimed in. He started singing the song. This is the way he sings it, "Oh Sweet Pea, mumble, mumble, mumble, on and on and on and mmmm with Mommy." It is so cute.

Parker has really been showing off his smarts lately. The other day he surprised us by picking up some shape magnets and naming them without being asked to. He says square, circle, and triangle. That's how Parker is though..surprising us all the time. Out of no where he lets you in on something he knows.

Sydney has become quite the dancer these days. Anytime, anywhere she hears music, she just stops right then and there and starts dancing. She gets so into it. Shaking those hips and moving her arms back and forth. She has turned into such a little girl. She is no longer my baby girl. She giggles and acts silly. She has gotten very good at getting dressed and undressed. She likes to put her shoes on and take her shoes off, take them off and put them back on. Speaking of getting dressed. She LOVES playing dress up. She only has a couple little dress up skirts but she loves putting them on and wearing them all day. What a little princess.

Parker has become such a great brother. All be it for less than a minute, he still is her "big" brother. He is so sweet to Sydney. He is always so thoughful when it comes to her. If he gets his drink, he gets "Syn" her drink too.(that's what he calls her, Syn). If he picks up a toy, he gets a toy for her too. If he finds a leave on the ground, he gets one for her too. It so sweet to see their relationship growing and changing everyday.
