Selfies

Margot is working on her selfies.

Margot did the cutest thing ever.

These little moments are my great joys. I just told Margot that in 10 minutes we’re going to leave and pick up Hazel. And then we’re going to the playroom at YMCA where she and Hazel will play while I exercise. I asked her if that was ok with her. She immediately grinned widely and […]

Margot just found out the sports class today is for 4+.

Yes, seriously. Hazel was talking about sports class, and then Margot said "me me" while touching her chest. I explained it was for 4 years and older. She put her head on hand and wailed. On Mon, Mar 28, 2016, 8:46 AM Kim <kimluujennings> wrote: Lol seriously? Is that the context?

Hazel drew a picture

Hazel drew this last night after dinner. She said this was a picture of Mommy, Daddy, Hazel grown up and holding Margot, Grandma, and Grandpa and his beard. I’m thrilled that Hazel thinks I am so tall in her mind. 🙂

Margot’s Words

Margot has been a little slower to speak than Hazel was, but it starting to build a vocabulary. As of today, she says: Uh oh Wah wah wah Boots Woo ooh woo ooh – to refer to her firtruck boots. Elwa (Elsa) – for anything Frozen related Nai (milk in Chinese) Mama Dadda GA JE […]

While playing the “ist game” in the car

Mommy: “I had the funniest day.” Hazel: “I have the nicest sister. Right Margot?” Sibling love is so sweet. We spent the day playing with Uncle Ton, Aunt Secelia, and Kelly. We rode out scooters around, raced in the driveway, kicked a ball, goofed off. Loved it.

Outfit

Margot wanted in on the outfit fun. She’s also getting better at talking, she clearly said "boot" and "woo ooh woo ooh" in case there was any uncertainty about which boots.

Starbucks

Margot and I are the early birds of the family, and so its not uncommon for us to head over to Starbucks on a weekend morning to let Kim and Hazel sleep in. I spend a lot of time with both girls, but I don’t really get a ton of time with just Margot, so […]

Margot loves coloring

Margots loves coloring perhaps even more than Hazel did at the same age. She frequently grabs any sketch book or coloring book she sees around the house, grabs some crayons, and then happily sits down to scribble away. Then she points at it and shows me what she’s done or what Hazel has done. Sometimes […]

Today’s outfits

Margot likes nothing better than wearing Hazel’s clothes. We’ve discussed getting rid of hers and just storing one set.

New toy

Margot loves her new wooden bead toy

Santa

Despite two attempts, Margot was having nothing to do with Santa. Hazel was happy to have a second chance because she forget to tell him something the first time.

Happy

Yesterday Margot was being fussy and difficult, and Hazel had a huge tantrum. At some point, I texted Kim that I was over being a sahd, and was going to look for a job. Today everything is great. Margot is happy and we are having fun running errands and going to her speech therapist. Its […]

Just like Hazel

< p dir=”ltr”>Margot wants exactly what Hazel has. I got her to wear the sweater I wanted her to wear this morning, but only by having Hazel put it on first. Then Margot wanted it. I put a barette in Hazel’s hair, and Margot screeched until she got one. Hazel wanted Cheerios on the way […]

Blocks

< p dir=”ltr”>We are playing with blocks. Margot keeps trying to put three in a straight line. But she gets two lined up, then moves the middle one to line up with the third, and gets upset that the first two are no longer aligned. Pretty funny. < p dir=”ltr”>

Hiding

< p dir=”ltr”>Margot loves for me to build a hiding place. Then she waits for me to say "where’s Margot?" And screams and pops out. < p dir=”ltr”>

Megabus

< p dir=”ltr”>These days, whatever Hazel has or is doing, Margot wants or wants to do. We have an early bus ride from Washington D.C. To NYC, and Kim had given Margot a chunk or croissant. As soon as she saw that Hazel had a while croissant, she got very upset and started squealing. Handed […]
