auburn stuff

Here are a few things that Auburn has said to me this week.  I thought I would share.

Referring to a lego creation she built:
"Mom, this is a scary fire bird that eats tiger meat."
(I have no idea where that came from)

As we were walking down the street,
"I want to ride in a convertible.  I would like to feel the wind in my hair."  And then she shook her head so that her hair would move.

While we were at the mall this week:
A: "Mom, I want want new clothes."
me: "You have clothes."
A: "But I like wearing new clothes."
(We are in trouble when she is a teenager.  She also told me this week that she wants earrings and to wear makeup.)

Conley ask me for a tissue and Auburn volunteered to help him.  She wiped his nose and then told me "Mom, I put the tissue in my pocket in case he needs it again."  A few minutes later I hear "Conley do you need to blow your nose, let me help you (as she gets the tissue from her pocket).  Oh, and let's wipe off that milk face."
She takes really good care of him.

They are both so grown up! I can't wait to SQUEEZE 'em! We're a bit stressed on this end. We didn't realize your passport can't expire w/in 3 months of leaving a few countries on our list. Monday I start the scramble to get B a new one.

Jodi, I got my ears pierced when I was a baby, but don't let that influence your decision.

I have NEVER had my ears pierced!

Prague

So this week Simon's parents were in town visiting, and we decided to take a little weekend trip. The night before we left we decided on Prague. None of us had ever been there, we didn't have to drive over the Alps, and it was relatively close only about 3 and half hours away. Before we left we had to make sure that the rental car could drive to the Czech Republic, because apparently not all rental cars can, they have to be a certain type. I still don't know why. To make our adventure even crazier, the bag with Simon and my stuff in it somehow didn't make into the car. We did not make this discovery until we were at our hotel. Luckily, Auby's stuff made it and we had our coats and gloves. We did however, miss our thermals it was very cold. I'm sorry that there aren't more pictures of Auburn. She was bundled up in her stroller. Prague is a really neat city and has a lot to explore. Here are some of pictures..... St. Nicholas Church, where Mozart once played t...

reading

Auburn has been asking me to teach her to read.  So, I decided to try and just see what would happen.  She just barely turned four and I didn't want to push her, but she was excited so we started.  I am also not a fan of German Kindergarten (preschool here) and I know that she needed some extra stimulation.  Thank heavens for the internet and a knowledgeable sister-in-law.  We have been doing word family crafts, a sight word caterpillar and working on phonics.  There are so many wonderful resources out there to make learning to read fun.  She is really reading now and loves it.  She picks up books and reads the words she knows and asks us for the ones she doesn't know.  She is sounding words out and totally amazes me.  Right now she will read to anyone that will sit down with her.  reading to Uncle Seth and Conley  This is a common scene at our house, and makes me so happy.
