More of This and That

It's been a full couple of months that I'll sum up with photos and a video because I'm lazy.

Reading a book called Mein Körper (My Body) to each other:One page has different injuries, so here they're looking for their "little, tiny ouchies":

Their new favorite thing at the zoo is the carousel:
(and we're not allowed to hold on to them:)

My sister had back surgery, so my mom came out for 2 weeks:

Halloween came and went... One day, Stella was the Builder and Fiona a Wizard:
Another day, Fiona was the Builder and Stella was a Cowgirl:
Stella impressed Stefan by spending some time setting up a picnic for her baby:The entire idea was hers, and Stefan was only allowed to watch. She even got her floppy baby to sit up by itself:

Stella explaining what happened to her frosting. In her words: "I was having frosting, then I not have frosting anymore. Then I eat this piece..."



First dentist appointments were had and the girls enjoyed their visit. The dentist counted their teeth, commented that they looked great, let the girls hold and use the "spit sucker" and gave them a new toothbrush and a toy.
Fiona in the chair:Stella getting water squirted in her mouth, holding the spit sucker:
In case anyone was wondering, Fiona still comes out in photos looking like she's hitting a high fashion supermodel pose:
The biggest news? They've both been completely out of diapers for over a month now. I can't even call it "potty training" because they both decided to do it with no pushing from us. We even got away without using a potty chair! They just use the toilet, and we're done.

Other big news is that they love school. From a traumatic first month or so, to absolutely loving it - I still have parents coming up to me and telling me what a difference! Whew!

Finally, the newest addition to our household... I'll call her Marge:

I am loving all of the new photos, thanks so much for your diligence. I also like your house plant. I used to have one like it, we called it a Peace Lily. Do you remember? Good luck with it!
Love you,
Mom
