1st timeout

Today was Alessandra's first timeout.

She decided that it is funny to pull Julianna’s hair.

I told her that it was not nice and she just smiled at me...
the 2nd time, Julianna was lying down and she grabbed a hand full of hair from Julianna ... I yelled at her and said NO ...
... after 1 minute she ran to Julianna and did it again.

Jason picked her up and put her facing the wall ... she stayed there for less than one minute but for me felt like an eternity... she was really upset and came to give me with her bottom lip sticking out as far as possible (how do they learn to do that?), gave me hug and cried for a little bit

This daddy is so mean :-)

Matilda

Julianna started pre-K ..next year she is going to Kindergarten

The teachers asked the students to bring a friend to introduce to the class. Julianna chose her Unicorn ... She forgot the name of the Unicorn and for the last 2 days she has been trying to remember it - Matilda

Every 5 minutes she would ask me what was her name again ?

Any way .. she went to school and had a very good day ... when she got home, I asked her how was Matilda and Julianna said: "Matilda?? Matilda who ??"

She came home from school with a fever so she is going to spend tomorrow at home with Daddy.

VOVO

Alessandra said Vovo (Portugese for Grandma) for the first time today.
I am not sure what my mom did to Alessandra but now she says Vovo the whole day long.

Every day that my mom comes to my house, Alessandra sits in her little chair and puts her feet up so my mom can color her toenails. That one is going to be very high maintenance.

so far, she knows the words: Ball, Dog, Vovo and.. Uh-oh

I love you from the sky to the floor ...

When we are dropping Julianna at school or putting her to sleep, it is always the same thing...

"Mommy or Daddy

I love you with all my heart, from the floor to the sky, and all the world with all the things in it and from the sky to the moon "

... I just want to remember this forever

I love you the same way Julianna
