I've been working on numbers (1-5) with the boys. This morning Ivan said 3 was how old he was, then I showed him 1 for Dominique, 2 for her next birthday and 4 for his next birthday. Well, that sent him off. He's got the entire year figured out. He wants a teddy bear birthday with paper (pinata) and we have to put candy in it and hit it with the stick from the shed- and of course he needs the matching teddy bear cake. Then he asked Dominique if she wanted a teddy bear party, but she said no. He made several other suggestions and she said yes to a dog birthday, with dog pinata and cake.
Dominique's new skills include putting cds in the player, starting them and ejecting dvds.
Here are the kids with their loot Valentine's day. Dominique was given a barbie from the dollar store. One of the reasons they are so affordable is because their clothes are virtually non existent, so we had to get something the barbie could wear! And she got chocolates from her daddy. Daddy got Ivan a flashlight. We don't get them stuff very often - they already have so much, but they do get so much delight from the simplest things.
Here's big Buddy with his braids.
I don't know that he'll let me do it again. He thinks it makes his head look small.

Loving the pics. Their eyes are amazing in the second one of Mimi and Ivan. Big Buddy looks pretty hip with his braids. Thanks for the update. So glad that being sick is done and over with. Love you guys.
Looks like Dominique is ready to celebrate her win.
Love you all. Grandma R.
I just saw Imogen on the way home so I thought I would check to see if there were new pictures of Ivan and Dominique and sure enough, you had them up. Thanks.
A Teddy Bear should be easy after the spider party last year. Is Saba going to have a starring role in Dominique's party this year? Love you. Nana
