the girls and i made it back to church today! i have not been since elise was born... i had to build up the courage to take them both in by myself. we did it! shelby walked into her class like an old pro. it was easy because she is so used to going to the toddler room at the Y every day. i hung out for awhile because i didn't know the women working with the kids. i just feel better if i can get to know them a bit. elise did well for awhile, but they had to put up her number at the end of service. i had forgotten her t-shirt AND her pretzels. whatever. i figure that as long as i remember the kids, everything else is gravy.
shelby is little miss independent these days. she's become pretty good at putting on her sandals by herself, although she did go to church today with them on the wrong feet. today she's been insistent on dressing herself as well. she also handled the potty all by herself while she was with stephon today, too! she went from two to grown in a matter of a week!
elise hung out with me while i worked on my scrapbook at terry's. she seems to be like shelby in that she doesn't want to sleep anywhere else but in her own crib. shelby eventually grew out of it. somehow i got work done in spite of having a cranky infant with me! she totally missed her long nap... and her short one that would have occurred during church hours. so she fell asleep for the night at 8:00 tonight. we'll see how that turns out. she's so much more social now. that seemed to happen at about the same time that she started sitting up real well, it seems. i'd say that she has gotten pretty stable while sitting in the last couple of days. she's been very chatty since the day i wrote about our first conversation.
