MY PERFECT PAIR. (YOU KNOW YOU ARE JEALOUS.)
May 8, 2013
SHE LOVES PINK AND SHE WANTS YOU TO KNOW.
My little girl is growing up way too fast. She turned two years old in January and she is no longer a baby but an official toddler with so much to say and constantly on the run. It is so true when you hear people tell you to enjoy them because they grow up fast and they really do. They are growing up way too fast and there is no slowing down for sure. Watch out world, my little Matilda is ready for the world.
Matilda has been at Early Start and she started Total Communication class since she was 18months old and she has been keeping up with her sign language (so have I and Milo) and she is using it more on a regular basis which is awsum. What I love is the fact that I can use sign language with her and it is like our own little secret (and it's a bonus because I can sign to her versus raising my voice in public when I need her to behave). She had a recent visit with her audiologist and there were some fluid found in her ear and we will back to check on that again soon and hopefully that will be gone since that is her good ear.

10) Milo as Batman when I took him to walk around on the day of Halloween.
11) Milo with his Halloween crafty hat the week before Halloween.
12) Matilda sporting her mustache.
Halloween stayed and finally went bye-bye. We pretty much got excited about Halloween a month or so before the actual day and we made the mistake of asking Milo what he wanted to be for Halloween. It switched in a daily basis and when we took him shopping 3 weeks before the actual day, he decided he wanted to be Plex from YoGabbaGabba. Unfortunately the largest size they had was 3-4 years old. So, Milo picked Batman. For the next week or so, he bounced from Batman to Antman to Hawkeye and all the other superheroes. We told him that he needed to make up his mind and Captain America was his final decision. (We kept the Batman costume since Milo dresses up pretty often.) Matilda didn't really care who she was going to be and being only 20months old, we got to decide for her. We chose Foofa from YoGabbaGabba. We would put Matilda in her costume several times a week to get her used to it but she really didnt care for it that much, so, I got her a garden gnome costume since its just a dress and she would be better about wearing it.
Both kids's school had a Halloween party and we took the kids to town for the annual Halloween parade follow by trick-or-treating. We went to a pumpkin patch and did all the bouncy houses, haunted houses, pony riding and the train ride.
A week before Halloween, we practiced walking around our neighborhood with the kids when it was light out and when it was dark out. We wanted Milo to know what to expect, from getting used to walking in the dark and having decorations lighting around people's houses. I highly suggest doing this with kids, especially with VI kids because it really helps to minimize his/her's anxiety and the unknown especially the blinking/flashing decoration lights.
We ended up trick-or-treating at 7 houses! We are SO very proud of Milo and he was great about it. We were only going to go to 1 house but we did 7 instead. And he picked the house with very minimal decorations and no flashing lights of any kinds. Matilda did all of those and was very good! We came back to our place and Milo loved passing out candies to everyone and seeing all their costume.
We had a great Halloween and I am so proud of my superheroes. Milo decided to be BatmanWolverine and Matilda insisted on being Foofa on the night of Halloween. But for their school party, Milo was Captain America and Matilda was a garden gnome. Then again, it's like Halloween at our home everyday because they love to dress up.

HELLO SUMMER | GOODBYE SUMMER
Hello! Hello! Hello!
The summer came and went and somehow it's has been so busy that I seriously have not had time to blog. But I am here now. Lets do a quick recap of our summer.
We did a bunch of fun stuff locally and Milo was in school as usual and Matilda had a longer break since her baby class ended in July. We had family members visiting with us for a short time and the kids enjoy their company. Milo's eyes have been stable and it's great but at the same time, I have to think twice about it since its rare that nothing major had happened. (YEAH to that of course!)
My hubby took on our summer project of repainting all our bedrooms. I was of no help in the paint department because my job was to keep the kids away during the process. We did all the rooms in white and I am loving it. We purchased some new furniture for the kids' room. Our room used to be chocolate brown and now it's SO bright. We keep thinking that we turned on some bright lights but really, its just the white wall. It's nice because it is bright for Milo when he is playing in our room. I have to figure out all the decorations for all the rooms. It will take some time because I never seem to have time to do all the things I want!!
We ended our summer by going to a wedding of our friend and Milo had a blast because he is one dancing machine and he loved taking silly pictures in the photobooth.
I had a bunch of projects on my own and it was a challenge to illustrate what I needed but I did it. I lost some time because my back gave out on me for no reason and I was in pain for a week, then my right hand decided to swell up and it turned out to be some kind of arthritis and that took forever to heal and it still gets bad when I use my right hand too much which sucks a big one since I am right handed. (I guess my body is telling me that I am getting old!)
Here are a bunch of pictures from the summer and I am sure I have left out a bunch of stuff but I am sure you won't miss it since you don't even know what. And if I think of it, I will be sure to share at a later time.

TWO CUTE FOR WORDS.
Milo: Top: White undershirt from Marks and Spencer
Matilda: Top: both top from Naartjie Kids
Let me tell you what we've been up to lately with all the pictures that I have taken with my iPhone. There are lots of pictures, but I figure that I have been lacking in posting about the kiddies, I might as well post a bunch now.
Both kids had an ophthalmologist appointment and everything is stable for Milo. As for Matilda, this is her first official check up and everything looks healthy. We had her eyes check because Milo's ophthalmologist told us (not to scare us) that she could get the same conditions as Milo.

Right picture: Matilda: Top: Milo's old Mini Boden | Pants: Gap Kids | Hammer: Thor's mighty hammer
Left picture: Matilda: Top: Zara Kids | Pants: Gap Kids| Shoes: Salt Water
Left picture: Milo: Top: Mighty Fine tee | Shorts: Mini Boden | Shoes: Keen
Right picture: Matilda: Top: MUJI
Both kids passed out after our fun filled day spent at Piedmont with parade and hanging out with our besties on July 4th. Matilda had her first experience riding with Elmo when we shopped at Toys R Us.

Brother and sister love. Moment like this makes my heart melt and makes me wishes everyone can feel how I feel when I see the two of them together. Its the best of the best.
Matilda: Top: Milo's Mini Boden | Home Pants: Milo's | Doll: Corolle
We got Matilda her first realistic looking doll and a stroller. It's quiet hard to find one that does not look scary and Corolle makes pretty cute looking ones.
Milo: Top: MUJI | Home Pants: Gap Kids
Our house will not be the same if we don't have dress up as our everyday life. Milo was some Star Wars character, Luke Skywalker or Hans Solo. Matilda is the cutest Ironman I know, way better than Robert Downey Jr.
Milo: Top: Gap Kids
Matilda: Top: Splendid | Pants: Gap Kids | Slippers: MUJI
We've had a pretty good few weeks and Milo loves to dress up everyday and be in character. Matilda loves to steal our slippers and walk away and act surprised when we find her with our stolen slippers. I love these two munchkins and I can't imagine my life without them. I am so lucky that I get to be a stay at home mom because I would never want to miss a second of their lives, even those crappy, whiny and grumpy moments.
