Doin what we can

With the frustrating early cold, we've been doing what we can to stay sane.  Getting out when possible, and taking advantage of the Children's Museum and Como Zoo have helped us run around.  Otherwise we've taken to [literally] crashing around the house.  

Both girls are still good for a laugh.  While coloring pictures the other day, Nina told Kara, "You can just knock and I'll talk to you. I'm working in my local color shop."  Vivian is as opinionated as ever and shouts little demands like, "Hey, I like that song!" when Ben changes the radio station off Taylor Swift, and "Nina, get me my white hat."  She also shouted back and pointed at Kara, "No, you settle down!" which was funny, but not funny.




Vivian continues her sugar and spice routine at Barb's and is very sweet to the babies but somewhat of a bully to her fellow two-year-olds.  When Nina senses frustration or sadness in Dylan or Ivan, she rushes to get them a toy or blanket.  When Vivian senses frustration or sadness in Dylan or Ivan, she exploits their weakness, takes their toys, or says something to set them off.  Her current favorite being patting Dylan on the head and asking, "What's wrong, little buddy?" when she knows he hates it.  

On the flip side, they are sweet to one another.  When Vivian was at the doctor today and they were separated, both girls asked how her sister was doing.  They were happy to reunite later and told each other, "I missed you!"  Also, Vivian chatted with the nurses.  She told them about her favorite drinks, how her sleeping routine went, and even asked about their wardrobe choice with "Why they both wearing blue?"
