Speed racing down our hallway

This has become a popular post-dinner/milk and pre-bathtime activity.  Who knew that our 15 foot long hallway would become a speed racing track for 3 toddlers.  Since it helps them burn off energy before their bedtime routine, we really don't mind.

Music Together

The girls have completed their music series.  This is probably the last class I will be taking them to until after baby boy is born.  There has been a huge difference in their comfort level and participation since week 1.  The first few weeks, they observed alot and wanted to just sit in my lap.  Half way through the series, I think they became more comfortable and started to interact with the the other kids in the class.  They also participated more by swaying, dancing and tapping the various instruments and musical props.  We all had loads of fun.  Wish we could continue this class; we'll probably bring them to another music class next year.

Where's Obama?

Our girls love to flip through magazines; I think sometimes more so than their board books.  So we have a stack of Time, Parenting, photography magazines and various catalogs by their bookshelf.  One day, Sophia was flipping through the latest Time magazine and grandma pointed out a picture of Obama.  She told her he is our new president.  (This was all in chinese.)

The next day, Sophia picks up a different issue of Time and flips to a page with Obama's picture. She pointed to the picture and said, "O-ba-ma".  In chinese, I asked her,  "Who is Obama?"  and she replied, "he is our president".  Hannah and Alexandra also recognize Obama's picture and are able to tell us who he is.  

Let's just say, mommy and daddy were in awe.  

Here are some pictures of the girls reading.  They look so serious.  

Playing dress up in their Christmas dresses

The girls wore these red dresses for their 23 month old pictures.  I had planned to have them wear these dresses for our holiday card, but couldn't get all three to pose.  Can't expect three 23 month olds to pose together, but it's always worth a try.  They just enjoyed wearing the dresses and running around.  They are such active toddlers.  Still can't believe that they are almost 2!
