Two For the Show

Arya said her name yesterday for the second time. I'm not sure if I mentioned last week that she had said it for the first time. Today, she made up for lost time. I counted 42 "Ar-Ya"s during a 3 block drive. This was after she'd been saying it for a few miles. I'm sure she got a few hundred "ar-ya"s in today.

I took the kids to a program at our health department called "Two for the Show". I debated if it was something I should do and decided we should at least give it a try. It is the cities way of checking up on as many 2 year olds as possible and making sure any who need early intervention get it. We had a lot of fun! They had stations for brushing teeth, talking, drinking from a cup, staking blocks, throwing balls and all sorts of things. The girls got tooth brushes, stickers, cups, wooden blocks, kleenex, a coloring book and a whole bag full of fun stuff. I'm so glad I brought them.

Because the health department thing was later this afternoon, I cooked dinner around lunch time. The girls helped me start a pot of chili. Eiley was particularly helpful by stirring the veggies with a doll brush before I put it on the stove.
