It's nearing the end of October. Two years ago, Levi was just almost ready to start walking without holding onto our hands. Last year, Wendy was a little gummy bear blob that had no choice but to nap on the go, sleep on the floor if we were busy playing in the basement. Now this year, is completely different. Wendy is practically running already. She thinks she can jump if she swings her arms high enough in the air. In fact, she can get both feet about an inch off the ground if she tries hard enough.
The popular things around our house right now are baseball (Levi bounces a ball against the wall and catches it with his glove, over and over again, and Wendy is even saying "bayball"), Veggie Tales and Tarzan soundtrack music. Wendy is an absolute hoot these days. Her little face is so expressive. She shifts her little eyes around when she knows she is being sneaky. She loves to wear my necklaces and her shoes. Levi is learning how to take turns with things like choosing what music we listen to, but it's a tough sell. Chloe is very much loved by Wendy. Even when we take a walk and see another dog, Wendy will possessively go over to Chloe and start petting and hugging her, as if to say "this here is my doggie."
The days are getting lighter later and darker sooner. We have less than one week until we move back our clocks one hour and we officially begin counting down how many days are left before the days begin to get longer again. In terms of weather or seasons, this is one of my least favorites because of the shortening daylight, but I do look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmastime. Christmas this year will be so fun with the two kids at these ages. I know that Levi already holds memories of what Christmas is like, so we are beginning to truly build up his bank of good memories.
How's that for a random little update?
