the way my little girls sat at the piano last night, each opening their storybooks and setting them on the stand. Then they used one hand to conduct the music while the other hands played on the keys and they each sang their own songs.
when sitting in a quiet moment at a funeral while the speaker shared a tender story, Ladybug heard the rustling of the bag of M&Ms and shrieked (at full volume), "CANDY!"
the way my little girls spent the better part of an hour circling up a ramp, and over to the two steps from which they would sing "jump a candlesticks!" and jump down before racing off to go up the ramp again.
shopping with my girls. Ladybug likes to pick up things off of the racks and move them to a different rack, one by one. Butterfly likes to pick out clothes for the new baby.
the way Butterfly becomes instant best friends with any other kid at the park. and how she discovered rolling down the hill.
that the best way to buy ten minutes of peace and quiet is to let the girls use my phone to watch home movies of themselves.
watching Butterfly "chomp" on ribs, smear bbq sauce from ear to ear and proclaim it "tasty good!"
the way Butterfly tucks herself into my bed for a nap. with the white comforter pulled up over her shoulder and her beautiful curls spilling across a white pillow, she looks like an angel.
that Butterfly came upstairs in the morning and was genuinely upset that she missed the bus to take her to school. (she has never attended school, nor rode a bus)
that Ladybug has been refusing to wear pants for almost a month now. no matter how cute or even if I let her pick them out, she will take the pants/shorts/skirt off and hide it so she can run around with bare legs for the rest of the day.
Ladybug threw a tantrum and while laying on her belly, managed to start sliding herself backwards across the hardwood floor. this made her giggle and turn into an awkward walrus as she flopped and slid on the floor.
the way the girls took turns blowing bubbles on each other's bellies last night and laughing hysterically at the noise it made.
Ladybug's ever increasing vocabulary including phrases of unknown origin, "hey, check it out!", "hey what's up?" or chastising her big sister for jumping on the bed.
racing to get daddy kisses when he comes home from work.
