Lucy counting

The past few days, Lucy has been reciting 1 to 10. Amelia took it upon herself to teach her! She kept saying it slowly for Lucy to copy and one dinner, Lucy just counted to 10! She was very impressed with herself...and our reaction and, for once, it was easy to get her to do something for the camera! Amelia decided to be part of it too...and randomly hits the camera as it was supposedly funny! It was quite random and funny actually!

Lucy-ism of the Day (I can alternate them now as Lucy says so much!)

'No Meme . Wait me finish.' Said sternly to her sister when Amelia wantred pudding before Lucy had finished her dinner!!

Lucys Birthday

Lucy was 2 at the weekend, though it has been a very extended birthday! She has had quite a few parties. To say she has been excited is a huge understatement ... she has been fully aware that its her birthday, that she is having parties, that she is now 2 and that the presents are for her!!
The day before her birthday we had the family over and both girls were spoilt rotten with lots of pressies... Lucy sang herself to sleep at her naptime, singing 'Happy Birthday ... Meee!!'
On her actual birthday we went up to the paint & party and let them each 'build bear'. Amelia chose a rabbit and a fairy outfit, and Lucy got a dog, with dungarees, fluffy duck slippers and a raincoat and hat! Amelia already wants more outfits for her rabbit and even asked to count the money in her money box to pay for it!! She got a little toy fox and dragon, from Amelia & Duncan and it seems to have cured all fear of foxes and dragons! Cant believe it was so simple, he dinner ritual of asking where they are is now gone!

I cant believe that she is two now..and to top it off she is now out of night nappies too.Its ridiculous for such a young girl...but i am so proud.

Promises

Amelia upon being told that she was not going to read a bedtime story as she had been so naughty in the bath.
'Im so sorry! Please forgive me! I promise I'll be good! I'll tidy my bedroom! I'll tidy the lounge...on my own.I'll be nice to Lucy...Forever'
and of course this outburst cracked us up and the little rat got her bedtime story!
