Markers And Marching

This week we have graduated to markers. Specifically Sharpie Micros. It was tough at first. We colored our hands and clothes more than once. We have a system down now:

1) Only one marker at a time
2) As soon as something distracts us, the marker goes away
3) Marker stays on the paper
4) Marker is not food

We have also started marching around the house. We saw a show with marching in it, and when we say "maatch" and start kicking our little feet up, Mommy and Daddy have to join in.

There are occasional 3-person parades in our house now.

We went Christmas shopping today and played at the tot-lot in the mall. Danae was very nice to the other kids. She hugged one of them (and tried to kiss him!) and even came up to a shy kid and took his water bottle away. When she gave it back the kid just ran out and played. Toddler hazing I guess.

Sorry, no movies this week for some reason. Two movies next week. Promise.
