I showed Aria how to tie her shoes a couple months ago and this morning she insisted on wearing her laced shoes...and tying them! I asked her where she learned it and she told me I taught her :) Funny how things just click one day.
We discovered today both Aria and Emmett are thrill seekers. Since Aria is a little taller she was able to ride a few coasters and LOVED it! Emmett was loving all the kiddie rides too. We had a fun day.
Aria lost another tooth! She currently has 3 gaping holes in the front of her mouth.
Kevin has been building his large scale star wars millennium falcon (it's a ship for those like me that don't know what that is) and the kids are loving playing with the bricks! Emmett designed his own plane by himself. Aria made her own ship too! Too bad they get upset when Kevin needs the pieces.
The kids started swim class two months ago. Aria has had some swim lessons before, but this was Emmett's first time. Both are doing great! Emmett finally put his head in the water today so his ears got wet. Aria can now float unassisted and can take a couple strokes on her own. She has no problem with water in her eyes or putting her face in...which used to be a hang up for her. Aria leveled up today in her class and got to pick out a toy! The kids also get a quarter after every class to pick a treat from a dispenser. I'm so glad they are enjoying swimming!
For Emmett's and my birthday we headed to NYC for a family vacation. We arrived on a Thursday by train and explored the Empire State building. We stayed in a hotel and then got on the Disney cruise in the morning. Two nights on the ship went quick with all the activities that kept us busy. Sunday we got back to port, spent the day at the Natural History museum and then headed home on the train in the evening. The kids did great and we all enjoyed ourselves!
