...Silliness...

Lately Anastyn has started to really show her silly side, she is constantly singing, dancing, hiding and surprising us by jumping and yelling " Can't get me" or "RAW".

Her response to 90 % of the questions we ask her is " um, no tank yum" ( no , thank you)

She loves to sing the ABC's with Nyah but only chime's in at "N,O,P" which really upsets Nyah.

She will also count starts at 5, 8, 6, R, ...

This was the 2nd week of dance, but she absolutely LOVES it. We are so proud of her, that she gets to dance and goes right in all by herself without any troubles... miss independent!

WE LOVE YOU ANASTYN!!

...dentist check up...

Today the girls had their 6 month check up with the dentist. They both did well, Nyah was such a big girl. We were not aware that at the age of 3 they start x-rays and have her lay on the chair for her exam and polish her teeth. So we were all a little surprised but she was such a big girl. Anastyn on the other hand is a different story, anything that is not her idea can become a traumatic situation. So this visit to the dentist was no different, tears and screaming fits. The dentist even commented on how well her lungs work! But their our girls and we love them dearly and wouldn't change a thing! To make the visit even better neither of them had cavities!!!! YAY

...Challenges in life, as a Toddler...

The past few weeks, Anastyn has been struggling with her independence. She has anxiously wanted to dress herself. Which has turned into quite the comical scene as she attempts to walk around the house with both legs in one side of her pants. But as each day comes she gives it her best and is proud when she accomplishes the task!

...CaTcHiNg Up...

Well last week was very eventful, Nyah started dance on Tuesday! Which was very exciting, she loved it! Which was not a surprise to us...she is always dancing around the house, doing pirouette's. She was very excited to go, she has been asking us for the past 2 weeks if it time to go? And we would reply not for a couple more weeks, she would say "we can't be late". Oh our little Nyah.

After dance we headed to get the girl's hair cut, Nyah has had hers cut a couple of times so she was aware of the routine. She jumped up in the chair, let Heather put the cape on her and cut her hair. We were very proud of her... she is becoming so independent and growing up way to fast. We love you BUG!!

Then it was Anastyn's turn...I think the picture's say it all. It was not a happy experience for her. And the saddest part is that we were unable to save any of her hair from her 1st hair cut. Her hair is very fine and she was not cooperative, so the combination of the two = no hair to be saved.

A couple days later was Anastyn's dance class... I cannot explain how elated Justin and I were that she participated in class all by HERSELF!!! She ran, jumped, twirled and the whole time had the biggest smile on her face! When her class was over she came out and Justin and I told her that we were so proud of her, her reply "tank you". Oh Beanie, you make us smile, we love you.

...You're a Nurse??

You're a Nurse? That's cool, I wanted to do that when I was a kid. What do you make? "WHAT DO I MAKE???" I make holding your hand seem like the most important thing in the world when you're scared. I make your child breathe when they stop. I can help your father survive a heart attack. I make myself get out of bed at 5am to make sure your mother has the medication she needs to live. I work all.......day to save the lives of strangers. I make my family wait for dinner until I know your family member is taken care of. I make myself skip lunch so that I can make sure that everything I did for your husband today is charted. I make myself work weekends and holidays because people don't just get sick Monday thru Friday. Today, I might save your life. I make a difference. What do you do??

Another Wal-Mart Incident...

Justin and the girls were in the check out line...

Nyah: Dad look that lady SHRUNK!!

Justin turns around to see where she was pointing...

Little Person: Yea, its like I was put in the dryer!

At this point Justin explains to Nyah that she was a little person and it is not nice to point and talk about people.
