This week Leah got her first "real" haircut. By real I mean that someone did it who actually knew what they were doing. It went ok, not great. There was a bit of crying and a bit more of screaming. It looks pretty good considering.
Kate and Leah also took their fist bath together last week. It's just so much easier than all the time it takes to do it separately. Plus Leah thinks it's great until Kate poops in the tub. Which so far has happened every time. Arrrg.
As many of you know, Leah spends much of her day "reading". The books that she knows well (about 80% of them) she actually knows most of the words and story by memory. But the ones she does not, or new books from the library, she just makes up a story to go along with the pictures. Very cute to listen to because it usually has to do with something that has happened in her world recently. But this week Leah has started really working on sounding out words. She has known all her alphabet and the sounds the letters make for many months and is eager for the next step! So far she has made it through the first BOB book called "Mat". These are beginning reading books and this whole book has only 4 words. But still, so cute! Now when she is "reading" her books she pretends to be sounding out the words. HA!
