Sitting on her dresser
When I came to get my girls up for breakfast this is what I found. My sweet little Aida climbed out of her bed and was just hanging out on her dresser eating her shoe.
Kallison was in her bed (like a good girl) cheering her on.
We rearranged the room before nap time and then that weekend we lowered them to the lowest position.

No more snuggles...
So for 17 months the girls have not slept apart. Until Now. Apparently they have decided that eating human is ok and we have entered the biting stage head on!!! Both girls are participants, and only seem to want to bite each other and sometimes us. So because they sometimes get frustrated with each other while they are in the same bed and the only way to solve those frustrations are to bite, they have now started sleeping in their own beds. They sleep fine. Then they talk to each other and do stuff and laugh. So im really the one that has a hard time with this. Im really sad actually. I think that i am going rearrange their furniture so that they can at least touch each other, just in case they miss each other.

Keep the Change Girls!!
Well this weekend we decided to do something for our girls that should be a good way to force us to put away money for the girls. At Bank of America they have a "keep the change" savings account where basically whatever change is left from your purchase will go into a savings account. So say you spend 3.50 at Starbucks, your transaction will be rounded to $4.00 and the other $.50 will go into the savings account. On a side note I dont think you can buy anything at starbucks for 3.50 anymore. This is a good way to put money away without even missing it, because it is only a little at a time, but over 18 years it will add up :). We have one for Aida and one for Kallison and if they get money for birthdays, Christmas, etc it will go right to these accounts also, pretty cool way of saving money for the girls Harvard education, or medical school, they haven't really decided yet...

What? You're missing a Tooth!!
Thats right! Aida is missing a tooth. I know what you're thinking, she's too little to lose a tooth. And you're right! She did not lose it the good ol' fashion way... NOOOOO!! She did it with style- the Cordeau way!
BY FALLING!!!
Brian and I are very talented, we have lots of great skills. However, Grace is not one of them. Brian and I are two of the most clumsy people you will ever meet, so it is no doubt that our beautiful children would inherit this unfortunate gene. We have by the Grace of God been very fortunate that we have not had any worse accidents up until now. 16 months is a long time to go with out any major problems. But our 16 mos accident free record flew right out the window yesterday.
Aida was running down the drive way yesterday morning while we were loading up to go to school. She fell (like she often does) and only shed about two tears. And was ready to go again. So she gets in the car, and i hand her her ego and we are on our way. We get to school and I notice that she has a goose egg on her forehead, and her knees are skinned up. But she is good to go. She goes to school, has a great day. I was sure to tell her teacher to watch for signs and symptoms of head injury. Her teacher is a registered nurse, so she knows exactly what to look for. So Im not concerned. I pick them up from school and she is fine. They did all kinds of fun stuff including coloring a picture. So its when Im on the floor talking to her and Low and Behold.... she is missing her front tooth!!! So I go into mommy panic mode and begin to call pediatrician and the dentist and whoever else will answer their phone. Luckily only a few people answered and had to listen to my crazy rambling about what a horrible mother i am...blah blah blah.
So we take her to the dentist and he feels around, and looks and she bites his finger and he says that she is OK. And it looks like it just got pushed back up through her gums. And that it should eventually emerge again like a normal tooth. So that was good news. Because let me tell you i was already trying to mortgage my house to afford flippers for her to wear until she was 9 and that big girl tooth came in. Rest assure, my house is not on the market, and my pretty little lady will get her tooth back as quickly as it disappeared. And her mommy is doing much better today. I dont feel like the worst mom in the world any more.
Thank you for all your emails, concerning phone calls, and prayers. They are so appreciated. God knows these little girls need lots of prayers, look at who their parents are.
Loves!!!
