High heel shoes, baseball gloves and books...an update on us!

So here's an update on what is going on in all of our lives ...

Addie (first because she's the most interesting right now!)

 - she is now potty trained! (I'm sure some of you really don't care, so sorry, but it's exciting not to have to pay for diapers anymore!)

 - we enrolled her for school next fall. Yes, our daughter will be starting French preschool in September (aahhhhh!!!!).  I'll blog more about this later

- she can do a 12 piece puzzle all on her own.  Not only that, it's a puzzle that's made up of blocks, so it's really 6 puzzles in one.  We think she's a genius (although we're trying to teach her that she can't call herself a genius :)

-she loves wearing high healed shoes, even outside. I think that's the only pair of shoes she wore yesterday.

- she's speaking a little French.  The other day, she said "Ça souffit!" which means "That's enough!"  When I asked her where she learned that, she told me that Nadine (her teacher) says it.  Hmmmm..

- she's almost gotten rid of her black eye.  Not quite sure what happened, but she and her buddy Elias were playing and as she tells me "We crashed together and I cried."

- she is looking forward to Grandpa and Grandma Van Dine coming next week!  She can't wait to get her new pink baseball glove!

Wayne

-is still greatly improving in French (at least I think he is!)

-he's started to read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in French.

- he actually likes to watch movies in French now, it's kind of relaxing for him (as long as he's seen it before)

-he's wrapped around Addie's little finger.  All she has to say is "Please Daddy!" and he'll do just about anything!

-he does just about anything for his wife too, which gives him the Best Daddy and Best Husband awards!

-he is looking forward to Grandma and Grandpa Van Dine coming too.  He can't wait to get his new books that he ordered from Amazon!

Hilary

- is making progress too.  

-  I'm reading Pride and Prejudice in French.  I got it from the library, but even when I read it everyday, it's still so slow going that I'm only about a third of the way through.  I had it for a month but had to actually go buy a copy because I think it's going to take me all summer to read.

-I'm actually learning to cook.  We haven't had pizza for dinner in about a month!

-I'm trying to get into running, but getting up at 6:30 am has been really hard!

-I'm really looking forward to mom and dad coming!!

Addie thought it would be fun to take a pretend nap with Wayne and read in bed!  I think they're both pretty adorable!
