Tap, tap

Is this thing on?

Ahem.

We've had a busy couple days. Caroline made up a gymnastics class yesterday, so we had her class followed by Mikey's class and then another Caroline class this morning. Whew.

Two hours in the gym was a little tough on Evan, which is why I don't usually do that.

Caroline has been suddenly different. First she needed to talk to Tutu for a LONG time, then during Mikey's class yesterday, she was amazingly outgoing. When people started arriving for the basketball practice, she would go greet them, shake their hands, introduce herself, etc.

Oh, it actually started when Katie and Rachel's dad came in. In BDUs, with dark hair...Evan went up to him and snuggled against his leg while Caroline shook his hand and chatted. Sniff.

Anyway, Caroline hit it off with a family and played with the two girls and their parents for about 20 minutes. At first the girls were too suprised to respond, esp. because they were quite a bit older than her, but then they started having a great time. And before her class she also told one of the girls "I want you to be my new friend."

Last night, I asked her if she wanted to give her too-small leotards to Rachel. She said yes and then said "Let's pretend Rachel's here right now. Rachel, stop following me!" Really, no pause between the two sentences.

We went to Walmart after class today. I got one of those big carts that all 3 kids can ride in. Usually they walk quite a bit, but not today. Kinda wore myself out getting through the store and home again.

Evan and Caroline have grown. Caroline needs size 5 shirts and dresses now. Evan can wear a 3T shirt and it's only a tiny bit too big. The pants he has on today are showing quite a bit of ankle, too. Not that I noticed until we were out.

It's really warm today. It was 67 when we left the house this morning. Jeans were not a good decision on my part.
