almost spring




Hard to believe its been almost a month since I last posted. We've been especially busy with work, and the kids with their growing! Dadima and Dada came for a valentines day visit a few weeks ago. We celebrated Chinese New Year with a dim sum brunch (check our Arjun in his little Chinese-style vest!), and then went to Lila's favorite playspace for a Peekadoodle Valentine's Day party. We also hosted a Valentine's Day cookie decorating party at our place, where the kids had lots of fun putting sprinkles all over our dining room floor.

Arjun is really a little man now. His babbling is very different from Lila's - deeper voice but I love hearing his exuberant take on what we say! He has his favorite books too now, but his favorite game remains catch, and planes and cars. Lila officially started potty-training this week. She started using the potty last Fall but "Mama Mary", our daycare provider, tells us she'll be out of diapers by the end of the week (knock on wood). Going well so far, better than expected really. If Mary's right potty training would've been a million times less frustrating than the sleep, which is still an issue for us.

Hopefully I'll post again before April. Til then, enjoy these pics of the kids in their Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day outfits. Lila posing with Dada and "Herni Herni", her new favorite stuffed animal/backpack. Thanks Dadima!
