Today Emily and I read "Angelina and the Princess".  It's not the first time we've read it, but it renewed Emily's interest in dance and ballet.  She spent much of the afternoon at grandma's house making up dance routines and putting on various shows.  And she insisted this veil be part of her costume!

What I wish I'd gotten a picture of today was Emily boldly and fearlessly jumping into the deep end of the pool for swimming lessons this morning.  But we've got two kids going at once, and it's hard to take pictures.  Instead, since I had a friend who lost her cat today, I'm putting up a picture of ours, who often gets camouflaged among the stuffed animals on the toy room floor.

Today Sophie was feeling a bit better (though still running a fever and not eating that well), so we ventured out to keep our appointment with Dr. Cheng.  Sophie was born with a blocked tear duct that hasn't cleared up yet, so he is going to perform a probe and irrigation procedure on Sophie in February.  Sophie wasn't crazy about having her eyes dilated, but she liked the trucks in the waiting room.

This was about all Sophie and I had energy for today (she's sick and not sleeping all that well).  Photo credit to Emily on this one!

Unfortunately, poor Sophie came down with a high fever today.  A trip to the pediatrician revealed a "nasty ear infection".  Now, I know I am lucky that this is only her second ever ear infection (and Emily has never had one!), but I hate to see my baby sick.  Bring on the antibiotics!

Someone got to open her new potty tonight, and went diaper free from after dinner until bedtime.  One accident and then one success story.  Here's hoping for more of the latter in the days to come!

I'm really wishing that the sun would stay up past dinnertime again.  These girls need a way to get the last of their energy out that doesn't involve climbing all over their parents!
