Busy Week

I've been kind of quiet on the blog this week.

There's been a lot going on.

Aleks had his first day of school!

The girls and I have been exploring Wichita when it hasn't been too hot.

We found a great playground about 5 minutes away:

We found a place to go for breakfast:

We visited the zoo and saw this beautiful tiger:

Since it's been so hot, we've been inside a lot too.

Maia and Ruby are starting to play together more and more:

Maia discovered one of life's small joys (yes, she's wearing tap shoes):

My mom was an angel and came to babysit visit during this first week of school. We had a wonderful time and the girls were especially excited to see their grandma. In fact, Maia was so excited that she hasn't been sleeping during her nap. And Ruby has now made the transition to one nap. 

I'm actually really glad Ruby's only taking one nap now. I finally feel like I have more freedom to get out of the house. 

Maia, on the other hand... 

1. I need a break from that kid

2. She's only 2

My plan is to give her quiet time every day and if she chooses to sleep, great! If not, then she can just read books and sing in her bed.

Which prompts me to post this:

She's got about 20 books in bed with her. 

Every night she tells me she wants ALL of them in her bed.

This morning when we asked her how she slept, Maia answered "I slept so impressive."

That kid.
