Part two of pictures from the Please Touch Museum. Many of these pictures were from the Alice in Wonderland area. The kids really did enjoy playing in that area.

News about Julia!
We deliberately planned on not having a birthday party for Kaitlyn. She’s at a stage right now where she does not want to be the center of attention (though from the last post, I would have a hard time believing it). So instead, we took her to the Please Touch Museum in Philly. There was definitely some concern on our part whether Kaitlyn and Julia would last long enough there before having a meltdown. Thankfully, they didn’t, and we had a great time.
Julia has figured out how to draw a face on her magnetic board. She has always drawn random stuff, but yesterday was the first time she has actually started to draw faces.
Julia and Kaitlyn have a habit of taking stuff out of the cabinet next to the dishwasher and climbing in. Julia calls it her “car”, and frequently tells me or Sharon that she’s “going to the store” to get groceries like milk, waffles, or bagels.
Today, Julia was doing her thing, getting ready to go somewhere. She got in, announced she was leaving, and closed the cabinet door. Suddenly, Kaitlyn opens the door.
Julia is inside, with her hands up as if there was really a steering wheel in the cabinet, and she was actually driving. She was a bit startled by Kaitlyn opening the cabinet suddenly, so immediately went to close the door. I got a good laugh from the whole bit.
More gold from Julia…
A few days ago, I had given Julia and Kaitlyn their vitamins. They love it; Sharon or I can just say “Who wants vitamins?” and they jump up and down and run to the kitchen.
Anyway, I give them their vitamins, and remind them to say “Thank You.” Most of the time, they are good about it, but they had forgotten that night.
Julia and Kaitlyn: Thank You.
Me: You’re welcome. I want my girls to be kind.
Julia: Kind?
Me: Yes, kind is to be nice to other people.
Julia, thinking for a few seconds: I’m not kind… I’m pretty.
At that point, it struck me that we’re raising a diva…

Conversations With Julia – Part 3
Julia is on the potty, and Kaitlyn is playing in the sink with a soap container. Kaitlyn drops the container in the sink and says, “Oh no!”
Julia, Kaitlyn, and me: “Oh no!”
We go round and round a couple times, saying “Oh no!”
Then, out of nowhere, Julia says, “Mr. Bill!”
I haven’t seen those Mr. Bill commercials in several months, so either Julia has either seen it recently, or has a really good memory.
This took place last night. Julia was having a tea party, and Sharon and I were sitting at the (play) table in her kitchen (in the living room).
Julia: The A and the T and H all broke!
Me: They all broke? Oh, no!
Julia: Yeah… it was an awful scene.
At this point Sharon is laughing uncontrollably on the floor. I’m laughing. And Julia is looking at us, wondering what in the world is going on.
I came to find out later that Julia was referencing a WorldWord episode, where a hat broke.
Kaitlyn has just pulled out the plug to the computer, knocking out all the work Sharon was doing on editing some pictures…
Sharon: No, Kaitlyn! That was bad!
Kaitlyn walks away. Julia comes over to see what the commotion is. Sharon points out that Kaitlyn pulled out the plug from the wall, and that’s bad.
Julia: Oh my goodness!
Julia, to Kaitlyn: Don’t do that, K-K! That was very bad! Very, very bad! You don’t do that!
I had to turn away to laugh.
Julia went to the dentist last week for the very first time. We were surprised that she was so good. This video is Julia discussing her toothpaste and toothbursh. Quite funny, but be sure to listen closely.

I’m trying out a new program for converting the movie files, and it resulted in a pretty big file. How well did it load for you? Hit it up in the comments.
