Some things fall between the cracks here at our house — like this post, which has been lost for two years. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There was a time when I was keeping a list of little tidbits of the girls’ habits. I just discovered this half-written post dating from “August”:\/news\/2009\/08\/ to “September 2009”:\/news\/2009\/09\/, including lots of things I’d forgotten about.<\/p>\n

(Wouldn’t it be fun if I did that again? Wouldn’t it be fun to have “naptime” again so I could get back into my blogging groove? Must find a new way! Interestingly, I was “already complaining about this”:\/news\/2009\/tidbits-from-june-2009\/ even back then!)<\/p>\n

So here’s a little snapshot of Lucy and Rosie, ages three and one, back in the late summer of 2009. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

h2. Things Rosie does<\/p>\n

* Rosie says “up” and “down.”
\n* Rosie learned to climb up and down the highchair independently. This means we need to sell the highchair now. (Note from 2011: We did sell our highchair in September 2009.)
\n* We’ve been “fish-sitting” for a friend, and you wouldn’t believe all the stuff Rosie keeps trying to put into the fishbowl.
\n* Rosie gives lots of kisses. (Note from 2011: I’m glad to say that continues to be the case!)
\n* Rosie says “more” (moy) and “no” (nay).
\n* Rosie likes to pretend to be a monkey. (“Ooo oo oo ah ah ah!”)<\/p>\n

h2. Things Lucy does<\/p>\n

* Lucy falls out of bed.
\n* Lucy wears a “booster seat backpack.” (This involves sitting in her booster seat on the floor, getting strapped in, and walking around with the seat attached to her bottom.)
\n* Lucy now can accurately pronounce the words “hospital” and “Popocatepetl.” She also has been singing the Winnie the Pooh song correctly, saying “Winnie the Pooh” instead of “Winnie a Pooh”.
\n* Lucy talks about the “lifegardens” at the beach who blow their whistles.
\n* Lucy likes to have a big bowl of porridge (this what she imagines while she eats cold cereal in the morning).
\n* Lucy calls the space between the car seats “the law”:\/news\/2011\/the-law\/.
\n* At the “lake house”:\/news\/2009\/lake-house-2009\/, Lucy falls into the toilet. It was bound to happen sometime!
\n* Lucy is a “baby piglet”:\/news\/2010\/piglet\/, and she asks me to make her some slops to eat.
\n* Lucy is growing a baby puppy in her belly, and she is going to give birth to it and rock it to sleep.<\/p>\n

h2. Things the girls do together<\/p>\n

p{color:gray}. Photo: September 19, 2009<\/p>\n

* The girls keep putting things in their shirts, since I’m always putting my phone in my bra. (Note from 2011: I’m glad to say I have given up this habit.)
\n* Lucy and Rosie helped unwrap Hershey’s kisses for cookies, both girls helping for the first time. (There was also a lot of eating.)
\n* The girls learn that a crow says, “Caw! Caw!”<\/p>\n

You could also read the complete archives from Boyds’ Nest News for “August”:\/news\/2009\/08\/ and “September”:\/news\/2009\/09\/ of 2009.<\/p>\n

Well, that’s our little time capsule from two years ago. What were _you_ doing in August and September of 2009?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
