I don’t know what compelled Chloe to break out in song during our car ride to the grocery store but I’m sure glad I caught it on video! A little off-key, but A for effort and conviction!

“Sing Sweet Nightengale” from Cinderella:

“Do Re Mi” from Sound of Music:

We started the Year of the Rooster with a very early morning. The kids were not even awake when we turned the lights on and woke them up, as you can tell by poor Chloe’s hair!

And then from there, the morning was a blur visiting multiple houses and the kids were very well behaved and great sports in their cute outfits!

Selfies with Grandpa!

And Chloe suddenly decided her dress had a candy pocket stash as you can see from this funny film.

Home for a long nap (Mommy and Daddy also took one with the kids) and then off to the last house and dinner! It was a great day! Thanks to everyone for sharing pictures! We love our crazy big family!

This video is courtesy of Grandpa who went to check on Sebastien during his nap only to find him covered in lotion. How much of it did he eat – no one will ever know. Luckily it was only lotion and not some other form of topical ointment. Funny but not really funny. Sigh. These kids.

Cooking lesson #1 with Chloe. I don’t know how I’m going to do this with the two of them since I know if I put Chloe up on a stool that Sebastien will come running to join us. So I took advantage of the fact that Sebastien was still asleep to prop Chloe up with me to cook her lunch.

A sunny but still very chilly day (notice the gloves on the kids) and we managed to spend a little time scooting in the schoolyard. I think Sebastien is getting the hang of it!

Chloe’s rendition of “A dream is a wish your heart makes” from Cinderella. Yes, I can’t understand her either but you get the gist of the song. She’s trying. Come on, she’s not even 3 yet.

So on the weekends, I generally wear this black elastic hairband to keep my hair from falling into my face while I’m doing housework or cooking. So last Saturday morning, I call Chloe to come to the kitchen and drink her milk and I bust out laughing because somehow she’s found a white elastic from one of her Christmas gifts and has put it on her head to copy me. I quickly snapped a few pictures of her because I thought it was funny. She looks good in a headband, maybe I’ll buy her a few more.

And remember that wooden numbers puzzle I bought for Sebastien for Christmas? This little one is scary quick – it took him only a week to master it – check it out. And yes, you saw that look with the eyebrow, right? As if to say “Ma, come on, I got this”.

Here’s the full video version on fast forward (so I could post it on the blog) – Sebastien truly just amazes me with his perception skills!
