While we were making Alex’s footprints, we thought we would compare Brooke’s next to his (of course we had to use Brooke’s favorite color for hers, orange). Brooke was so excited that she kept lifting up her foot and saying “Brooke’s turn!” It turned out pretty neat.
Today is Brooke’s first day of preschool this year. She is in the 2-year-old class now. This year she got to pick out her own lunchbox and backpack (if you can’t tell, she loves airplanes). She was so excited about school last night, that it took her over an hour to fall asleep. We could hear her talking and singing to herself while she lay in bed.
Yesterday it rained all day, so we stayed in for the morning. After Brooke’s nap though we all went outside and splashed around in the rain and puddles. Even Alex came outside with Laura (although they did stay in the cover of the garage). I don’t know if you can tell, but Brooke is really happy to be outside in the rain.

Brooke loves to play a new game recently. She brings you her zebra to hide, then she goes and hides behind some curtains, or will find a pillow to hide her face, while you hide the zebra. You have to be careful though, she loves to cheat and watch where you put the zebra. She’ll even try to reassure you that she’s not cheating by saying “No peak”. Once the zebra is hidden she comes out and looks for him and usually screams with joy when she finds him. In the video below she is saying “Zebra” attempting to cup her hands around her mouth as if calling out for him.

Alex is still working on establishing a nursing routine. So some days he gets up before Brooke and some days at the same time. Today he got up early and I was able to have him ‘dressed and ready’ when we woke up Brooke for the day. One of Brooke’s favorite things is to lay face to face with Alex. So when we woke her up she asked ‘Baby lay down?’. Here are some pictures of her talking to and kissing Alex. All was well until Alex spit up on her bed sheet ‘Ut oh Baby!’.
