Scarlett and Lila

I am having such fun hanging out with my European grand daughters.  Scarlett, who is 2 going on 5, insists on doing EVERYTHING herself.  She climbs in her high chair, buckles herself in, puts on her bib, feeds herself and then cleans up and reverses the process.  She opens the juice box and fills her own cup, dresses herself head to foot after she has picked out her clothes and tells me where to sit when we go to the park.  The first time we returned home alone I was having trouble opening the door.  She waited patiently for a minute and then pointed out that I was trying the wrong dead bolt and indicated which one I should use.  She cracks me up!

Baby Lila loves to eat!  She has regained her birth weight plus some and thinks she must be hungry if she is not asleep.  She can really raise a ruccus and is not interested in a binky.  But she has rewarded her mom with some serious night time sleeping.
Scarlett loves to play at the neighborhood park and can hold her own with all ages.   She climbs to the top of the slide and sits till she is ready to move.   She likes to watch people and they make quite a fuss over her especially when she hits the streets in the red boots her Nana gave her.  She carries her own umbrella (of course) when she is out and about.
