He's rolling. Oh boy.
Kai first figured out how to roll from his belly to his back about a month ago, mainly because he hates tummy time. A couple of weeks ago he rolled from his back to his belly, but neither of us witnessed it and he hadn't done it again, despite trying every hour that he was awake and when he was supposed to be sleeping. Well, this weekend, he figured it out, and boy was he ever excited about it! He now rolls over all the time and when he gets to his belly he squeals and yells with delight. I'm worried because he's already making the correct motions for crawling too; obviously he's not moving, but a couple more months and then he'll be off. Yikes.
This is his new favourite sleeping position as well
Kira continues to be an amazing big sister, she constantly hugs and kisses Kai and loves to chat with him. Kai always focuses his attention on Kira when she is around. They are sharing their room now, it seems to be a success. Occasionally Kira will come into our room in the middle of the night, but she usually will return to her room within a few minutes without complaint.
This weekend Kira started soccer. It is just a little class that teaches you how to dribble ("drive") the ball, and other
basic skills. There are about 50 kids from 3 - 5 in this class, and I'd estimate about 5 of them are actually 3 years old. The class was a success to begin with, but I think the cold weather and her cold may have affected her somewhat. She was hesitant to participate in things that are normally her favourites, like running in circles and jumping. We'll keep going each week though and hopefully by the end of the month she'll be having more fun. It doesn't help that there is a big playground adjacent to the soccer pitch, she is constantly asking me to go play on the swings. Sigh. Here are a couple of pictures of her, hopefully she'll participate in the games soon, those would be fun pictures.
She's asking me to go play on the swings here, note the abandoned soccer ball in the background
"driving" the ball in a circle
Finally, here is an adorable video of Kira singing her version of happy birthday to me. She is holding her play-doh birthday cake that she got as a birthday gift this year.

Janine you are awesome at keeping up to date with the little ones. It is great to be able to see and hear what they are up to as we don't see them as often as we would like. On that note, we will try for another visit on Easter weekend if you are around.
xoxo
