At long last, a blog about the Rowe munchkins has been born! Thanks to all who have prompted me to get this started. A synoposis of the girls: Julia is 3 years old, attending preschool 2 days a week and loving it, totally into Disney princesses (we get to act out the Disney movies all the time. I get to be Prince Charming and yell, "Wait! Come back! I don't even know your name!" when Cinderella runs off at midnight. Or I get to be Maleficent and say, "Touch the spindle! Touch it, I say!" when she, as Aurora, touches the spindle of a spinning wheel and falls to the ground. However, I never get to be any of the princesses), completely obsessed with Jesus, Mary and Joseph (I *still* have to read "On Christmas Morning" every night before bed, and sing "Away in a Manger with the Baby no Crying" - meaning with the second verse - as her lullabye), and incredibly into pretend play (more on that later.) She has also memorized a fair number of the books we own, including long ones like Strega Nona, and can "read" them to us straight through. She either has my freakish memory, or we have read those books to her waaaaaaay too many times.
Madeleine is just about 5 months old, and so far has been an incredibly sweet, easy baby. While her older sister was quite high-maintenance, Madeleine has been pretty mellow and adapted quite well, rather quickly, to life outside the womb. She's a great eater and good sleeper, doesn't fuss a whole lot, and seems to take everything in stride. She *definitely* does NOT have my personality! She currently seems to be teething, or else has taken the oral fixation stage to an extreme. She will go to any length to get her mouth on something... she is capable of sitting up on her own and has been for some time, yet lately when I sit her up she will slump her entire body forward until her mouth is on the ground so she can start sucking on the rug, her blanket, or whatever she happens to be sitting on.
Okay, I have blathered on long enough about the kids for one post... more to follow, complete with characters from Julia's fantasy world...
