Suddenly realized I haven't given an update on the girls in quite a while. Guess I've been preoccupied!

Margaret has started to sign a few words. She can sign "all done," which is also accompanied by a very crude verbal approximation of "all done." She also nods her head "yes" and "no," which makes it a lot easier to figure out what she wants. She's also taken to patting my chest when she wants to nurse. If she's on the ground, she rubs her face in my leg. Adorable!

Got a note last week from Mary's school, her current teacher is moving to the 1st grade next year and Mary can choose her as her teacher. It's called looping and is very favorable because it eliminates some of the adjustment period usually associated with a new teacher and new students. Mary's vote is yes, so we're going to sign her up with Mrs. Allen again.
