Wicked

While this is a word we are sometimes tempted to use when discussing Miranda, especially when she repeatedly comes out of her room at night, it is actually Miranda's favorite music right now.  She absolutely LOVES songs from the musical Wicked.  She will ask to watch the video of "Defining Gravity" and sing along!  I have also caught her singing the song "Popular."  Who knew almost 3-year olds could have such sophisticated taste in music?

Fall Farm Fun

 This past week we spent a lot of time at pumpkin farms.  Matilda had a field trip with her class to a pumpkin farm during the week.  I was lucky enough to tag along (I have no idea how her teacher does it, I was exhausted after 2 hours and only in charge of 5 kids!).  The class had fun going on a hay ride through a scarecrow village, playing in a straw jump yard/playground, and picking a pumpkin. 

The whole family visited a pumpkin farm over the weekend.  There were lots of fun activities, including a jump pillow, huge slide, pig train and corn maze.  The girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and so did mom and dad.

TWOoth for One

Last night. Matilda lost her first tooth.  Two minutes later, she lost her second tooth!  I was very surprised after I pulled the first, to find that the second one was just as loose (so of course I pulled that one too).  Matilda just giggled and giggled through the entire process, even though there was "bleed" in her mouth.  It's so fun to catch her staring in the mirror and checking out where her teeth used to be located.  And of course, the Tooth Fairy had to be EXTRA generous since there where 2 teeth (thankfully, although only initially prepared for one tooth, the Tooth Fairy was able to find the resources to trade for 2 teeth).
