Do we have a teenager on our hands?

The newly arrived 2's are not terrible yet, but Bridget seems at times like a teenager.. other day we are driving home and she tells Megan and I, "no looking", we then asked her about a series of people and whether or not they could look at her and she said no to all of them... big pause, then she mentioned her amigos Aidan and Ronan, twin boys her age, they merit special treatment... wherever we go in public, Bridget says "hi guys, ladies" to whomever she meets, fascinating to watch her, so curious and outgoing, we will have our hands full for years to come...

Great Weekend!

Just finishing a great weekend. We had Monday off for the MLK holiday and a snow day today (third of the year so far)... Saturday, we did our typical Gym and Swim class at the Y. Bridget had fun at the gym part, running around, anxious for circle time right away, she is getting more comfortable climbing, jumping, etc. Circle time mesmerized her with Dawney Dew's songs and animals and she loved getting a ride on the parachute and running under it... Meg took her swimming where she did really well, doing some actual swimming and jumping in, helped by the fact that a grandfather was encouraging her...while Megan worked out, we headed out for our usual walk to the library. We looked in on the firehouse for our typical view. This time however, we saw a fireman washing his car inside the station - Bridget was fascinated with the hose and got invited inside. The guy was very nice and let Bridget sit inside one engine, turned on the lights, gave her a firehat, then watched as another engine backed in..she likes all things firefighting so much, I think she was overwhelmed... that afternoon, with no nap happening, I took her to Stepping Stones children's museum in Norwalk, assuming she would fall asleep en route (she did). The museum has some nice features, though it is crazy busy with tikes. The highlight was the water area where she put on a smock and played with some beakers and containers, pouring them out, she couldn't get enough, had to drag her out...the next day we hit the aquarium in Norwalk as well... nice facility, lots to see, we got there as they opened which was a smart move. Bridget loved the seals swimming just in front of her, seeing lots of turtles, sharks didn't impress her as much....
