him and her and her {week forty-eight}

he is totally obsessed with learning about shapes,

seems so grown up and sensible on the walk to school,

and then turns into a total crazy, live wire when he gets home in the afternoon.

she likes to remind us daily that she wants the otter Sylvanian family for Christmas,

is going to be an angel in the preschool nativity,

and is loving practising the songs and ending with a little bow.

she has been trying out the whole 'sleeping through thing',

is every inch the dancer's baby

and simply loves being rocked and jiggled.
