Sweet sisters and Motor Skills

Hadley is going to be an artist, I have a feeling.  She wants to color and paint all day, every day.  I finally went and got her some water color paints at Walmart and they are already used up.  She just loves it and goes to town making pictures for Joni and Mom and Dad and Caleb and Joni and Nate and Joni (and for her awesome grandparents too---be watching for those!).
She is very into rainbows too---she colors in rainbows and also paints rainbows!  The more color the better in my opinion.
 Hadley can do nothing without her sister wanting to join in.  Joni likes to paint her face instead of the paper so it makes for a little more interesting time.  She likes it just the same.
 I have been noticing more and more how much these girls love each other.  When they aren't fighting over the same toy, they are sharing the same toy or reading or playing babies or chasing each other around the house or watching a movie together on their couch or.......  I really think they are going to be good friends.  
 While watching JoJo's Circus one morning, they were supposed to walk like an elephant and so they both walked like an elephant.   
 I came out of the kitchen and there they were.....just hugging.
Dad was reading them a story on our bed and they were both listening intently.  I then noticed how Joni was holding onto Hadley's arm......so much love!
Hadley is finally old enough for the first time since we moved to Louisville to be involved in one of the many children's programs at the Seminary.  This one is called Motor Skills and she looks forward to every Tuesday when she can go to "her class."  They do all kids of active things while still making it fun for the kids.  They have to walk in a line.....
 Follow the leader....
 Lots of running.....
 Doing sit-ups.....
 and leg-ups....
 and push-ups.
 They also play with balls and walk on really low balance beam and other fun motor skills type things.  Hope you are all well and enjoying your winter.....we have had a couple of very warm days here and it is getting me in the mood for the spring!  Love to you all!
