This week in the Atchley home 8/11 - 8/17
The Olympics have started!!! BJ and I have been up until midnight or so every night glued to the TV to watch the competitions. I don't think I can keep it up, but we also can't stand not watching. I hate to say we have even been neglecting and ignoring Sophia some because we are so into it. Sophia has enjoyed watching the gymnastic with us with exclaimations of "whoa" and "wow" to the flips and flying through the air. She jumped in the air and clapped for the female divers as well.
***Alicia Sacramone got robbed on the individual vault finals!!!!!!***
I have finished at least 2 of my projects that I started the couple weeks before. I finished cleaning and re-organizing the master bathroom and finished painting and decorating Phoebe's letters for her name board. It will be a couple months before I put the letters together with the material and board and will post pics then. Now onto finishing the master bedroom!
I went to Enrichment Night where we made a pillow, which the pattern and color happened to go wonderfully with my couches, and a tote bag, which I was unable to finish due to time. Once I finish the tote I will post a picture of it too. I have done little sewing projects in the past before, but after this week I think I want to get more serious about sewing. I went ahead and joined the sewing group in my church and can't wait to sew more items.
Sophia LOVES ketchup and will eat it over any food she is having with it. I turned around for a few minutes to do dishes and I turn around to see she has smeared ketchup all over her face!! It was as if she was giving herself a ketchup facial. I hate that I didn't get a picture of it because it was quite the sight!
If she loves ketchup, no surprise she loves tomatoes! I had about 15 grape tomatoes stored in one of her bowls on the counter. She comes to me in the living room with a line of tomato seeds down her shirt. I ask BJ if he gave her tomatoes for dinner. He has no idea what I am talking about and we discover what happened. She grabbed the bowl on her own and sat at the kitchen table and ate all those tomatoes one after the other. Needless to say we did not feed her anything else for dinner that night, her tummy looked so big!
Sophia got a cowgirl hat! She put it on right away and was so proud of herself. She got right on her bounce horse and jumped saying "I'm a cowgirl! Yeehaw!"

Sophia has started a very girly habit.....twirling her hair.
Sophia hurt her finger pretty bad this week. She stuck her finger in a hole in BJ's weight bench. I couldn't get it out so I desperately called BJ in to help. With a lot of pulling he got it out. However, the INSIDE of the hole is rough and it pulled skin off in a pattern that makes it look as though she were bit on her finger. She freaks out if she doesn't have a Dora band aid on her finger, but it also doesn't allow her skin to breath and therefore not to scab over. We have had quite the band aid battle in our house this week.
Sophia has been obsessed with Blue's Clues the last several weeks. Sophia has started to talk like Blue and will walk around the house going "bowbabow." Silly, silly girl.
Wow, a lot about Sophia this week. What can I say about Phoebe? She is small, cute, and fun to kiss on! By observing the girls and their interactions we have come to the conclusion (the small fights and stealing toys aside) that Phoebe enjoys Sophia's presence and friendship more than Sophia does right now. I know once Phoebe can talk more and have more structured play things will only get better for these sisters.
I managed to get Phoebe's hair in pigtails! She was so adorable. She surprisingly didn't seem irritated by them either. I can't wait for her hair to get longer and do even more pigtails, but there sure is something sweet about tiny, 1 inch piggies!

Phoebe has really taken to copying her big sister. Noises, gestures, things she does with her toys, etc. At times it is very sweet and endearing, and other times just darn annoying. It has really nailed into my mind what an example an older sibling is and needs to be to younger siblings. Now I just have to be sure Sophia does what is right.

Cute hair, Phoebe! Casper's working on his mullet.
ReplyDeleteBefore age 6, children learn almost everything by imitating. Still trying to teach G that she is a constant example to her brothers.
LOVE the Olympics!! spencer and I have been staying up WAY too late watching them too!! I LOVE Phoebe's pigtails. straightout is the cutest when it comes to tiny ponytails. Congratulations on finishing your pillow and making progress on Phoebe's name board. Send pictures when you get it done.
