growing up

They are growing.. and I feel that they have changed during these last few weeks. Rachel loves to play with her Lego cubes and likes to "pretend".
R: "mon chateau est rouge"
I: "ce n'est pas rouge c'est jaune
R: "maman, just pretend"

Natalie is now repeating what Rachel says, and they play more and more together.
R: "tu veux jouer Natalie"
--no reply
R: allez, tu veux jouer Natalie?"
and finally the two are sprinting in the living room/kitchen. Rachel runs after Natalie and they take turns.

Last evening I took them to the library. Rachel wanted a book with a mermaid. As we were looking at DVDs, Rachel asked me what I was looking for and I told her I was checking if they had the French language option.
Rachel: "Natalie not this one, c'est pas en francais". Maman veut en francais"
I: "merci ma cherie".

17 months today

That's it. Today is the day. 12 teeth, a huge smile, hair landing into your eyes, that our Natalie.
She has experienced the potty and I sit her 2 or 3 times a day. We have had some luck so far and it surprised her and made her proud.

Rachel is battling some fever today. It started yesterday when I picked her up. She had a big lunch and complained of her tummy. She was cold and very tired. We all cuddle on the sofa eating cackers. Around 7pm, she fell asleep on the sofa and at 9.30pm Yossi carried her to her bed. She ended up in our bed early this morning and we somewhat managed to sleep. Last week, the same thing happened but then she threw up in the evening. The next morning she was slightly better and by the end of that day she was fine. This morning I had to come to work and Yossi took her to the day care, she was better already but was still a little bit warm. Pauvre cherie.

stopping nursing - I don't think so

Early this week Natalie was sick. She had a few blisters in her mouth and could not nurse.
Was nursing over? Was I sad or happy I am not sure.
On the third day she felt better and asked to nurse and she did and to my surprise I still had milk. The end hasn't come yet.
This morning she woke up with a stuffy nose and I was happy to be able to nurse her and calm her down. She felt asleep in my arms nursing.
