We are two years old!

We had good time during our second birthday party party!  It was great to see all the familiar faces. We had fun eating colorful cupcakes and playing with the balloons. We received bunch of great gifts and parents gave us plastic playhouse. But the biggest hit was... the cardboard box from the house :-)

Here is a little bit about us at our second birthday:
Lili-  Is a little bit shy but with smiley eyes, still likes to play with ones fingernails,  Loves running and jumping on a trampoline. She is very good at it!  She likes to sing (Moon, moon song), likes to read. Her favorite toy - red monkey, Melissa & Doug puzzle with the opening doors.

Vivi -  Miss temper tantrums :-) She LOVES shoes and purses. Her bff's - bunny and blankie. Like her sister, she loves books and to be red to. She is a little parrot that repeats every word. She is getting really good in using two or three word sentences.

Both: Favorite TV show: Oobi, favorite food: cheese pizza, kiwi, apple, cereal. They love their older sister Lucy and learning from her everyday (good and bad things). They love drawing (unfortunately also on the walls ), reading books and  playing with each other.

few more days till our birthday party

We personally delivered invitations to our neighbors 

Back to Preschool!

It is time to go back to school.  This year we will be n 2-3 room with Danielle and Aimee!  We love Danielle! We were very happy to see most of our friends from the last year.
Price laboratory school is closed so we are the only people in the building.  University is working on retrofitting pool area of the Price lab for our new place. Our current location will be demolished and place turned to the green space.
Lucy won't be going with us. Our big sister started Kindergarten!
Our cousin Elyse started college and she lives on campus.
Daddy will not be working anymore on our campus so mommy will be in charge of driving us around.

Enjoying time with grandparents!

Priceless moments with grandma and grandpa Kubiniec. It will be very hard to see them soon only via Skype.

first time at the sea

We visited Baltic Sea in the Jaroslawiec city. We went there with grandma and grandpa and we stayed in very nice hotel.  It was our first visit to the beach at the Sea (last year we went to the Michigan lake beach in Chicago). We liked it. Lili was trying to eat the sand and to try her strength by collecting biggest rocks at the beach. Vivi preferred sticks and little rocks. 

We are in Poland!

We are very happy to see babcia Ewa and dziadzia Kuba!!!!!

We had unique opportunity to be in Poznan during the Euro 2012 (Soccer European Championship).

Fast conversion to the big kids' beds

Lili started to climb out from her crib Kamikaze style! We lowered the bed to the lowest possible setting. We turned crib so the higher back was on front. Nothing helped. The little monkey somehow got out of the crib!
Desperate parents had no choice but to convert the crib to the toddler bed (April 9). Vivi is shorter so she could not jump out but she managed to get stuck between the top bar and the rest of her bed.

Interestingly girls switched the beds. Vivi is now sleeping in the corner and Lili next to the closet.
Girls are not sure what to do with the new freedom. Parents are not sure how to approach putting them to bed.
