Top ten ways to toughen Danielle up

1. Cale-when Danielle is peacefully taking a little snooze on the couch, he will see her, smile to himself, and run and jump on her cushion. She of course flings her arms out and her eyes almost bulge right out of her head in surprise.
2. Carli-we were driving in the car. All of a sudden, I heard someone choking in the back, and I look back and see Carli's finger all the way down Danielle's throat.
3. Cale-He finds a pen, or something of that shape, and is pleased to find that it fits it in her ear/nose perfectly.
4. Carli-pats her tummy and back as hard as she can.
5. Cale-likes to see how far he can bend her fingers, arms, and legs before she cries.
6. Carli-tries to jump over Danielle, who is laying on the floor, and "accidentally" lands on her arm.
7. Cale-When Danielle is in her swing, Cale pushes it as hard as he can and scares her to death. (I always have to make sure her little seat belt and helmet are on)
8. Carli-Hugs, I mean squeezes, her until she cries
9. Cale-Presses something like a block, or a deck of cards, down on her head until she cries
10. Carli-talks really loud about 1 inch from her face, and shakes one of those instruments with all the bells on it right in her face.

Amazingly enough, they really do love her, and Danielle adores them. She smiles so big whenever she sees them, as long as they don't get too close!

Scissor Trouble

So, Cale and Carli were playing quietly in there room while I napped. I was very happy they were so good until I opened there door. They were on Cale's bed, with their scissors. Carli had about 50 holes all over her shirt. Cale had cut them while Carli was still wearing the shirt! He also cut a hole in her blanket, and she was in the process of giving her doll a haircut. Well, at least they didn't cut their own hair! I made her wear the shirt the rest of the day. We went out that evening, and everyone probably thought we were white trash!

Cale Holding Danielle

Swimming race between Cale and Carli

Cale usually wins because he's older and bigger, but sometimes he gets lazy and Carli wins. She pushes herself really hard to beat Cale.
