My two princesses: April 2011
Our oldest preemie, Brianna, is now 5+ and excited about starting Kindergarten and riding the school bus this Fall. She loves her preschool, but will miss a few current classmates. She tells me that she wants to be an artist and a singer. 
She loves to do crafts and help me plant flowers. At this point she only has a little trouble with her fine motor skills. Holding a pencil or crayon correctly is still hard for her and is something we will be working on a lot over the summer.
Our youngest preemie, Kalyssa, is 3 now, but still struggling with potty-training. She wants to wear the big girl underwear but has yet to actually go in the potty. Though we’ve made progress in actually sitting on it for spans of time now. For a long time she was afraid of it. She’s still small for her age, but at this point they just assume she’ll be petite. She still seems a little behind when it comes to language, but keeps making progress so we’re confident that by the time she’s ready for Kindergarten it will no longer be a problem. She loves puzzles, knows her shapes and colors pretty well and hasn’t even started preschool yet!
She’s starting to play pretend with big sister and LOVES to play dress up. Brianna doesn’t dress up as much anymore but every once in a while we host a tea party or a fashion show.
This Spring we were blessed by a family member with a trip to Disneyworld – our first vacation since the girls came along. The girls loved it! Daddy and I were able to spoil them with a princess makeover at the Bippidy Boppidy Boutique while we were there. Kalyssa is still wearing her dress almost daily LOL. The picture I’ve included is from their makeover and is a great example of how close the two have grown over the last year. I pray that we can keep that going!
Overall we are blessed to have two beautiful, and HEALTHY, little girls.
