Veronica and Beatrice

Veronica loves Beatrice.  She wants to help me all the time with anything from changing her clothes, to changing her diaper, to bathing her and she is always waiting for a chance to talk to her. I often find her laying on the floor or a bed next to her just talking to her, singing to her or reading her a story.

Yesterday, Beatrice was in the bouncy seat and Veronica jumped at the chance to talk to her.  Often times talking to Beatrice is simply a series of "Hi" over and over and over again.  Beatrice just loves the attention. I love how happy and excited Beatrice is.

I have another video of Veronica making up a song/story for Beatrice, but I can't get the video to upload.  I will keep trying and maybe can get it up another time.

One hurt foot and lots of love

Augustin has always loved picking up anything heavy and carrying it around.  The heavier the better for him.  So tonight, he was lifting up a 10 pound weight for exercising and the next thing I know, Matthias comes running into the kitchen yelling, "Augustin dropped the weight on his foot."

I immediately take Beatrice from my dad and ask him to look at the foot before Brad could make it in to see what the real damage was.  Thankfully he just got one toe and his left foot, but it hurt and looked terrible.  He skinned a chunk of skin off the toe and the toenail was already black and blue.  Some ice and humor seemed to help.  He refused to look at it for awhile and at one point had a towel over his face so he didn't have to see it.

Rosalia wanted to sit on the counter and have Daddy fix her foot too and then Parker stopped by and provided some comic relief.  While still looking sad, Augustin perked up and agreed to a few pictures.

Augustin is limping around and worried about wearing shoes, but overall is doing well. It could have been a lot worse.
