Opposites - Updated

The word of the day is "opposites," apparently. They now have to have their high chairs facing opposite directions to eat or they just laugh at each other and don't listen to anything I say, nor do they eat. After I asked if they needed to sit opposite they ran around the rest of the morning saying "opposites." And pointed out and carried around their Opposites book.

Other opposites: After her rough start, Anna is now the potty queen - when naked she has very few accidents - she's getting there with taking her diaper off to use the potty as need be, with underwear she can't get it off in time. Kara hasn't been having accidents either, but is having a hard time figuring out how to translate her need to use the potty (which she recognizes quite well) to actually using it. I feel sad for her - Anna will get 5 or 6 stickers and she won't have any. Luckily Anna shares old stickers. :) I have been having lots of thoughts and dreams about pre-term labor, which I hope is opposite. I don't really want to meet this mister until July.

We have AR pictures and some others I need to upload, including 3D ultrasound ones of little, but I'll work on that later. Other favorite words the girls say that sound like opposites - hospital and octopus. I also need to try to get a video of their happy birthday attempts - we have settled in on "happy bartoo," and they did it in time for the big day.

They're 20 months today - happy terrible 20s! In addition to increased cuteness that comes with increased talking abilities, we've had lots more tempers lately.

Update: Here's Anna saying opposite - they've started saying "opposite bad" since they know they have to sit opposite when they're being "bad."

Most of their words, like this one, still need some translation from a skilled A and K translator, but the 3 (sometimes 4) of us know what they mean, and they are making lots of progress and picking up lots of new words, so I'm proud of them.
