New Years morning Mira and Luna were relaxing watching a bit of TV and one of Mira’s favorite songs came on. I grabbed the camera quickly and recorded her singing.

Consider this our family’s focus for 2010:

Mira is officially back in school tomorrow and is already talking about taking the bus to in the morning. It will be nice to get her back into a routine again.

It’s funny, but before Luna got here, Mira called herself Buttercup. That was her nickname and she’d always refer to herself as Buttercup. Since Luna has arrived, she’s now “Baby Kitty.” Yes, my daughter thinks that she’s a baby kitty.

Sometimes she crawls around the floor meowing and instead of wanting fruit snacks, they are now kitty treats. It’s important for you to know:

• “Baby kitty is hungry.”
• “Baby kitty is cold and needs a blanket.”
• “Baby kitty is thirsty.”
• “Baby kitty wants to watch a movie”

It’s really the biggest challenge she’s had with Luna since she’s been here. However, Mira is such a nice sister and is very gentle and supportive of Luna. I think she just needs a bit more attention.

We took Mira to her second movie (the first one was Wall-e) today, The Princess and the frog. Baby kitty wanted popcorn and duba duba (that’s soda). She made it about an hour into the movie and had had enough. Not quite ready for the big screen yet I think. We’ll try again in 6 months. Luna was fantastic though, we call her the perfect baby. She eats, sleeps and goes to the bathroom.

There was a possible smile sighting yesterday, but I thought it might just be gas. We couldn’t get a photographic confirmation, so the search for the first smile continues.

Up for this week: back to school, back to work and then Erika’s two best friends visit next weekend.

We’ve also taken a few more pictures of the girls that I’ll post in a day or two!
