June 2011!

Kids are just amazing! Especially mine! Both Kaio and Josefine are such an amazing kidlets. They both have very diferent personalities and both are so much fun! Josefine has started the phase where she is demanding (want us to read a book for her, wants us to hold her hand, wants and apple.. and everything NOW). On the other hand, Kaio is started the phase where you can easily reason with him. Explain the situation, explain why we can´t or can do something etc. If he is not tired, he is very good in comprehending the situation. He continues to take the role of "big brother" really well and now that Josefine has started saying lots of words, he is constantly correcting her.
Kaio went to his first movie in the theater (that is without counting the big scream I took him to in London when he was a couple of weeks old). He went with Titio and Kazuê. They took him to McDonalds and made it a special afternoon! I was unsure how it would go, since sometimes he gets a bit afraid while wathcing cartoosn... but it was an awesome afternoon. All 3 loved it! Today, when I asked him if he wanted to go to the movies with me he said - "contigo e com o titio" (with you and titio!)
Josefine has been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis, which is the skin condition that we have been trying to deal with for several months. She now has to take daily antihistamines. It breaks my heart to see her cute little face with all kind of redness. On the other hand she has developed in an adorable toddler (oh, yeah, my baby is gone!) She has always been independent, but now she wants to eat by herself, talk and gets frustrated when we don´t understand her, has her opinion on what she wants to eat, wants to carry her own backpack to school, etc
Kaio and Josefine keep loving each other and are constantly hugging and kissing each other. As before, they sometimes dispute for a toy (and mostly Josefine wins) but I have been very careful to manage that well since she should now always think she gets everything because she is the youngest, but I think she has gotten that....
Below are some pics (it is so dificult to pic only a couple!):

Me and my beautiful and amazing kidlets!
Kids having fun and being silly together!
Both LOVE apples (and not nicely sliced and without the shell - they want their own big, full apple each!)
Miss Josefine wants to eat by herself! (and she LOVES her black beans! and yes, her hair is getting long!)

Kaio reading a book for Josefine. They are both really into books!

KAIO!

JOSEFINE!

At our new office, drawing (look at Kaio´s great design of a person - in that case it was "mamãe" and the other one he drew was "Kaio". He then explained to Josefine and daddy that they were travelling together!)

Trying out the new bar stools we purchased for the new house (and still in PJs)

Family Hall!

Josefine loves to "tackle" Kaio (and he never opposes to it).. and then they just lay there, giggling and having fun!
Kaio being silly
Enjoying the fireplace! (Josefine loves to extend her hands towards the fire and then rub them together - even when there is no fire;)
Building a tower together (which Josefine destroyed 2 secs later - which upset Kaio, but then I explained to him that he also loved to that when he was a toddler and he understood it!)
