First, John Michael's latest "achievements":
Swinging by himself in the regular swing (okay, you have to be right next to him, but he does no to hold on with both hands ... most of the time)
Climbing up and rocking on the seesaw by himself

Climbing onto any chair/surface in the house. First, get a stool if you are not tall enough to even get a leg near the seat of the chair/desired surface for climbing. Second, fling your body onto the chair/surface and hang their like a beached whale. When you've rested, struggle for as long as required and finally get one leg onto chair/surface and then the second leg. Success! You are up in the forbidden chair/surface!!! Really, a foolproof method (unless there is a pesky grown-up that catches you in the act).

Clara:
She's my little baker/chef lately. Just this morning she flipped all of the pancakes off the griddle after making the batter with me. The other day she measured almost all of the ingredients for her birthday cake and then helped me when it came to icing the cake (pictures & post coming...)

Gracie:
In the car the other day, she made a comment about how John Michael "translated" a word into a particular sound. Then Clara asked what "translate" meant. After explaining (trying to explain), I complimented Gracie, "You have a good vocabulary."
Gracie responded, "What does vocabulary mean?"
