Graduating to Primary

Gosh I wish I didn't stop writing my boring monthly posts about the girls!  Lol.  There is so much about them that I don't want to forget!  Like how Talanoa tells on anyone who says naughty words and how she almost always tells the truth even when she did something bad.  If it's not the blunt truth it's a blunt lie.  LOL!  I will miss how they both wake up in the morning saying "Goooood mooooorning mommy!" or how Elina's favorite line as of late is "Be happy!" with the poutiest face.  I love that they know their whole name and who they are named after.  They even know that my name is Lavinia and daddy's name is Viliami.  What the?  Hahaha!  I will probably even miss the naughty things they do and how they whine and complain 90% of everyday and how frustrating it is!  Seriously, only a mom can say something that crazy!  Lol!  I know I've been on too long of a break from my blog but this is a memory I never want to forget!

For a little while now I've been explaining to the girls that Elina will be moving to primary (class...according to them) while Talanoa will be staying in nursery.  They've been attached at the hip since birth and this was a huge change for them so I was trying to prepare them.  I knew it was weighing especially heaving on Talanoa when one morning she woke up and the first thing she said to me was, "Mommy, is Elina going to the big girl class?  Can I go too?"  So sad!

Well, last week was Elina's little intro to primary and she loved it.  She ran out of nursery like she didn't even know who I was.  Lol!  Before Elina left nursery she promised Talanoa that she would be back to pick her up.  How precious is that?!  Anyway, after she left Talanoa was having a little meltdown so we decided to sneak into primary so that she could see Elina was fine.  Elina was at the front of the room getting introduced with a few others to the entire primary.  She was so quiet and reserved I almost didn't recognize her.  The cutest moment is when Elina saw Vili amongst the crowd (we teach the 10 & 11 year olds) and started waving with the hugest smile on her face.  I almost cried!  Lol.  Nope, not pregnant and definitely was not expecting to be that emotional.

Here is a video of when they were singing to Elina.  So glad Vili recorded this!
