Jessica

Jessica has made some steps in development lately. The ones that come to mind first are:





1. She now knows to cover her mouth when she coughs(yeah!).


2. She can point out where her elbow is.


3. She says please about 100 times a day when asking for something(which means she is asking for something about 100 times a day).


4. She folds her arms when we say a prayer(unless she realizes it is bedtime prayer, then refer to #7)


5. She can get her sleeper pajamas off all by herself.


6. She manages to drink from a cup just fine(and pour it all over herself and the table/floor/toys nearby when she wants to).


7. She has mastered the art of fit throwing when something isn't working the way she would like it to(stiffening of body, piercing screams, throwing of herself on the floor, you get the idea).


8. She has developed the skill of teasing her sister with toys, books, movies, snack, etc, etc, etc(this including hiding or throwing away Cailyn's favorite toy).


9. She has fallen in love with books(or should I say book--we read the same one over and over and over and over and over and over)


10. She has learned how to tell us when she is done with her meal(by throwing the remaining food and liquid on the floor or across the table at us).


11. She loves to climb on things and then climb off them and climb back on and back off and back on and back off(that is unless she can't do it herself, then she expects me to get her up and down and up and down and up and down)





BUT, most of all she has us wrapped around her little finger. Don't get me wrong she gets her occasional spanking, but most of all we just pick her up and tickle her until she can't handle it and bursts into laughter(which at that point includes all of us). She really is a joy to have around even with all of her little(or HUGE)quirks.

We love you Jessica!
