Okay... here's my attempt to let everyone know what is going on with Miss A. and Miss I.

We were at the license bureau the other day and she pointed to a Texas license plate and said - "There's Texas - that's where Aunt Ann lives." I was impressed. She must have known Texas from her state puzzle. Ilse likes to steal Texas.

Ilse is learning lots of new words. Here favorites are "Adelaide", "B-Ball" (big ball - every ball is a b-ball), "Cup", "Mommy", "Daddy", "Oh Gosh" etc... She just learned "GG" and "G-Daddy" and she says them very clearly. This morning she picked out her own outfit. She wanted her butterfly skirt. "Flies - mommy!"
