These are just some things I want to remember about Grace and Lyla from 2008.
Grace:
- Loves to be fancy
- Loves to wear dresses and skirts only
- Wants to please me at all times
- Thinks of others before herself, most of the time
- Worries about too many grown up things
- Loves her hair short
- Loves to watch Berenstain Bears, My Little Pony, Scooby Doo
- Every night at bedtime she says the same thing to me: "Sweet dreams, sweet, sweet, dreams. I don't know how much I love you because I love you so much and I love you."
- Loves to draw and color and create things
- Played soccer for the first time
- Loves kindergarten and thinks her teacher, Mrs. Heim, is the best teacher in the world
- Is very intuitive about the people around her
- She's a perfectionist
- She's friendly and watches out for the underdog in her classroom at school
- Loves to play with her stuffed animals and Littlest Pet Shop toys
- Loves to run "superfast"
- Learned to ride without training wheels this year at 3 1/2 years old
- Is very coordinated and has excellent balance
- Has become very attached to me this year
- Loves all things "boy"...cars, Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Lightning McQueen, pirates, racetracks, soccer, blue, etc.
- Only wants to wear jeans and tennis shoes with a t-shirt that is not pink
- I can hardly get her to wear a dress to church anymore
- Is wearing "boy" tennis shoes from Stride Rite now, at least they're not Spiderman shoes
- Has an iron will and lots of fiery spirit in her
- She's going to be our rebel for sure
- She's the reason we don't have a 3rd child (ha ha ha)
- She's super sweet
- She has beautiful blue eyes and the sweetest face ever
- Every night at bedtime she says the same thing to me...."You're my best mommy in the whole world." And then she expects me to say "And you're my best Lyla in the whole world."
- She must give a kiss and a hug when we separate at any time.
- She gives great hugs....tight around the neck and heart felt!
Notice the picture at the top represents how they are. Grace is leaning in toward the camera because I want to take her picture and she wants to please me. Lyla is rolling under the tree after being asked to sit up about 5 times and refuses to look at the camera. How can two siblings be so different? I don't know, but I do know that God blessed us with two wonderful girls and another year to spend with them.

Hey Jenny and Eric, You sure do have two precious little dolls. Wish we all lived closer so all the little ones could get to know each other better. They would have a ball. Judy
That picture really does capture their personality, doesn't it.
