Kirra spent the week with us for hspring break so we had double the fun and double the love! Kirra is only two months younger than Lauren so we are hoping that they will grow up as close as siblings just like we did with our cousins. We were also hoping that Kirra would speed along Lauren's speech while she was here. While Lauren did pick up some words, mainly to say "Kirrrra". It was so sweet to see whoever woke up first look for the other. Kirra slept in the crib in Lauren's room for bedtime, and would ask, "Is Lauren awake?" when she first wakes up. And Lauren would hear Kirra on the monitor, look at it and say, "Kirrra".

The girls played well together for the most part with the occasional fight for a toy. But as the week went on it was as if they had negotiated who had which toys first and which toys were to be shared. There is a high chair and a toddler chair and somehow they decided that Lauren would sit in the high chair and Kirra in the toddler chair. When Kirra is not here, Lauren usually alternates, on her own choosing, between the two chairs.

We spent many hours in the back living room with the girls pulling out every single toy and negotiating how to share. At one point I heard Kirra speaking Lauren's jibberish made up language. I asked her what she was saying and she said, "I talk like Lauren." When asked what it meant she said, "Ask Lauren." LOL!

| Finally... quiet time reading. (3 minutes) |

Many days were spent taking walks and going to the park. And what one monkey sees the other monkey will do.

Thank you Kirra for spending the week with us! Come back soon! We already miss you.
