Sister update

They still like each other!  I still love watching them enjoy each other.  Alida moves so fast these days and is now interested in the camera - both those things make getting little video clips of the abundance of sweetness around here difficult. Here was one of my favorite moments recently:



Kali decided when she made a "chore chart" recently that "watching Alida" for 10 minutes daily should go on it. Truth be told she probably watches Alida way more than that on most days.  It's so fun to see her coaxing Alida to her bedroom for some game or lesson. Alida almost always goes willingly but doesn't normally stick around as long as Kali would like. Kali does not think that Alida is the most attentive pupil when it is time for her school lessons and is a bit disappointed that she has yet to write the letter "A" when asked. 

Here's how most pictures of them look as they tear around the place - the motion is quite evident.  Alida loves being tackled and loves Kali picking her up and swinging her around.  She doesn't enjoy it nearly as much when Kali wants to tenderly cuddle her. Those times are few and far between and are mostly reserved for her very sleepy moments, and for her mommy and daddy.  So we savor them when they come around.
