"Thanks"

Something about the way you say thanks these days Julia, just makes us smile. It's this short little burst of six letters that comes when you ask for things and we say yes. It's pretty genuine, in fact it's not that you are using manners it's that you really mean it. 

Aunt La made the comment that you two argue like two old people. The other day you were showing Jacob your new ring that we purchased on clearance during our winter clearance shopping trip. You were making sure Jacob knew it was very delicate. However, instead if saying delicate you were saying "It's very decalite, Jacob."

What I love about you these days are...

-how you are quick to share to make your brother happy. 

- how you say "whittle bit"

-how you ask dad to throw you in the laundry when you are done with a  bath

-how you demand/remind me to put lotion on because the Dr. asked you to help me (is this the same girl who would run from me?)

-how you ask me "this is my thumb?!"

-how you start talking to stranger and come up with pretty random things to talk about

-how you still mimic Jacob... As soon as he says he's done you follow even if you might be enjoying your dinner

-both of you don't like to see the other one get in trouble and will make sacrifices to keep the peace! 

- how you enjoy dancing and are doing the interlude on your own...I see dance lessons in the near future

- had your first dentist appointment and handled it like a pro!
