This week when we talked briefly with Grandma and Grandpa (in between claps of thunder) they asked what Anna’s new word was this week. As I thought about it, there is not ONE word, there are tons!! She doesn’t quite out-talk her brother Joel, but sometimes comes close. The thing she’s learned to do this week specifically is run faster and sing along with the doxology, which is SO adorable!

Come to think of it, she now sings several songs, and still likes to play the piano. She’s really social and is really big on greetings and leavetakings. HIIIIEEE! BYYEEEE! She’s also quite loud about it. We’re working on using a quieter voice. She still tends to want to direct the show – “please come now!” with kids who are older than her. And then gets frustrated when they don’t listen. She’s persistent, I’ll give her that. Such is the life of a little girly girl with 2 big brothers…

She pointed a paint brush at me this week and said, “Let’s fight!” and proceeded to try fencing. Hm.
