just like Aaron

Lydia loves doing things like and with Aaron. They are getting better at playing together, but most times when you turn your back you hear Lydia scream bloody murder. We have learned that this is rarely due to Aaron but her getting mad. She typically will be stuck or something is hard or she wants something Aaron has. She also has a tendency to chase after Aaron screaming "miiiiine". As I write this She is climbing in and out of a drawer trying to get a book. She will scream when she has trouble. Anyways, back to the purpose of the post. Both kids love shoes. They wear them when we are just around the house. But Aaron does take them off as soon as we get home as well. Anyways, after dinner and baths they are all ready for bed in PJs and they both have to put on shoes (without socks...their new trend). Here Aaron is reading to Lydia. They were really cute looking at pictures together. Lydia's love for Aaron and all things he loves probably explains why most of her words are related to boy stuff; car, cyl (motorcycle), ain (train), ruck (truck), ball, tdoow (touchdown, we say that when Aaron falls, ball. She also calls and points these things out when she sees them. To give grandmas a little hope that she is a little girl she did say baby and pretended to rock a baby when we sat next to one on the ferry the other day. I guess this is all the result of having an older brother that she adores. But she will love playing on the pretend construction site at the museum that we are going to shortly.
