Well, it's been quite a while since the last posting. Ayla had her 5th birthday back in September and Izzy is about to turn 3 in November. Our Ayla, who was once a cute little drooly bald headed baby, has started kindergarten as well. Thanks to Paul's dedicated home-schooling for the past 2 years, she now reads at a 1st grade level and enjoys her bi-weekly visits to the library.
Izzy is still being home-schooled and is well on her way to reading simple one-syllable sentences about Zac the rat who likes to swing bats and take naps next to fans. The necessity for diapers and bottles has been replaced by the frequent need for referees. Now that the girls are 5 and 3, their interests seem to be similar. This is the cause for many "that's mine" fights. Ayla is struggling to find individuality while Izzy is busy trying to do everything her big sister is doing. Even though they fight, they're still the best of friends. They love to sing, dance, and make each other laugh.
