Personality abounds

Life with 3 little girls is never short on personality! I keep trying to make mental notes of special moments, funny sayings, etc but I am starting to realize that I have far too much to remember!!

 Ainsley is definitely the baby of the family! I'm still amazed just by how much birth order shows through in personality. Ainsley will be quietly playing by herself with some toys then suddenly realize that she needs some attention RIGHT.NOW. Even though she is super fast crawling or even cruising along furniture/walls, she will sit in one play and scream until someone comes to her rescue. I can't help but laugh because every time it works every.single.time.

 Aubrey. Oh Aubrey just has personality pouring out of her. She has a logic like no other, is the family comedian and just generally has a spunk about her while being my cuddliest girl. Often times, it might helpful to have a piece of paper to jot down notes during a conversation with Aubrey otherwise you might get to the end so confused. This morning for example: Aubrey was telling about her dream last night- a building that got attacked by forks. She is giving me lots of details about the fork attack then suddenly its "this finger nail is long. Can you cut it?" Before we can get to cutting the finger nail she is back to wanting to stir the chocolate sauce. She keeps me on my toes and constantly laughing, even when I shouldn't laugh (like trying to discipline her after she got mad at Ella for biting her when she told Ella to bite her!)

Ella has an insatiable desire to learn. When she first started reading, she loved the idea that she could read so much that she would read at such a fast pace that her comprehension of the material wasn't very high. Now, I find myself jaw-dropping-shocked when I hear Ella explaining a concept to Aubrey and its correct. Ella definitely has the first child perfection gene- she has been known to take 3 times as long as the other kids in class to make sure her coloring is really good or writing-erasing-writing-erasing until the letters look just right. She is my tenderhearted, strong-willed mini-me!!
