Twins Birthday

Today is the twins 3rd birthday. It does not seem possible that they are 3!!! I hate to see them grow up at the same time I guess we wouldn't want them to stay the same. I think Faith will read long before she starts to school. She is very intillegent. Last night she had one of my books without any pictures and was lying on the floor looking at each page as though she was reading. If only she was not such a little imp. We laugh at her antics now, but when she starts pre school she might have problems. Maybe Gail needs to have a long talk with her, because she understands and maybe she just needs Gail to tell her how to behave socially. Other kids will not let her take or give her their toys the way Grace does. When Faith woke up this morning she had on a few "extra" clothes. She had undressed put on her bathing suit and then her night clothes back on. Gail is going to need to move that chest away from her bed. Who knows what they will do once they get regular beds.

Then there is my sweet Gracie. She has to have the most beautiful smile in the world. She is the "little" Mommy to Faith and is usually patient with her. Her favorite book is one that her Mommy loved when she was little it is a Berstein Bear book "Inside Outside Upside Down" After Gail or the library lady reads a book to them Grace gets the book and "reads" the story to us. If we don't understand something that Faith says Gracie will translate it for us. I had worried about her starting pre school because she has always been scared of people that she does not see every day, but she is a lot better now and doesn't sit on her Mommy's lap all the time when other people are around. Last week I was watching them one evening and just before bed time Gracie cleaned up all the toys even wiped off the table and said "Mommy will ber proud of me". I worry a little about her need to be good and need for approval.
