Though if you ask her she says, &#8220;I&#8217;m four!&#8221; I am continually amazed at how much our children change in such a short amount of time. Currently, she is into Elmo, Backyardigans, Mickey Mouse, Curious George and pretty much anything else big sister likes. She is talking very well and at least I can understand most of her comments. Though there are always moments where we all look at each other wondering if anyone else understood her. She asks about the hummingbirds and gold finches that come to the feeders, the ladybugs that we have caught, and the flies that get in the house. She will walk around with the fly swatter saying, &#8220;Where bug go?&#8221; She knows her colors and can count up to five, then can get number 10. She tries to sing songs like &#8220;Itsy Bitsy Spider&#8221;, &#8220;Twinkle Twinkle&#8221; and &#8220;If you are Happy and you know it&#8221;. She sleeps in her twin bed just like Alyssa and they do pretty good at bedtime. She is usually the one keeping them both awake with all her questions. &#8220;Sissie? Sissie? (Alyssa has been instructed not to answer) Where&#8217;d mommy go? Sissie? Where lumpy? (stuffed animal) Sissie? More music? &#8221; We are enjoying every moment of these two\u00a0 girls and can&#8217;t wait to see the love that Audrey brings too.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.whaleylife.com\/photos\/d\/3649-1\/IMG_5103.JPG?resize=400%2C266\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.whaleylife.com\/photos\/d\/3663-1\/IMG_5138.JPG?resize=400%2C266\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.whaleylife.com\/photos\/d\/3669-1\/IMG_5187.JPG?resize=266%2C400\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.whaleylife.com\/photos\/d\/3675-1\/IMG_5208.JPG?resize=400%2C266\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We celebrated Megan&#8217;s birthday last night with friends, and had a great evening.
