Can you believe this one is almost 4 years old? Just a month away, Alyssa is 3 going on 9. I really don't think she realizes there's much age difference at all between herself and her big sister. She is extremely girly - LOVES dolls, princesses, and talking. She pretends to talk on the phone all the time, and I hear complete phrases of my own come out of her mouth. She definitely learns to talk on the phone from hearing me talk to Andrea on the phone! "Oh really? No way! So, my baby, she's so cute and...." blah blah blah. VERY talkative little one, once she gets over her initial shyness if you happen to be sort of a stranger. She is beginning to be VERY interested in what she's wearing, and comes downstairs in a new outfit many times a day. I'm trying to explain to her the difference between play clothes, church clothes and all that, but she doesn't get it. She thinks she should be in a dress and tights every day. She's extremely picky about shoes, too! She's sensitive (cries easily if she thinks she's disappointed you!) and pretty funny, thinking up her own words constantly and explaining to ME what they mean, as if I should already know! What an entertaining (and sometimes tiring!!!) little being! Sometimes I have to just stare at her and let it really sink in that she's ours! What a complete little blessing.
