Communication

Eden often has a hard time interacting with Leila and talking with Leila (I figure its because she feels that since she doesn't talk back that she doesn't understand).

But lately Eden's been a doing a bit better.

After a bit of listening...I think I can see why Eden likes talking to Leila...

Eden: (Says something random)
(Leila continues to play)
Eden: "Leila. Laugh."
Leila: "HAHAHAHA!"
Eden: "Leila, you think I am SO FUNNY!"

Also I've noticed Eden telling Leila things to say all the time and Leila will just copy what Eden tells her to say. She doesn't do that for me or Tyson too much, but she'll usually always do it for Eden.

Okay, I Can Take A Hint

Whenever I give Leila a piece of paper and something to write with...I guarantee that one thing will happen.

She'll want me to draw something for her.

A family....our family.

"Mom"
"Dad"
"EeeEee." (Eden)
"Me" or "YeaYa" (Leila)
"Baby"

She ALWAYS wants me to draw a picture of our family...with another baby in it.

Okay, I get the hint.

Leila LOVES babies. And apparently she doesn't feel our family will be complete without one.

Stylin'

We were going to the park.

Eden said she had to get ready and came out wearing a crown and sunglasses. She looked at her reflection on the car and struck a pose.

Mom: "Man, you're a superstar!"
Eden: "No, I'm just a princess that's stylin'."

Well said.

Feeding Tube

We got slushies during happy hour at Sonic.

Eden was drinking through a straw, when she stopped and said,

"Mom. Its kind of like a feeding tube. Except it goes in your mouth."

Only my child would compare straws to feeding tubes.

Playing Veterinarian

I couldn't help but smile when I saw these two playing veterinarian together.
