She likes to come over and get hugs periodically while she's playing. She also will parrot just about anything we say. Tessa's fun too - she has an incredible imagination! We've brought a "pet pig" with us to Walmart, and recently we've had a "pet dog" that Tessa "takes" with her everywhere. She'll make up songs and stories pretty much daily. You'll enjoy getting to see them soon. There's hope for Selah, btw. She quiets down significantly when not in the house, and even in the house the last day or two she's been a lot quieter most of the time. Yes, Selah is being unbearably cute lately.

One thing I remember doing with one of you kids (don't recall which one - or perhaps it was all of you :-)) was telling you (quietly, so the child must be quiet to hear!) that I can't hear you when you're too loud, and if you want my attention you must talk quietly. Over time it works - but again, consistency is key. Enjoy this stage - even with all the screaming it's a fun age :-) Love, Mom Well I don’t know if it will happen overnight, but I do extend hope that Selah will gradually learn to tone things down.
