Caitlyn is just full of surprises lately. She goes full days without socks on but has to have them on at night. And then the other day she actually requested her swimming suit so she could get in the pool. Of course she loved it once she was in, we've been trying to tell her that she would but she obviously didn't believe us. She thought it was great to imitate William in the pool, she has been laughing at everything that he was doing and it was even funnier to do it herself.
I decided to try something today with Caitlyn's hair. I have suspected for a long time that her hair was long enough to braid but I didn't think that she would hold still long enough for me to do it. But here it is, Caitlyn's hair is definitely long enough to braid. I know it doesn't look real nice, but she wasn't holding real still and since she was in my lap I didn't have a lot of leverage to work with. She was pretty good until I got to the hair at her neck. She wasn't happy about that.
Now I don't want you to think that Caitlyn is the only entertaining child in this family. William just seems to have fewer idiosyncrasies. He really likes to pretend and imitate. We have rules about pretending when we leave the house. The main one is that he has to be William when we aren't at home. It was too confusing for people at church and other places when he would inform them that he was someone else and there were melt downs and temper tantrums involved when people didn't realize he was being someone else. But he is a lot of fun and it is amazing how fast he learns. It is nice that I can have him read me the story at bedtime.
