Competition

The girls have begun their life of competition, which is a headache somedays, but a help others. There's nothing like the threat of someone else doing/getting it first to light a fire beneath them. With the benefits of her age Grace usually wins whatever their doing (with the exception of eating- Liliana wins that hands down). But lucky for us, Liliana is a good sport. The most frequent competition is who can get upstairs first. Grace triumphantly yells "I win!" when she reaches the top. Liliana then follows up with a good- natured, "Ah Man!," complete with an attempted snap across her body. (For those of you who don't get the pleasure of watching Dora the Explorer, 'Ah Man' is a frequent phrase of Swiper the Fox).

We are really enjoying watching Liliana's personality emerge with her vocabulary. She keeps us laughing most of the day.
