Kris and Chad Visit

My twin sister Kris, her husband Chad and their darling daughter Sam were up visiting over the weekend. We tried the hard sell for them to move back to the area.

The girl's vocabulary is growing by several words a day now. Often verbally completing thoughts well enough, they can tell us all about what animals they saw at the zoo that day or inform us that they stubbed their toe after a running screaming arrival into our arms. We warned Kris and Chad to be careful with their words as anything they say can and will be used against them in a cute little girl voice. The words most ingrained from our Utah visit originated from Grady wagging his finger and commanding his dog, "No, no, no, Jelly". It was bound to happen, but now I get regular finger wagging with one of the girls telling me "No, no, no" whenever I apparently transgress an unknown boundary.

I'm unsure which of Kris and Chad's words are permanent fixtures in the synapses of the girl's brains, but observing that they already know and use words for the body's parts and functions it's all up hill from here.
