What happens when you don't have a little sister (or, Isaac is a patient boy)

This one has an excellent story. A little backstory would be helpful. When i got pregnant with Liam, Issy started to insist that it was a girl baby. We found out he was boy and she got used to the idea of a baby brother. Shortly after he was born, she started telling people that i was going to have another baby and it was going to be a girl this time. She occasionally tells me she wants a little sister.

So, a couple of days ago, they were playing dress up in the room. Usually, this means just Issy dresses up. Well, they came out of the room, and Isaac was wearing this. I asked how there were doing and Issy said, "This is my sister. We are twins" Um, okay? I thought it was cute, so i took their picture. It was almost lunchtime, so i asked that they put the dress up clothes away and put their regular day clothes on. The best part? When they came out of the room, they were both in normal clothes. Except Isaac had on Issy's jeans and t-shirt. I asked him to put on the clothes he was wearing earlier. As i changed his socks he said, "Issy told me i had to wear girl undies." At which point i told him that sometimes, you shouldn't listen to Issy :D She is lucky he is so laid back, although i suspect that at some point he is going to realize that he doesn't have to do everything she says.

My little persuasive girlie. She is going to five in just a couple of weeks!

It is important to be well-versed in your Catechism study. At 1-year-old, you never knew when you will be called upon to explain your faith :D
Mmmmmm, apples.

This picture was taken shortly after they both stopped crying because Isaac flopped on the bed and slammed his head into Issy's.

Those pictures are awesome. I love seeing the picture of Issy's sister.

I am totally jealous of Liam's hair. It is so super cute and Annika wants to steal some :)

Beautiful kids!
