Amelia is a wonderful girl. There have been so many stories over so many months, few of which we have actually captured for posterity. We've always called her "determined" - I think going back as far as when she was 3 months old. But as she gets bigger, she is also tough and funny, and a little bit of a nudge like any second child should be.
Last night I was reading to Miles and Amelia before bed. They were sitting side by side on the chair while I sat on the ottoman and read upside down. Amelia started to wiggle. So Miles started to wiggle. Amelia started to touch the book, so Miles started to touch the book. So there I was with one hand on the book, one hand on Miles and one hand on Amelia.
I guess Amelia then decided she was done sitting on the chair, and launched herself off of it. I think she hit her feet before she hit her face, but if so, it was only to slow herself down a bit. Tim after hearing the thump and my pleading"AMELIA" - came to see what the fuss was about.
She picked herself up. Dusted herself off. Looked at me and said, "I did it."
Looked at Tim, "I did it, Daddy."
The looked back at me, "Owwww".
I just love that her first response is pride and the second one was pain - tough little cookie!!!
