Twins?

Mary says yes!  They are twins.  Well, says Mary, once Sara grows long hair and her eyes turn brown.  Besides wanting to dress alike, Mary already has plans for the bunk beds they will share.  

In keeping with her role as Helpful Older Twin, Mary made a chart called "Words and Letters Sara Knows" where she diligently keeps track of the words Sara says.  (So far she has said "a," "hi,""oh," and "Mary.")  Whenever Mary is not around, she leaves the clipboard with me so I can keep track  for her.  It is so very Mary.  (And so cute I almost can't stand it!)

Meanwhile, David has been relieved to learn that Sara is certainly NOT Mary's twin.  Mary is kind of a bossy and annoying little sister.  (Think Arthur's little sister D.W.)  David was expecting another little Mary to come home from the hospital.  He is happy to realize that Sara is neither bossy nor annoying!

Maybe Sara is in fact David's twin!  For a week or so she looked exactly like Baby David.  Every time we looked at her, Greg and I thought we were seeing Baby David in pink.  We told David, and he took to calling Sara "Mini Me."

David continues to dote on "Mini Me."  He insists on his Sara Time each evening, holding her and singing her songs.  He is also determined to teach her to talk--and, according to Mary's chart, he has had some success.
