Tassia has been 2 for about 2 weeks now. I've been wanting to write a bit about what she's like, but unfortunately, what with all of our illnesses, I haven't been able to. So, now that we're mostly feeling better, here goes:
Tassia was very excited about her birthday cake. In fact, at every meal once the cake was made, she would swivel her little head around and ask, "Tata cake où?" and once it was located, "Tata cake, please?" to which she inevitably got a yes reply, which is how we ended up eating cake for breakfast... She's so funny when she runs. She seems like she leans really far one way then the other, with her arms slightly out from her sides and, as often as not, her mouth open and her tongue hanging out. She often answers her sisters propositions with a cheery "D'accord, Nina!" and recently she insists on telling everyone Sybille's middle name. She's dubbed her "Petite Paolina."
She and Franklin are still inseparable. Recently, she's started calling him "Baby Kain-kin," holding him like a baby, and this afternoon she even pulled up her shirt to nurse him "comme petite." She now says that she loves things, only she says something like "nam", so we're not sure if it's "love" or "aime", but the sentiment is definitely there. She loves to find the picture of the fall of Jericho in their story Bible. When she gets to that page, she says, "Keep walking. Keep walking, but they won't fall down!" (Someday, we'll actually show her the VeggieTales video!) She likes to participate in church. She's mastered the "Amen, Amen" response, although she's never actually used it the right time, much to everyone's amusement.
She often takes her cues from Alina, and wants to do everything her big sister does, like walk on top of walls, climb ladders and slide down slides. Hopefully, this won't ever get her into trouble. But, she sometimes will say, "Tata bébé", crawl in my arms, and want me to hold her like a baby. So, she's in between big girl and baby, and we're all loving every minute of it.
