Seeing Seeing Double Double!!

What do you get when you put nearly 36 months of active life force together in one area???...that’s right, four pigtails and a lot of trouble…haha! Actually, four pigtails is the accurate statement, but Sydney and Reina were anything but trouble.  In fact, on most occasions they were just cute.

Reina, along with her parents Chris and Jillian, made the long trek from Okinawa, Japan, to spend a little bit of time in Washington before continuing on to England. This gave Sydney a chance to have a great time playing with Reina, marking only their second get-together (see pictures at bottom of post of their first meeting).  They seemed to have a lot of the same interests, probably because they were born just weeks apart.

It became clear pretty quickly that Reina, much like Sydney, enjoyed the mystery and excitement of the rocking chair. On any given day Sydney usually squishes into the chair when I sit in it, and then quickly motions for the chair to start moving. But, with two little ones, I have been successfully relegated to Sydney’s little chair while the two of them have their own fun.  Chris has had better luck, lately, being able to manage possession of the chair than I have.

During their stay, I think Sydney may have picked up some words and mannerisms from Reina…I just hope Reina won’t take home any ‘bad habits’ from Sydney lol :)

It was great to be able to spend time with Chris and Jillian, who we don’t get to see enough.  We hope they had a great stay, and that their travels back over the blue are fun and enjoyable!

Stay tuned next week for all of the new words Sydney is saying.  Some are normal, and some seem completely random.  Have a great weekend everyone!!!
