Sassiness is genetic

Did you know that? It might be a double recessive, but with Dan and I for parents, I fear our off spring never stood a chance.

Need proof?

Anja likes to put Daddy in time out. She'll grab him by the leg or arm (whatever she can reach), drag him to a spot along the wall, make him sit and tell him "No talkin', Daddy. Time out! Naughty!"

The other day, Anja and I were out having lunch with Nana. Anja was sitting next to me in the booth and kept pushing her milk towards me, obviously wanting me to hold it. Since she wasn't using "her words", I pretended that I was going to drink out of it. She gave me "the look", silently grabbed the sippy cup from me and shoved it across the table to my mom. "Nana hold Anja milk?" Obviously I am not to be trusted.

Brother or Sister?

Life has continued to fly by since I stopped writing the Focus Anja blog. We did Anja's 2 yr photos with my talented sister, Jill. I had another doctor appointment where we heard the heartbeat on the Doppler for the first time (already heard/saw it on an ultrasound twice) and learned that I have gestational diabetes again, but Kif is doing great.

Speaking of Kif, today Anja and I were outside, playing with the neighbors.

Me: "Would you like to have a baby sister, or a baby brother?"

Anja: "Hmmmm...(pause)...Nope."

Could be a rough spring.
