Comparison, part 2
Since Trevor's first pic was black-and-white, here's an extra pic of both of us. (You can't see his cute blondish hair in black and white.)
2-year-old comparison
Here are the 2-year-old comparison photos. The first photo is Trevor two weeks after his birthday; click on the pic to see 2-week-old Lydia!
Not the influence we intended
Yesterday at the park, Julia picked up a big rock and asked, "Can I throw it by someone?" I reminded her that we don't throw rocks at anyone or by anyone because they might hit them and hurt them. Julia said, "A boy in the Bible throws a rock at a man and hits him."
My next thought was, "Oh boy. How do I explain that one? We're teaching her not to hurt people, and yet David was a hero in the Bible because he killed Goliath with a rock."
I decided I wasn't ready to delve into sticky theology, so I just repeated again that we shouldn't hurt people. I had no idea that Julia would be picking up bad habits from reading Bible stories!
Three bears
Here's a video of Julia and Trevor reading together. Julia was a little distracted by the camera; she usually does a much better "Papa Bear" voice, and she got wiggly at the end. And I hope that she's teething, because her fingers have been in her mouth all the time lately. The video is long, but I thought all Julia's grandparents would appreciate it, since they haven't seen her in a while.
