Kai thinks anything that is not working needs batteries (he'll tell you "batteries" or if it's a toy, he puts it on the counter where we replace batteries so it can be "serviced."

Sierra loves coloring and anything in the "craft box." So far she seems to favor her right hand when "writing."

He doesn't like loud noises. If a motorcycle goes by or it thunders outside, he rapidly says "No, no, no."

She is now saying one - three word sentences (although she still likes to repeat what Mom and Dad say in conversation). She has also started recognizing multiple items i.e., two cookies, one rock. She is also counting random numbers but at least several in sequence (we've heard her on the baby monitor at night..."six, seven, eight, one, two, three."

Kai and Sierra are both pretty good at sharing but like normal siblings, they fight over toys etc. Kai will inform Sierra (or us) "Kai turn" while pointing at himself when he's ready for his turn.

She wakes up extremely happy - ready to conquer another day. One of her favorite sayings when she sees you is "Hi there!"

He's still not a big fan of vegetables but we make him eat them anyway (often holding the fruit or yogurt hostage until he's finished). So far this strategy has worked for us.

Sierra could be a vegetarian - she hasn't met a vegetable she didn't like.

He is very opinionated about the movies he wants to watch and the music he wants to listen to in the car. We have a couple of movie soundtracks (.e., Tarzan). He asks for it every time we get in any car. But that's not all. He will also tell you "No, No, No" when he hits a song he doesn't want to listen to. He'll proceed to do this until you fast forward to another song that he likes. Mom and Dad are working on this so we aren't hostage to a 2-yr old.

Sierra is very loveable. She loves giving kisses to everyone and will often walk up to you and give you a kiss on the leg or random hug (she also kisses every animal she sees and can get a hold of... walking up to them and saying "kisses... nice" - she's picked up mom's accent on this word - drawing out the long I). .

If he is watching a movie, he doesn't want anyone to talk or make noise to interfere. His favorite saying is "No, no, no" often shaking a finger at you to be quiet (this phrase also comes in handy when he "helps" discipline Sierra after hearing us speak to her.

She does everything fast... she's a mover and a shaker. She runs everywhere (instead of walking) and she likes to throw everything (logical thing to do when you're finished with an item, right???)

Kai can't stand a mess. He'll insists it be cleaned up immediately.

Sierra's attention span for watching a movie is very short. Her brother can hang out for some time, but she prefers to color or read.

He is very sensitive. He will promptly report on the slightest "boo-boo" and often request medicine (he's even been known to "fake" an old injury that warranted chewable tylenol).

Sierra is a jumper in the pool. She jumps over and over and over again ... never seems to tire out. She's always on the go and we have to work with her to make sure she's resting/relaxing when on her back (she insists on kicking her legs so she's always motoring around).

Kai loves the pool. His swimming is very "text book" from his training. He is very calm and relaxed.

She never latched on to a favorite doll or blanket but she does have a favorite pair of sandals which she insists on wearing everywhere (she's even been know to have a melt down if you suggest she wear something different).
