Jessica is such a sweet little girl. She's very clever. She loves to mimic your actions (more on that in a different post). She generally likes to share. She loves to hand things to you and say "Meh!" (I have no idea what that means to her, but that's what she says.) She grins and gets bashful when you say "Merci beaucoup" after she hands you something.
She's a happy little bug. She can keep herself quite happy by marching back and forth in the room. She stomps her feet as she marches and claps her hands in time with her feet and just makes random noises while she does this.
She realized pretty quickly that Nathan was smaller than her and so she likes to "mother" him. (I know, they're only a couple of months apart and neither of them have reached the age of two, but that's what she does.) She likes to make sure he has a cup of water. She tries to "fix" his hair. (Yeah, that went over well.) Of course she takes away his toys and hits him when she's annoyed. They're siblings and toddlers so we wouldn't expect anything less.
She had "Papa" figured out pretty early in the trip. She could tell you who Papa was when you pointed to her. "Mama" was harder for her to say, so I was "Papa" most of the time as well.
If you can endure the first part of the video (I know it's not particularly fun to watch someone else's kid play with an empty container) the way she tries to say her name at the 1:35 point makes me giggle. This is what is going to get me through the time between now and our next trip. I had to go to a doctor's appointment today and I found myself saying it in my head.
All together now, "Di-Di-Da!"

Hi guys your kids are so cute. I am so glad to have met you guys and I cannot wait tell all the kids are home and we can love them every second of the day.Candice
That's darling! I've found that most kids have a hard time saying "Momma" - must be something with the M - and that it's a lot easier to start out saying "Dadda". - She is so sweet. Love those little sounds all the same.
I know you have no idea who I am, but I just wanted to comment to say....I think you have amazing strength, and I have been reading your blog ever since it looked like our daughters may never come home.
Well, they are home now (they have been here a little over a week), and they want to watch your video of Jessica, over and over. They beg to watch it with their limited English.
Thanks for helping me to be stonger, during a time that was very hard.
