All right, we're not even going to try to justify the 10-month delay in updating this page. All we can say is that these days, we'd far rather be spending time with our kids than sitting around writing about them. Amelia is now a startlingly articulate, relentlessly funny and imaginative preschooler, with whom it's simply a delight to hang out. She's a fabulous big sister, who sticks up for her little brother at every opportunity, always willing to share with him, and as proud as we are of his accomplishments. She's taking ballet lessons, and takes every chance to paint, draw, or otherwise create. A recent hobby is sounding out words she encounters, with increasing and impressive accuracy. She's unfailingly polite, and otherwise the model of good behavior. As a direct result of that, we took her to Disneyland in March 2005, where her behavior was exemplary - even when completely exhausted, she'd respond to every "no" with "okay." As a result, of course, we tried like crazy to minimize the need to say "no." We'll try to do another update after her birthday (including a million Disneyland pictures, give or take), but she's just so wonderful, we couldn't wait that long to update her pages.
