Last weekend's bird encounter

A play date with Norah's twinsie

About one month ago when I picked up Norah at Room 2, the teacher had a mischievous smile and asked me to wait. Then she lifted another girl high and asked me: how about this one? The girl she held was a little older than Norah but they look very similar, same hairstyle and same look. She told me that many had asked if Norah and Avery are twins. Avery calls Norah "Sisy". We all found it to be amusing.

I actually met Avery's mom once on a school night mommy social before Norah was born. Avery's brother Skyler is about Jackson's age, about 5 months older.  This weekend we had our play date in the arboretum. Jackson had so much fun playing with Skyler. We will definitely organize future dates and have the "sisters" playing together more.

Jackson's room gets an upgrade

We redecorated Jackson's room today. He got a huge world map (to cover the dozen screws left in the wall), a bed frame, a night stand and my old power meter lamp.

Jackson stories

Jackson: When I am eleven, I am going to blahblah.... (forgot what he said exactly)
Mommy: What's different between eleven years old and ten years old? Why eleven?
Jackson: Mmmm... because it's close to my last name, Leven.

In the morning, Daddy selected the shirt that says "most amazing brother ever" for him.
Jackson: I am not going to wear this shirt.
Daddy: Why?
Jackson: Because I want to kick Norah.

He actually wore the shirt today and he was a super sweet brother to Norah. He knows how to live up to his promises. :-) Before going to sleep, he told me that he wanted to wear this shirt again tomorrow.
