JoJo, while a delightful child, has one major drawback- she thinks she's five years old.
She insists on being just like the big kids. She wants to sit on the couch and play Star Wars LEGOs.
When June was practicing her flips, she spent a few minutes rolling around on the floor. Until she decided she also needed to do her flips off the chair- just like June.
Which leads to facial injuries like this. If it's not a bruise on the cheek, it's a bump on the head or a scrape on the nose. Georgie likes to run and try to keep up, but she is not that coordinated yet. And when she falls it's generally on her face.

This is a picture from the beach last month. Check out that bruise on her nose. She fell at the pool and actually had a bloody nose. It swelled so much we were worried it was broken.
As you know, all three kids sleep in one room. Often Georgie gets tired before the big kids. But if you even think of putting her to big before the others, she pitches a terrible fit and there's no way she'll ever go to sleep. In fact, if you even take her upstairs anytime after supper, she assumes you're going to try to put her to bed and immediately starts crying.
George isn't all wiggles and whines. She says words, but you can't ever get her to repeat them on cue. For example, she says "cheese" to the camera, yells "princess" at June's dolls, and demanded "Get up!" yesterday when I went to get her after nap. And she now also gives the sweetest kisses to her babies- or founding fathers.
My sweet Georgie kissing Ben Franklin and giggling is the cutest thing EVER!! Tell Brandon he needs to have a conference in DC so you guys can come visit!!
