Michaela was telling me how hard Eliana was making it for her to read her book..."She's being loud!"  I said,"Welcome to the world of having a little sister," smiling.

Meanwhile, Eliana was standing there in between us fussing a little, trying to be heard.

I looked at her, and I have been trying to get her to use words or signs instead of fussing to communicate, and I said,"Eliana, what do you want?" 

She looked right at me and said,"Ay-la."  She looked at her sister and grinned.  I looked at Michaela and grinned,"You want Michaela?"

Michaela's response,"Well, if you want me then I guess I'm forced!"  She promptly took Eliana in her arms and plopped down on the floor.

She looks miserable, doesn't she?  So irritated by her little sister...
