In other news, the girls are all-around super stars. Their speech skills are at a 21- to 24-month level, according to their speech therapist. (In fact, they're so darn chatty they no longer qualify for speech therapy services.) They love to sing and dance -- their favorite song these days is "So Long, Farewell" from The Sound of Music, thanks to that Kia commercial that's been running lately. Other than playing peek-a-boo and walking around, the girls spend their days playing with the piles and piles of toys they got for Christmas, every one of which is a cherished treasure which cannot possibly be shared with anyone, especially not one's sister. The occasional struggle over books or puzzles or stuffed animals is just another chance for us to hear those lovely soprano voices!
