Today we watched Max for a little while and I thought it would be fun to give all three kids a bath. Amelia was so excited! She kept telling me, "I'll help you Mommy!" and then she said, "I'll wash his tummy and face and I'll be SO GENTLE." She actually stayed true to her word and helped me wash Max, and thought it was so fun that she helped with Colin, too. It was awesome! Less work for me!
Also, when I got her up from her afternoon rest (calling it a nap would be incorrect, she won't sleep!) she was wearing a diaper over her clothes. I reluctantly agreed that Hello Kitty could wear one a couple of days ago, but I guess she decided it would look better on her! She's really a pro, she had it fitting perfectly!
Amelia now has several imaginary friends. She is always talking to them or narrating for them. Their names are Dorothy (like Elmo's pet fish), Jenny, Gaepa (don't ask me!), and today I heard about China. As far as I can tell, they're all girls.
Colin did something funny yesterday. Amelia stepped on something and was crying, and Colin heard her from the other room and ran to her yelling, "I'm sorry!" at the top of his lungs. He says nearly everything at the top of his lungs. It was such a funny thing. I rarely make him say he's sorry (he doesn't do much maliciously), but I guess he picked up on it during one of Amelia's many apologies to him!

Actually, you neglected to mention Amelia's one male imaginary friend: Dorothy's cousin, Kermit!
