Brooklyn is quite the chatterbox lately. She is learning a lot of new words and practices during every waking hour. She speaks with such expression that it's a shame we can't understand most of what she says. Yesterday, as Brooklyn was chattering away to herself as she drew on her legs with a ball point pen, Sean exclaimed, "Hey, how did Brooklyn learn how to speak Spanish?" Kids are just cute--especially little Mergenthalers. Their smiles and hugs brighten my days, but I especially love how they can make me laugh. Each one of them has a pretty good sense of humor, and the little ones are funny without even trying.
