Everyone Needs a Jessica

Jesi is our cryptic child.  Often she tries to answer questions in sign language.  Only she doesn't know sign language.  She points and gestures.  Tries to spell the answer in "air letters."  Uses varied facial expressions.  She frequently sneaks up on you (or tries to).  This morning Christi and I were exercising to a workout DVD.  I saw a blond flash out of the corner of my eye.  I turned to look and it was gone.  A moment later it appeared again.  This time I looked behind the couch.  Sure enough, there was Jessica.  Not a word came out of her mouth, she just tried to slide around into a position where I couldn't see her.

Jesi is so much fun.  We love her fun personality and her spunk, her creativity and her one-of-a-kind thought processes.  Last week I walked into our master closet and found her dressed like me.  She said, "Look.  I'm you!" and got a serious case of the giggles.  I rushed for the camera, knowing she would fight me on any pictures, but I finally prevailed:

My hat, tie, coat, belt and shoes.  Love you, sweetheart!
