Oh, sweet Caroline, you are truly such a sweet girl. You have the best smile and laugh. You actually have several smiles now, the full out laughing smile, the shy smile and the mischievous smile.
You are still absolutely in love with your sister. Luckily the feeling is mutual most of the time. You want to be with her all of the time. It is really challenging at nap and bed time because you want to read books and nap in her bed, not yours. Soon, Caroline you all will be sharing a room but not yet.
You still call Katherine "Yaya" and you cannot say her name. If we try to break it down and get you to repeat you will come closer but on your own it is always "Yaya". You call yourself "Nine nine" and we have all started calling you that from time to time.
I say that you are in the "Monkey See, Monkey Do" phase. You want to do anything that you see your sister doing. If she raises her hand, you raise your hand. If she starts to sing, you start to sing. Here you wanted a ballet bun because she had one. I sometimes use it to try to motivate you to do something. For example, if I want you to brush your teeth, I just ask Katherine to brush hers. Of course if she does something wrong, so do you so we are continuing to work on her example. 
Here you are choosing what to wear by the "eenie meenie, miney moe" method that I taught Katherine. It is pretty cute when you try to do it. You are finally having an opinion on what you wear and that is a battle I hate trying to fight. Most of the time I really don't care what you wear as long as it is weather appropriate. You especially enjoy choosing your own shoes and have quite an opinion on which ones you want to wear.
Your vocabulary is continuing to grow by leaps and bounds. You are getting much better at making your desires known. You speak in phrases of 2-4 words putting together thoughts like, "Yaya, Emma here" to tell Katherine that her friend had arrived. Of course with that communication, you are also getting good at communicating your frustration when things do not go your way. Can we say tantrum?! You can throw a good one. We are working on self control but I see a year of "two's" with a lot of work ahead of us.
You are starting to sing parts of songs like "Happy, to you", "Twinkle Star", and "A C D G". You also just hum and sing your own songs.
You just finished your last day of this school year. The year started off rough with a lot of separation anxiety but by the end of the year you loved it. I can't wait to see what the next year holds. 
You are still a great eater and will eat most things. You are having some issues with sleeping and we have fallen into a bad habit of letting you sleep with us when you wake up in the middle of the night. Your naps are all over the place. Some days they are barely an hour and other days they are more than 2 hours.
You are still quite the daredevil. You love to jump off the furniture, swing on the big kid swings and climb to the top of any jungle gym. On our swing set you think it is fun to swing from the railing.
Caroline, you are so fun and I can't wait to see what the next month brings us.
