Meet Poppy's Sister.... Isa

Ivy and Isa watching Poppy in his dance show AKA recital.

Maybe you remember meeting Poppy this summer! He was a regular at our house and still is. He seems to be better behaved than he was this summer so Ivy doesn't have to reprimand him nearly as much. Now they are primarily playmates, or on a rough day... partners in crime. But Poppy is no longer flying solo.... he has a new baby sister, Isa (born sometime in September- SHOCKER!). This made it clear to Greg and I, that Poppy most definitely mimics Ivy's life and her every day behaviors. Poppy is adjusting to his baby sister quite well. He and Ivy both seem to struggle with waking up the babies and wanting to squeeze their feet and hands a little too hard as these conversation clips show :)

Ivy: Poppy, don't you know you can't wake up Isa when she is sleeping or she might eat AGAIN!

Ivy: Okay, Poppy, I know you think she is so "shcute" but you can't squeeze her so tight.

Ivy: Isa, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.... Poppy is your big brother and he loves you sooooo much.

Again, I am interpreting this as the reasons Ivy does the things she does and hoping it is just because she loves Tula SOOOOOOO much and she thinks she is so "shcute!"
