Preferences

It should come as no surprise to anyone that Alyna now wants to pick which shoes she wears when we go somewhere. She also wants to feed herself most of the time, and is doing a very good job. Sometimes we have to help her get the food on the spoon/fork, but then she very carefully gets it to her mouth.

She is very much left handed. She tries things right-handed, but always goes back to the left after a couple times.

At McDonald's the other day the twins wanted to play at the air hockey table after watching the bigger kids do it. Miss Karen held Ryan up, and I held Alyna. I put her hand onto the stick (or whatever it's called) and we hit the puck. She then pulled her hand away and reached out to grab the stick with her LEFT hand. Oops, I forgot.

Barry read an article that said it is highly common in twins for one to be right handed and the other left. I guess Grandma or Uncle Matt will have to teach her to tie her shoes.

Alyna also usually wants to choose what she has for afternoon snack. I've started to pull out 2 boxes of things and let her choose.

I know it won't be long before her personal preferneces spread to her clothes and hairstyles.
