Ms. Ashton Isadora has been on a bit of an independent streak the past couple weeks. She wants to do everything herself--put her socks on, peel her tangerine, change her own diaper. It's been quite the adventure observing her work. She is also quite the care-taker. She has stepped it up a notch with reading, as she now puts her babies to bed and tells them stories while pointing to pictures. When we were in the studio last night she noticed a clump of dirt on the floor so raced to the broom closet and quickly cleaned up the mess.

This last week we took her to the last home wrestling match. When the ref stopped for blood time and the robust woman ran out to check the mat Izzi stood up and said, "Look mama. Cleaning."
