TO: Kirra Ruthi Ideker

     
     So I decided to do a little post of Kirra, Kirra, Kirra.  Kirra is my easy twin.  She was born first, bigger, stronger, and always a few steps above Baili.  Once they got older she really got ahead of Baili.  She is acting developmentally level more above such as a 4 yr old instead of almost 3.  She makes life easier for me.  I have a lot with Baili and Kirra just rolls with it with me by my side.

    She isn't sick often if so it's just a cold or cough.  My Kirra I feel sometimes gets left out.  For that I am sorry and feel guilty at times.  I don't always acknowledge her intelligence, I think because everything she learns on her own and it is just easy to her.  She counts to 20 about....forwards and backwards.  She knows her colors, working on letters, says the alphabet and many other songs.  She is my leader, my mini speech therapist for Baili and well being so easy, sometimes I feel I forget to acknowledge how much I LOVE HER!!  

     She doesn't have therapies, she doesn't have doctor appointments, she eats her food, she drinks her milk, she gains weight, she doesn't have a g tube, she only has one doctor, her Pediatrician.  She is my what they call a TYPICAL child.  I don't know if I like that word but that is what they call them in the school district world.  I sometimes feel guilty that Baili has SO MANY NEEDS that Kirra gets left out.  

     Kirra doesn't have any appointments and no doctor visits, no hospital visits, and I am very GRATEFUL for that!!!!!!  She is my trooper.  If we are in the hospital she will go with my aunt, her Dad, her Papa, me, whomever she has to go with. She just rolls with it.  She is very easy with change and environments, she goes with the flow...  However if I am around she WILL ONLY go with me.  SHE is a very BIG MOMMA'S girl.  She reminds me of my Mom.  Very independent little angel with an ATTITUDE!  She loves new people, playing, talking, anything...  She is my social butterfly.

     I LOVE YOU KIRRA so MUCH!!!  You are my trooper you are my angel and I adore your presence.  :-) You light up a room when anyone is around.  I really honestly can say I have never seen her sad, ever.  Timeout yeah she is mad but it is over in a minute.  She is a red headed tough little cookie with her own agenda.  She is on the top of her gymnastics class that we may move her up with the 3 and 4 yr olds.  This may be a first of many things in her life.  She needs challenges so I have been working hard with her with flashcards (when I have energy).  She can't go to school because of Baili's fragile immune system.  We tried.  Doctors told us NO.  Baili ended up in the hospital and Baili did even go!!  Kirra will probably always have some things in life she can't be around because of her twin but I know she is FINE with it!  She LOVES her sissy more than herself!!!  For a 2 yr old (a world of me, mine, and me) having a 2 year old always only think of her sissy is pretty amazing shit.  

     She is my ANGEL.  I LOVE YOU KIRRA!  I am sorry you have a sister that has so many needs but God gives us challenges for a reason and he chose YOU to be her twin, her leader, her best friend, her life, her other soul.  Thank you for being the best sister to Bai Bai.  

     You are a great person and I know you will do great things.  :-)  Love you!  Here are some pictures of Kirra over the last few months.
