Growing up is so hard

Sometimes growing up is so hard!

This morning I woke up at 9:30. And as I was waking up wondering how I slept that long, and why no little people had come in to wake me up, I realized that I could hear my two little girls in the basement, laughing and playing together as best friends and sisters. I guess they were having such a great time, that there was no need to involve me.

But once it was time for us to take Bree to school, Elle disappeared and returned with her little back pack. Ok Mom, I'm ready to go. Well, we were all smiles, until it was time to drop Bree off, and Elle had to head home with me. She was so sad and disappointed, that she cried all the way home. I'm sure she was thinking that it's just not fair that Bree gets to go to school and I don't.

Then this afternoon, after we got home, and were sitting at the kitchen table, enjoying our Subway Sandwiches, the doorbell rang. Who could that be. Oh, Bree's little friend from down the street. She wanted to know if Bree could go play at her house. Elle was so excited to see a new friend to play with. While Bree was getting ready to go, Elle stood and talked to Belle for the longest time. I'm sure she couldn't wait to see what fun they were all going to have. So when Bree and Belle headed out the front door without her, she was crushed! She stood at the front door crying and crying.

Gosh, that's twice in one day, that the little sister has been left out! I felt so bad. Elle wants to do everything that Bree is doing. She wants to play with her, wear the same clothes, have the same toys, etc.. etc...

Except for going potty! he..he.. Now that's another story in itself. Every time I ask Elle about going potty, she says, oh no, not me, just Bree. Well, we'll see about that soon enough. :)

Here is the little Rock Star!

So big, and so little :) And right this very minute, so Happy! Because she and Daddy are up stairs playing games together, and I can hear her laughing.
Her first night in the toddler bed. See the smile on her face. She was sleeping in Bree's room with her, until her room was painted. And now she loves to show everyone her new room. She loves to show them her new bed. Elle's room, Elle's bed, she says with a huge smile!

I totally LOVE this little girl :) And I hope growing up won't be too hard!
