2015 Week 2

Baby C didn't make an appearance in my Week 1 photos, so I had to make sure to fix that in Week 2. Isn't she getting so big?!

We also took a short trip to South Dakota this week. E had work to do in Sioux Falls and his family is only about half an hour away so the girls and I went with. The girls loved the hotel, especially the pool and breakfast. Baby C took her first dip in a pool, but I only got pictures of that on my phone.

Finally, I caught this sweet time with Miss A and Baby C. One thing I can always say about Miss A is that she's an amazing big sister. She has loved both of her little sisters since the moment she met them. She is such a big helper with Baby C now. She doesn't always listen to my requests, but if I ask her to help with Baby C she always does. Seeing the two of them play together makes me so, so happy!

Boy!

It's rare that I can convince Miss A and Little J to sit together and smile for a picture.  This is about as close as it gets.  So I like this picture.  I like seeing my sweet girls play together nicely. 

And they do play together well... most of the time.  Over the past month, though, there has been one argument that I've heard almost daily, sometimes even more frequently.  It is an argument most often started on our car ride home.  Here's how the argument goes,

Little J: "Boy."

Miss A:  "I'm not a boy."

Little J:  "Boy."

Miss A:  "I AM NOT A BOY!"

Little J: "Boy."  (by this point she is usually smiling and/or laughing)

Miss A:  "I am not a boy, I'm a girl!"

And it continues.

I used to try to step in, explain to Miss A that Little J is just saying boy, not calling her a boy.  Or tell Miss A to ignore Little J and Little J will stop.  My reasoning changed nothing.  So now I just sit back and laugh while my (almost) 2 year old picks on her big sister (but seriously, how does she understand how to push her big sister's buttons so young?!).
