I love hanging with these two every day! What a GREAT job I have. Yes, there are difficult days. Yes, I can never keep up with the mess, and many days I spend my time cleaning rather than playing, much to all our dismay. but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Here are a few things I’ve tried to snap photos of.
Word of the day.
I have been starting to have a couple “words of the day” to help Anna learn to read. On this particular day she erased some of my words and wrote her own. Pretty good if you ask me.
These girls love each other. I love how Maddie says Anna and how sweet of a big sister Anna is. They both are concerned about each other when they are hurt or sad. They fight like siblings, but can make up pretty quickly. They need to learn how to share, but that comes with sisterhood and their ages.
Play dough and coloring. My girls love sitting at the counter on barstools that I hate (I swear Maddie is going to fall one of thee days) and do their two favorite things. Maddie is addicted to play dough and Anna loves to color. They both love doing the other’s favorite thing, but this particular day they were both in their own element, I had a snap a photo. Maddie looks sick in these photos because she was. She was on amox. for some infection. She just finished up her round of antibiotic and looks and seems MUCH better.
I found a recipe for homemade play dough on pinterest so we tried it and LOVED it… until it went moldy two days later! I don’t know why, all the reviews were positive. So we’ll have to try it again.
Anna is so funny and creative with her toys. I just gave them a Noah’s art magnet toy and the next day Anna had all her princesses set up with all their “pets.” Too cute. Don’t mind that Maddie photo bombed these photos. (: and that Anna is just in a leotard in the dead of winter.
Hanging out one morning. Maddie wants to be just like her big sister, in almost ANYTHING. Anna gets annoyed sometimes and I have to remind her that she is Maddie’s hero….Anna thinks it is flattering. This particular morning Maddie had to wear a headband because big sister was. Anna wouldn’t look at the camera, but it is still a fun shot.
