It's Hard To Grow Up


Especially when you have a younger sister that plays with all of your 'old' toys that are now 'NEW' again way more fun to play with! These toys are obviously way too young for Ansley, and HELLO!!! too small!!! I don't know how I even get the tray on that seat when she wants to sit in it... though it's hilarious that she is stuck in there and can't get out without my help:)

It's interesting though to think about how at this age kids are dying to grow up and do things on their own, yet at the same time fight growing up by acting like babies. This morning she was playing with Shirley, laying on the floor like Shirley, asking to be held like Shirley. Then her 5 year old cousin comes over and she wants to be just like him, following him like a puppy dog, and copying his every move. In the end she became herself... playing with her dolls, eating with a fork, and watching an Elmo movie in Mommy's bed with her chocolate milk and cookies. (Yes normally it's Hannah Montana, but tonight Daddy found an Elmo movie and she got hooked and went to bed late!)

I'm glad you appreciate it. I'm just annoyed when Aiden climbs in Owen's swing or plays with his toys. Or grabs his binky and runs :). Aiden's now off his own binky. Hooray!
