Having 2 and 4 yr old girls.

May 5, 2013

The other day, as I watched my girls driving
around in their little jeep in the backyard…

I pictured them little again.
I’m so glad my girls have each other. They will be 3 and 5 in August.
The fighting over toys and “don’t look at me!! mommmm she’s looking at mee” moments
are worth the cute ways they play together and giggle.
They make each other pee their pants from laughing…. seriously.
we’ve had to do complete wardrobe changes…..


Sophie and Sienna share a room..
and even though there are nights many nights we
wish they would just goo tooooo beddd…
It’s cute hearing them giggle and whisper.
When sienna first moved from the crib, to a big girl bed in sophie’s room…
She kept waking up in the middle of the night and coming to our room.
Or sometimes she would just cry out from her bed for a minute.
One morning sophie told us sienna woke up but that she got her back to sleep by rubbing her back. Once sophie held sienna on the couch and got her to fall asleep…… Tonight at dinner sienna got down and moved her chair closer to sophie’s. they are so cute together. They also know how to push each other’s buttons.
sienna is a hair puller/leg pincher..and sophie is a pusher/stomp away-er.
we do plenty of time outs during the day because of sisterly love. ;)

GIRL TIME.. + daddy.
Daddy crashed the picnic I made the girls…

Seeing my girls growing up, makes me excited for
all the fun we have in store with our micah!
I love when babies are little and in the newborn stage…
but I reallyyy love the 6-12 month age!
He is coming to life.. giggly and jolly as ever
but moving and ready to rock and roll. a total snuggler.
Trying to savor every moment with my kids…
and have more patience in all the crazy moments…
because they are growing up SO FAST.

    What a sweet post. My girls are 4 and 1 and I feel the same way – the are growing up so fast! We need to cherish all of these quickly fleeting moments of their toddlerhood. Your photos are gorgeous and I’m totally jealous of all the green grass you have there! :)

    This is just the post I needed to read. We are going to try this summer for another baby, and our daughter will be two when it is born, if everything works out. We are planning on having them share a room. Thanks for being so honest.

    It’s totally worth having them so close in age to see them become best friends!!!!! :)
