Sisters...

These two little girls mean the world to me! They definitely test my patience on a daily basis, but they bring me SOOOO much joy and happiness. Elsie is always calling out for "aia" (just can't quite get the M sound with her name yet!) and they are playing and interacting more and more now. I love it. They always hold hands when we are driving in the car, it really is the sweetest thing. In fact now Elsie will get mad if Maia doesn't hold her hand. Watching them together makes me want to have a huge family. It's funny because when I was first pregnant with Elsie, I remember being so nervous to have two kids. I thought I wouldn't be able to handle it. I thought that maybe I would only want two kids. But if I only would have know how much fun it is to see them love each other and play together I would have had a totally different mindset! Now I'm excited to add another one to the family (whenever that is...NO I'm not pregnant now) and see what that new dimension brings us. ANyway, now I'm just rambling, so I'll get on with it. The other day Maia had to go to time-out for some reason. She was crying hysterically and then all of a sudden she stopped. So I peeked around the corner to see what was going on and this is what I saw...Elsie had gone over to the chair where Maia was sitting and was holding her hand. Isn't that the sweetest thing? And then she gave her a hug and stayed there, holding her hand the whole time Maia was in time-out. This isn't the first time something like this has happened either...they both watch out for each other and when one is sad and crying, the other will bring their blankie to them, or hug them, etc. I love it!

These last few pictures are totally random, but they were cute so I had to include them...Elsie tripped over the hose and face-planted it right into the flower bed. She came up looking like this and Maia and I got our laugh for the day!
