Our Little Girls



Kendra loves to be a helper. Last week she asked if she could change Megan's diaper. So I let her take it off and I then put the new diaper on. Just after that Megan pooped and Kendra said, "I don't want to change THAT one!"


Kendra is very sweet and loving to Megan. I haven't seen the jealousy that most mature moms warned us about. As she holds Megan she often says, "it's okay, sister's got ya."


At the last doctor appointment Megan weighed 10 lbs. and 10 oz. and was 23 1/2 inches long. She is larger than Kendra was at two months. And here I thought Meggie would be my petite one.

When Meggie has hard days I often hold her most of the time. On one of these occasions I was upstairs rocking her when I could no longer hear Kendra downstairs. That's a bad sign. She then came upstairs and very excitedly told me that she had put play doh on all of her toys! Can you see the blobs of play doh? Yep, it was on everything...she sure had fun.

Isn't it funny that kids think the messes they make are creative and oftentimes beautiful? As parents, it can be hard to not let them know it is just a big mess that you now need her help with to clean up. What precious character traits kids can teach us. Of course, Kendra is pretty smart in not wanting to clean up the poopy mess.

What a good big sister. Must make you feel proud! So cute with the play-dough.
