Sorta Sad

Today is sort of a sad day here. It is the first non-holiday day that we have no A. All we get to do now is wait for our own "Princesses in Training" to arrive! We had a great time practicing our caring-for-little-girls skills on A, and have slight to no hope that our own will be as well behaved! I have slightly more hope that X will not try to ignore ours as much as he attempted to ignore A, but that is apparently poor remembering on my part. My little sister feels that I could have been nicer to her growing up! :)

The last week with A was certainly eventful! She learned the signs of us getting ready to go for a car ride and decided to help by opening the front door. She did not leave, just slightly opened the door and yelled for us to hurry up (according to X anyway)!

When X decided to ignore her he would go into his room, shut the door and play with toys that A is not big enough to play with, such as marbles and lego. A learned that if she knocked long enough, he would come out again. This made her extremely happy. He could not understand why she wanted to sit on him, pull his hair, play with whatever he was playing with, etc. We tried to explain that she believes he's super cool, but he just wouldn't believe it.

On her last day A's Mom was kind enough to send the messiest lunch that was not cutlery-friendly. 14 month old princesses do not like cutlery. If there are bits of food big enough to grab, cutlery is dismissed completely. Oh. And she doesn't like to have her face washed.

As an added bonus our family was invited over to A's house for a BBQ this weekend. We had a great time together, plus I got to direct A to her Daddy for a diaper change! We are totally looking forward to some play dates! A must practice being the big sister, don't you think? Muahahaha.
